Say he stays relatively healthy and doesn't have foot problems the entire season . The kid can ball. He has really improved his defense and rebound, and is a legit go to scorer.
Not only would it help add to our current roster, it greatly improves the chances of those Nets draft picks .
Say we get a top 5-10 pick from the nets this year, plus Lopez
PG: Smart / IT
SG: AB / Hunter
SF: Crowder/ Jerrebko
PF: Sully / KO
C: Lopez / Amir
plus whoever our top 5 pick is
That is clearly a 50+ win team, and top 5 in the East .
If Danny misses out on Durant, I have to imagine Lopez is near the top of the list of possible max free agents next year.
