Should we overpay Brook Lopez to sign him

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

    Lopez is the best center available, but I hope this deal isn’t more than 2 years long.

    Another great take from this joke of a fan.

    This year's FA class is terrible! I rather trade for players into cap space and maintain flexibility.

    Tobias Harris ($39m)
    Kyle Lowry ($29m)
    DeMar DeRozan ($28m)
    Marcus Morris ($17m...would need to incentivized)
    DeJonte Murray ($19m)
    Buddy Hield ($19m)
    Evan Fournier ($18m)
    Jonas Valanciunas ($15m)
    Mo Bamba ($10m)
    Patty Mills ($7m)

    Must be a Laker fan if they think they can land Lopez for that. Hell we’ll probably give him 25

    I just heard, he wants to stay with the Bucks because he think they can win a championship, but the money have to be close. Milwaukee is looking to give 12 to 13 million we need to give him at least 22 million….we need to blow Milwaukee’s offer out of the water

    We pay him that much and it's FVV + Lopez + whoever we can get with the room exception and we're done. But y'know what, I'd rather that than throw any kind of bag at Dillon Brooks.

    I believe we have a MLE we can use and we can still trade Martin and Tate for picks to get another wing player

    If we do not get Lopez we need Capela


    • Although Hawks star Trae Young likes playing with big man Clint Capela, the team has been open to discussing Capela in trade talks this offseason in part because it wants to open up more playing time for Onyeka Okongwu, says Scotto.

    This is the way. If we want a legit SF then trade for one.

    I would offer Brooks Lopez $18 Million and pay up to $20 Million for 2 years. That is a tradable contract if Sengun learns to shoot the 3-Ball and has grown the reported 1.5 inches since draft day. If he takes the mid-level exemption to go to the lakers or returns to the Bucks at $15 Million so be it... move on to trying to trade for Capela or another option. Don't give the "godfather" offer to Lopez.

    Lol I don't have a Twitter anymore and now can't read the links posted unless you are logged into a twitter account.

    Convenient on the first day of FA.

    Imagine losing out on Lopez because we make a promise to Brooks…and losing KJ to boot.
