Is anyone else reading into this? If Ainge is going to make a play for Love, then we've got to get RLopez right??? any word on his contract? is he a RFA or FA?

Or is it even possible that we try and "steal" away 3/5th of Portland's starters....
C - Robin Lopez
PF - Aldridge
SG/SF - Wes Matthews

Is this even possible?

EDIT: RLopez IS a FA as of July 1

Have you tried doing any research to find any of this before posting?

Does anyone know who Robin Lopez's agent is?  I can't find it with Googling since a bunch of free agent stuff comes up.

I ask because reportedly Love + Pierce have the same agent, and I was curious if Lopez was with the same one.  Might give a little context to the rumor.


EDIT: Indirectly got my answer by looking up Jeff Schwartz (Love + Pierce's guy).  Lopez is not a client.

They'll be a top five lottery team next year

I would love to see Robin Lopez join the Celtics, he's would be a very nice asset to add, and desperately needed. A center rotation of He and Zeller would be very effective.

@SHAQATTACK

Portland was such a fun team to watch in the 2013-14 season, esp. at home.

This season it was obvious they had lost their edge.

And despite adding Kaman and Blake, their bench was still super thin.

I don't think they ll be a bottom 5 five team, but with all these rumours going on, and with OKC and NOP getting better it is an open question whether they will make the playoffs.

RLopez > Plumlee

Robin would fit very nicely on a CBS led team

Hardly the stuff of dreams. Useful player but not much to be excited about.

Not at all. And the nba going  small - makes him useless in the 4th

FYI - Arn Tellem/Wasserman Media Group is the answer.

Looks like Draftexpress has a pretty thorough list:

Pretty interesting sorting the list by agent and seeing how powerful some of those guys are.

David Falk, from Jordan/Barkley/Ewing/Mourning/Mutombo/Iverson to Sullinger/Turner/Austin Rivers, I wonder how he lost his power grip, if it wasn't for his apparent Georgetown connection, he'd only have a few NBA scrubs as his clients.  Greg Monroe to the C's looks like it could happen though  ;)

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Robin Is the best Lopez in the NBA.

I've always been a big of Robin, don't think he'll move the needle all that much, but he's a solid player to have.

I think he's been underrated and underused.

I prefer RoLo for the smaller contract he would receive rather than DeAndre Jordan at the max.
