Hypotheticals were being discussed on espn and it looks like he’ll get somewhere in the $10 million range this summer.

I think he’d be a perfect fit with Zion and the rest of the starters if we stand pat, and we’d still have another 8-9 million to fill out a bench spot or two. Hopefully he’s on our radar

I think he gets more than that. I'd rather just go with Mirotic or Brogdon and hope Randle resigns with his old lakers team now

He’d be a great fit but I’d rather somebody younger.

That same segment had the Pels getting rid of Solo (harder said than done) and going all out for Vucevic. That would be perfect, but probably a pipe dream.

3pt shooting Center I guess is the reasoning.

Get rid of Solomon Hill’s contract and sign Vucevic.

Our Big, will need to get up and down the floor with the likes of AD. That's not Lopez. He is a quality player though.

Because he’s a shot blocking 3 point shooting center that doesn’t cost a lot, why not?

Some of y’all really out here wanting Vucevic? Dude is gonna be crazy expensive. He was a disaster in the playoffs. He plays a position that guys can be found for cheap. Not a wise way to spend money.

If he comes in on a one year, $10M deal that's not bad at all depending on what your other options are. You're going to need veterans to fill out this roster around the young core. Lopez gives you shooting and rebounding next to Zion.

I don’t like him bc for a 7 footer he doesn’t rebound. He’s avgd about 5 rebounds the last few years.

Valid point, I believe Zion and Lonzo will both be above average rebounders for their positions so the things lopez does (shooting and rim protecting) will still provide enough value but I get that concern

His rebounding numbers are misleading. He is great at boxing out, and he is more than happy to let his teammates grab the rebound. Apparently 4’s who play next to him always have awesome rebounding numbers.

The guy stretches the floor, protects the rim, and will let Zion eat up boards. What’s not to like here?
