low risk move to improve this season...
to phx: wilcox, 2nd round pick
to bos: lopez
phoenix has both gortat and frye tied up in long term contracts, they may not be willing to spend any more money for a 3rd center when lopez reaches FA this summer.
they get a tru pf in wilcox (a position they are short at) try him out for the rest of the season and if it doesn't work out jettison him.
thy get a pick for lopez that is roughly equal to the position they took him at originally.
we get a athletic young center to back up JO.
we risk nothing financially /cap space wise.
Lopez has a defensive fire in the belly that could really ignite playing in our system.
heck of a reserve center upgrade for us.
