The Warriors have an open roster spot that they've kept for a potential buyout candidate. If they had Robin Lopez at the very top of their wish list, it appears they need to find a new No. 1.
In order to be playoff eligible, Lopez and the Bulls would need to agree to a buyout by 8:59p.m. PT tonight. But all indications point to the big man staying with Chicago for the rest of the year.
As K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Tribune writes:
There are many reasons why Lopez will remain with the Bulls past Friday’s deadline to be waived and eligible for the playoffs with another team.
