10 Centers could go in the 1st.

As many as 10 centers may go in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft, which would be higher than any draft in recent memory. Nerlens Noel, Alex Len, Steven Adams, Cody Zeller, Kelly Olynyk, Mason Plumlee, Gorgui Dieng, Rudy Gobert, Lucas Nogueira and Jeff Withey are all projected as first-round picks.
That’s a ridiculous number, considering most drafts have just a handful of centers that are selected in the first round.
Not to mention, six or more centers could be drafted in the second round of this year’s draft including Mike Muscala, Colton Iverson, Marko Todorovic, Vitalis Chikoko, Bojan Dubljevic and DeWayne Dedmon.

Even though centers take a while to develop, you have to think that negatively affects Lopez' trade value if that was ever part of the plan.

Lopez is a somewhat proven commodity on a non-guaranteed deal for the next two seasons, which means he has value to any team needing a big man.
A number of these guys aren't going to be contributing for probably 2-3 years, like Adams, Gobert, Noguera, etc. Hell, Noel himself won't be contributing much for a while due to his injury.

His deal becomes fully guaranteed in about 2 weeks (July 5th), so if the Pelicans are hoping to use that contract detail to their advantage, they'd need to move him soon. Agree with the notion that he has value regardless, though.

Len is a PF too!

you're on to it! he's such a talent that he's a true center that can be paired with another center and wreck some shite

Almost all "Centers" in todays game are really just PFs.

yes, many of the guys starting in center spots are pf's. i always say this. and they are damn good pf's too. why not let them play pf and bring in a "2nd tier" center. there are plenty. thats a lot better than a really good pf paired with an avge one or a 3/4 tweener.
