Lopez and the Knicks agreed to terms Friday on a four-year, $54 million contract, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports. While the Knicks had their sights set higher this summer, Lopez is a nice addition for a team desperately in need of rim protection. While Lopez is limited as an offensive player, he's serviceable in the pick and roll and finishes well at the rim. Lopez will step in as the starting center and should see big minutes with Jason Smith as his only current backup.
