can you read correctly. key word is fit. something you obviously are oblivious to. you're focused on who these guys are individually. they're two completely different players. i couldn't careless who is the better player. it's all about whats best for the team and how they operate to put them in a position to win games. putting up 20 pts a game while being below 50% and grabbing 5 boards a game for a 7'0 who is medicore or bad in all areas the rockets need from their C in no way is impressive to me. by all means if that's your preference continue to cheer on
The only thing i can think of us sending anderson to indy and russel to the nets with moz. That would give us someone to move for a lottery pick or mid first round pick. Therefore we won't have to move bev. That give us $31 mil in cap to sign a griffin or millsap while obtaining a lottery or mid first. You can use that pick and flip maybe ariza for an upgrade at the 3 spot or maybe a draft pick we can use if we move gordon and lou to sign cp3. Dream Scenario would be monk falling out the top 10 and falling to us. Cp3/Bev Harden/Monk Ariza/Dekker Griffin/Harrel Capela/(Filler)
As much as it would hurt me to watch another big man struggle to get 6 rebounds in a game, I would do this in a heartbeat if it means getting rid of Ryan Anderson. Lopez is better than Anderson AND expiring. Just get us out of having to pay Ryan Anderson nearly $20 million to stand at the elbow and miss 3's.
I completely agree with you. Brook Lopez has never impressed me. He has the emptiest scoring stats and can't rebound to save his life. However, if we can get rid of Ryno, you have to do this, right? Brook is expiring and would be an upgrade over Anderson imo. He can shoot relatively well and he gets a couple of blocks a game.
a brook lopez fits a rockets front court if the 4 position is a tristan thompson type. someone has got to play that role for balance and lineup versatility purposes. but how well that works isn't exactly promising. as the stretch 4 position has opened up the rockets offense a ton as we've seen this year. there aren't any 5's in this league that are a legit threats to kill you from the 3 over the course of a game, let alone season
I'm sure there are tons of trade packages floating out there. This one sounds more like a plan E, but this would be a total Morey move if the biggest dominoes don't fall.
Brook Lopez would be a terrible idea lol. High usage, low impact player. Thank god this is fake news.
he is a heck of a scorer, he can block shots. He took more threes this season as well and hit them at 34 percent. I'd rather get Galinari, but i'd be alright with Lopez. We need a scoring centre like him
I would be sick every single game I saw Lopez take 16 seconds to make it from the baseline to halfcourt running at full sprint each game. There's not many players in the league I hate more than this guy. If he was shorter than 6'9 he wouldn't even approach representative basketball.
Uhhh, didn't the Lakers just trade D' Angelo Russell & Timothy Mozgov to the Nets for Brooks Lopez & the 27th pick in tonights draft? So what makes anyone here believe that They'll trade Lopez to Houston for Anderson?
Because we could add an asset to Anderson that would help the Lakers get George. Indy may prefer Anderson and an additional asset to Lopez in a George trade.
