Robin Lopez to Hornets via S&T?

Strange move by the Hornets. What do they want with Robin Lopez when they have Davis?

 

Would be a nice backup.

 

it's obvious isn't it?

Spoiler

Rockets deal in the works for Davis

 

LOL Houston sends Martin, Royce White, and Motie for Howard and Davis.

 

He'd be a good backup at the 4/5. Makes sense.

 

Or maybe they want Davis playing at the 4 spot. I think that would make a ton of sense, if you have a talent of Davis' caliber you don't want to make him a C and have him absorb crazy ass hits from no-names. Turn him into a PF and let other dudes become the sacrificial lamb ala Spurs-TD.

 

I don't think Davis is thick enough to play center.

 

this.

its quite obvious that lopez would be their center and not their backup 4.

 

Didn't they get Ryan Anderson from the magic?

 

good point, yeah they did, forgot about that...

anderson is definitely a 4, and im sure he is a starter, so that would mean that lopez would be the backup center behind davis? i dont think davis is thick enough to be a center like someone previously mentioned here.

 

The Hornets are atually putting together a nice team this year. Good for them.

Took me a second to realize it said Robin. I got a disgusting feeling, not because it meant the Rockets weren't going to get Howard, but because it meant Howard, after all his stubbornness and whining, was in the end going to get what he wanted.

As for the trade. Meh

Suns did well to get rid of Warrick. Solid. They got rid of Childress earlier too. Very Solid. 10/10.

 

Suns get rid of Warrick in exchange for a 1st rounder and a project whose contract will expire in a year or two? Not bad.
