The Chicago Bulls have made Robin Lopez available in trade talks.

Lopez is on a $14.4 million expiring salary, which could make a trade difficult.

If Lopez isn't traded by the deadline, he could become a buyout candidate.

I thought he retired a few years ago?

Buy out waiting to happen. Would love to see my Celts give him a flyer. Otherwise candidates for his services are likely Golden State, Bucks, OKC

Brooks brothers in MKE would be cool but unlikely Bucks make more changes unless injuries push the agenda. We could cut Jason Smith though.

Bucks have a Lopez.

NBA rule 7954b (the Morris rule) a team cannot have more than one member of a nuclear family on it's roster especially twins

Sorry, Zellers, plumlees, holidays, lopezes, rivers balls and of course morrises.

Who am I missing?

He could be a nice piece in a playoff run. Rolo killed Boston a few years back and can still space to top of key. Provides great D and rebounding off the pine, a bigger improvement from what Henson provided in that role.

Plus, he's lethal against every other team's mascot.
