    Playing devils advocate, I seem to remember Bill Cartright doing this very thing in the finals once? but maybe he was just inside the 3pt.

    Funny. When I first read that, I thought you said Really? not Regularly? HAHA

    It would be a paradox to the NBA and we would all be sucked into the metamorphic black hole of nothingness because the moment a true center can do that regularly, there wont be competition anymore until a second center comes along and can do the same. :)

    Zach Lowe said on his podcast that he spoke with some GMs about Lopez and one of them said that the due diligence his franchise will need to do on Lopez and his legs' health before such trade will be more extensive than anything his franchise has ever done before in that regard.

    I think that tells us exactly what we need to do in order to bring Lopez (Nothing).

    Brook Lopez, tonight against Thunder: 31 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks, only one turnover despite how often he handled the ball.

    He is better than Love, i'd give him that much.

    If he was healthy then i would support bringing him over if the price is cheap. I'd let him do all the work in the 1st half together with CJ and then let Damien take over from the middle of the 3rd.

    Meyers is worth keeping around just for the fact he is one of the better floor spacers. Meyer's is one of the few big men who can make sensational passes - Not a fairly common combination. I think its the little things which have kept him around and earning minutes. Things like often making the right passes and rarely making the wrong ones, and being a reliable floor spacer.

    He's is in pretty rare company. Of 7 footers in the league who make at least 1 three pointer a game, Meyers ranks 3rd in 3 point percentage and second in both makes and attempts. Notice @MickZagger's pick in Kelly Olynyk at the top of the list.

    If he stopped letting people beat him on the baseline he might be a decent enough defender to deserve minutes. But until then we are better off playing Vonleh since he can give you something on both ends.

    I think Vonleh is also already a better dribble driver than Leonard.
