Report: Lopez's future with Portland

Center Robin Lopez will be a free agent come July 1. While Lopez has been an integral part of the Portland Trail Blazers the last two years, he may not return. From Joe Freeman of The Oregonian:

    "Of all the potential moving parts on the roster, Lopez's value is perhaps most heavily connected to LaMarcus Aldridge. Lopez's unselfish demeanor and defensive-minded, team-first playing style is a perfect match alongside the four-time All-Star in the Blazers' frontcourt. If Aldridge backs out of his pledge to re-sign with the Blazers and bolts for another city, is Lopez's value still as high? Will his skill-set and style still be the perfect fit? Does he remain the "missing link" for the franchise? These are questions President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey will have to answer. Either way, I can guarantee you this: Olshey will look at other center options. I have said before that I think he will pursue free agent Greg Monroe. And we know Olshey has ties to DeAndre Jordan. And let's not forget how hard Olshey chased Roy Hibbert three summers ago. And, remember, coach Terry Stotts has a history with Tyson Chandler."
