Robin Lopez and the New York Knicks are in discussions on a deal that would pay approximately $12 million or $13 million per season.

The Knicks have identified the frontcourt as their area of need this offseason and have already struck out on LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Monroe. New York is still in the running for DeAndre Jordan.

Lopez spent the past two seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Los Angeles Lakers are also seriously considering Lopez.
