The Los Angeles Lakers once had Brook Lopez and Ivica Zubac on the roster at the same time. Now, they’re two of the NBA’s best defensive centers.
Lopez left Los Angeles for a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks in July 2018. He admitted to ESPN’s Zach Lowe that he was surprised the Lakers did not pursue him harder to return for a second season. Much like Alex Caruso did, he said he “would have wanted” to return to Los Angeles.
