Lopez on L.A.’s Radar?…
Folks, grab your popcorn and corndogs because the Los Angeles Lakers are on a wild-goose chase to snag themselves a big ol’ center for the next slam-dunkin’ season! After showcasing the invisible defense of a paper cut-out and sending Anthony Davis packing for Luka Doncic, the Lakers’ center department is dryer than a ref’s whistle on a leaky night! Now, enter the towering, 37-year-old Brook ‘Jolly Giant’ Lopez, who’s strutting free without his Milwaukee Bucks. Can the Lakers score this mighty oak to protect their paint and splash the long ball, or will he slip through their fingers like a greased basketball?
While Captain Giannis himself battles bigger dilemmas in Milwaukee, our man Lopez is testing the waters like a curiosity-driven dolphin. NBA whisperers claim the Lakers already wiggled their eyebrows at Lopez, despite the contractual ‘no-speakies’ rule. Legalities, schmegalities! Let’s get broiler than burnt toast and remember that Lopez knows the L.A. sands from his Hollywood days. He might not be the dashing prince for Doncic’s glass slipper, but he’s got a decent three-point shot and enough experience to fill the Lakers’ treasure chest!
But wait, the Lakers have a back-up stab! Rumor has it they’re dropping calls like hot potatoes about Atlanta Hawks’ own young swoosh-dynamo Onyeka Okongwu! Picture it: a dunk-a-palooza of phenomenal athleticism and defense, all wrapped in a reasonably-priced four-year contract! Whether Brook Lopez or the soaring Okongwu lands in La-La-Land, one thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be a basketball soap opera with more twists than a ballerina on a corn dog!
