    Are you trying to imply that the Pistons aren't going to win the championship next year?

    Perhaps the worst news I've heard since the sweep. Fuck.

    Brook Lopez to sign 1-year deal with Bucks for $3.4 mil. And we can’t pull that off?

    Seriously! Get rid of Papa G and sign Brook Lopez with our TPE - isn’t this a no-brained? Lopez off the bench behind Nurk would be nice!

    To be fair, Papa G's small non-guaranteed contract has nothing to do with not having enough money to sign Lopez.

    We can't sign players with a TPE.

    We don't ever have that much available. Itd be been the floor spacing that Neil wants.

    Of course!

    But couldn’t we have used our taxpayer MLE to acquire Lopez? Bucks are only giving him $3.4

    We spent most of it on Seth Curry and giving Trent a guaranteed contract.

    So frustrating watching the other teams pick up decent talent while we do nothing -

    I know Brook Lopez has had decent numbers, but he sure didn’t lead Brooklyn to many wins (in a bad conference) he didn’t get the Lakers over the hump last year either. I could be wrong but I think he’s one of those guys who put up good numbers but they don’t really lead to wins.

    I see. So not much more we can do besides make a trade?

    I think we have 17 days to use that trade exception.

    $3.4million for Lopez is a great deal. I wouldn’t hold it against him that he didn’t take Nets or Lakers to positive record when surrounded by bad players. When he had a fine team in Brooklyn he was an integral part of a team that had a winning record.

    He’s not someone I would build around but for 15-20 minutes a game he could provide different scoring and some danger in the post.

    Milwaukee will be able to give him a starting role too.
