The Los Angeles Lakers surprised a lot of people when they decided not to re-sign Brook Lopez during free agency this summer, including Lopez himself.
In an interview on “The Lowe Post” with Zach Lowe of ESPN, Lopez said that he was taken aback by the lack of motivation on the Lakers’ part to bring him back for a second season:
“I was a little surprised (they didn’t come after me harder). It just didn’t end up working out. It kind of went in one direction pretty quickly.
