Should we overpay Brook Lopez to sign him

  1. Yes, we are desperate and need a interior defender

    Woj has his head on the chopped block on this one.

    Will his career survive?

    Call iron mountain. Access the tape backup. Get the list ready.

    You could use it to sign to more vets. They are all going to cost more than 20m given the outrageous contracts that are being handed out. They are known to be shopping KJM, Garuba, and Tate. If they can even pick up a rental of OG at 18m why not? They also would try to extend a player like that at probably close to Max. KJM was our starter at SF last year. Tari and Cam will be great off the bench. This line-up probably gets us a shot at the playoffs.

    FVV/Amen/Tyty
    Green/KPJ (if still here)/Jaygup (if still here).
    OG/Tari/Cam
    Jabari/Tari/Cam
    Sengun/Lopez or Lopez/Sengun

    Certainly will if we’re only offering two years. Three years around 60 might do it, though.

    The nightmare scenario is one where we miss out on Lopez but do sign Dillon Brooks.

    Yeah, have there been any rumors about what they’ll do with their remaining $29m? Makes me nervous

    3 years at 20m. I’m in. 2 years at 25-30m I’m in. Neither type of contract would hamstring us. I would rather have Capella if we can do it for a lottery protected pick and KJM or Tate. He is 20.6M for 2 years, I believe. I really feel if we want to compete for playoffs this year we need a stud 3-d sf to start like OG, Grant Williams, etc.

    Three years for a big man who is going to be 38 at the end of the deal could be disastrous. Would rather salary dump another guy then give him 2 years/all the rest of our cap space, whatever that comes to (high 20s).

    My God. The NBA "salary cap" is such a joke.
