Milwaukee Bucks Consider Trading Veteran Center Brook Lopez
The team aims to adopt a more versatile defensive strategy, potentially moving Lopez despite his strong performance.
- Brook Lopez, 36, played 79 games last season, averaging 12.5 points and 2.4 blocks per game.
- Lopez's contract is seen as reasonable, but his age and injury risk make him a trade candidate.
- The Bucks are exploring trades to modernize their defense, with potential deals involving teams like the Raptors and Rockets.
- Lopez's departure would necessitate finding a new center, possibly through free agency.
- The Bucks' playoff performance suffered due to injuries to key players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
