Fuck that. I'll take a 5% chance at Ben Simmons over 100% chance that this team never sniffs a title with Brook Shi . . . Lopez as its linchpin.
Yup. Would rather find a way to trade for another 1st rounder using Kaman/Henderson/Meyers so we could go get Sabonis and Simmons.
We (wisely) refused to over-pay the healthy member of the Lopez family. Let's leave it at that. If Brook was ever 100% healthy, he might actually earn that contract he has. His history suggests that will never happen.
I like the idea of ANY kind of scoring and rebounding. Adding him wouldn't changing the tank trajectory much either.
Which picks are we using to obtain the robot feet required to keep him healthy? Honestly though we would still have good cap space I'd we made this move. And if it really only cost us Kaman and some future picks then I think it could be a steal. He's one of the better centers in the league. His health is the only concern but that might be behind him. We also desperately need somebody who can score in the post. Once we get that you will see things really open up for guys like dame/CJ/Aminu.
Brook is a very good player, I think it would make us better, even though we already have a deep, versatile, big men rotation.
What assets get you there? We can't (and shouldn't) trade this year's first rounder because it's conditionally Denver's, and who do we have that Brooklyn wants?
If it's really a Dec 15th type of trade it means one of the players involved is someone on a new contract
Lopez signed a new contract in July, making him the guy that cannot be traded until December 15. Kaman and change for Lopez? Sign me up. Anytime you can trade guys off the end of your bench and add a rotational (top 8) player to your roster.....it should be a no-brainer! Does this make us a championship contender??? Sorry, but no.
Brolo just can't stay on the court for a season...when he can, he's all star level. Folks saying he's old are wrong though..he's about Gerald Hendersons age
We can't even move a future 1st round pick until 2018 or 2019 ... That doesn't seem like a Olshey-type move to me.
I liked this post then I remembered we're already better than last year so this trade could net an extra 100 wins. We'll be unstoppable. If we can somehow still get Simmons, his rookie hazing next year will consist of pushing Brook Lopez in his wheelchair.
