The Golden State Warriors need a center, and, when you remove players on playoff teams or under control for numerous years, Robin Lopez is one of the best around.
It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, that there’s mutual interest between the two, and has been for some time.
Golden State has only four centers: Jordan Bell, who is undersized, Kevon Looney, who is undersized, Damian Jones, who is out for the season, and DeMarcus Cousins, who is a question mark from a health standpoint.
Adding Lopez - a veteran seven-footer - would be an obvious move.
