Many blockbuster NBA trade rumors are being speculated the past few months. Rumors that include superstar and marquee players on a well-known team. Although most of them didn't happen but still gossip on trades will never stop until it satisfies the fans.
On recent NBA trade rumors, one veteran big man is likely going to leave his first home. Brook Lopez is an eight-year veteran player who was the 10th overall pick by the New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets) in the 2008 NBA draft. He has a twin brother Robin Lopez who was just recently traded by the New York Knicks to the Chicago Bulls this offseason. And now, the same fate might happen to Brook.
According to Parent Herald, the Nets will send Lopez to Chicago Bulls and in return, they will get Nikola Mirotic, Denzel Valentine and Bobby Portis as part of the agreement. It was also hinted that the trade deal is already set and just waiting for the teams involve and players to sign it.
The report further states that it seems like the Bulls got the bad end of the deal by trading three players for one. But looking at the bright side, Lopez' addition to the Bulls will fill in the void left by Pau Gasol. Gasol signed with the San Antonio Spurs this offseason after a two-year stint with the Bulls.
Lopez will be an ideal replacement for Gasol and can already be a starter alongside Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo, Taj Gibson and newly acquired Dwayne Wade. It can also boost the offensive and defensive side of the Bulls as Lopez is averaging 20.6 ppg, 7.8 rpg and 1.7 bpg last season.
In an earlier report by YIBADA English, there is three-trade scenario for Brook Lopez. First, with the Chicago Bulls which were already tackled and second, with the Milwaukee Bucks. Trade scenario is suggesting to send Lopez to the Bucks in exchange for Greg Monroe and Michael Carter-Williams. And lastly, with the Boston Celtics. The Celtics must give up future draft picks, Terry Rozier or James Young, and Amir Johnson to acquire Lopez.
Many say that the trade scenario to the Chicago Bulls is more feasible than the others as it would likely place Lopez on a more contender team and will be utilized more.
Will Brook Lopez fit in the Bulls system once the trade pushes thru? Will his transfer to Bulls will established him as a superstar? Can it also be a reunion with his twin brother Robin in the Windy City?
