    Poor Lakers striking out again! Lopez knows the deep hatred for the Laker organization is unforgivable

    Knicks don't have their draft pick and need to do something. The east is so horrific Lopez/Porzingis/Melo/Afflalo/Grant wouldn't be impossible to sneak into the playoffs.

    Two rookies, an overpaid average center, and average shooting guard and a diva. I smell lottery.

    Perhaps, but
    -Portzingis
    +Henderson
    +Vonleh
    has a much better chance.

    Yeah if they even think they have a chance at the playoffs I bet they consider trading Portzingis for vets. Its going to take more than Henderson but some team will be getting a great prospect.

    Yikes? That's almost like MLE with the new cap. Eastern conference, I think the Knicks will enjoy his services.

    At least there will be plenty of offensive rebounds to be had with Melo and Afflalo chucking up jumpers...

    Yes yikes. Robin Lopez is not that good. Monroe got what? 16 million? I'd rather pay him that a million times over paying rolo 12-13

    The market for big guys is the market. And every team needs them. I think that's going to be par for an average (or slightly above average) seven footer under the new cap.

    Unless your in the NBA finals; then you might not need any.

    Big men do have their place; but I wonder if we'll see less and less of the slow footed centers. The game has become much more skilled and less physical the last 10 years and that is a trend which may continue.

    I'll root for Lopez and Afflalo in NY. They are both great guys.
