3. Brook Lopez – Brooklyn Nets
Lopez has struggled under Lionel Hollins this season, even being benched by the Nets coach along with some other high-profile names as Brooklyn struggle.
The towering center remains an offensive threat but his poor rebounding numbers for such a tall man are disappointing along with his defensive deficiencies and the Nets have reportedly made it clear around the league that they are open to dealing him.
A deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder looked likely at one stage before the Nets pulled out, and so Lopez will likely come up again in conversations around the NBA with the teams being linked with a move.
His injuries are also a concern to go with his contract, but OKC can’t rely on Kendrick Perkins any more to back up Steven Adams and so Lopez could be a piece to add.
