    If Neil thinks we're ready to make waves, do it. We need size desperately.

    7 foot Centers who don't avg double digit rebounds suck at rebounding. Those are SF rebounding numbers...

    Would make sense after we lost out on Kanter.

    He'll be perfect behind Leonard.

    Scores 20 ppg on 54% shooting. Averages nearly 2 blocks per game. When I first read this, I thought nope, I'm happy with Plumlee. But Lopez is an All Star level scorer. He would be a needle mover on our team, I think.

    I'm calling BS. Nets have no incentive to deal Lopez, they dont even have their pick this year.

    That's the point. They want to trade Lopez FOR a pick. They gave all their picks away to Boston.

    None of you remember @Hank The Dwarf ? He's an OG Blazer forum member from way back. Way before this place ever came to be.

    No idea if what he's saying is even close to reality but it's nice to see him around.

    He says he's a dwarf, but he posts like a troll.

    Hope CJ isn't involved.

    I can't see Brooklyn giving Lopez away for nothing.

    Fwiw - their pick is unprotected this year and will go to Boston.

    Neil wouldn't trade CJ.

    Kaman and our first rounder is fair. Then we can stop with all the tanking talk.

    As long as he's not too expensive picks wise, I think this trade would be good.

    We need a bigger body to man the middle. Plums is good, but he's very slightly undersized against true sized centers.
    Same with Ed Davis, and, unfortunately, Leonard plays much smaller than he is.

    B Lopez is only 27, so only a few years older than Dame. He'd bring much needed size and scoring in the frontcourt -
    As long as he stays healthy that is!

    Because he plays so well with Plumlee?

    We can't trade our first this year, we owe it to Denver. Can't trade consecutive years either. Earliest first we could convey is 2018.

    Lopez for a 2018 first. Yeah, I don't see why the Nets do this?

    Problem with this is Lopez cannot be traded until December 14th and Denver has our #1 unless it is a lottery pick.

    That would help them. Their 2018 pick goes to Boston.
