The really said part is these guys are building and paying for a playoff team, yes, but not at all a championship contender... All Porkhorov is doing is putting butts in the seat, while bringing in and overpaying for guys like J. Johnson and Brook Lopez. The only 2 guys that may be worth their contracts are D-Will and G-Force because they'll play up to what they're getting paid. So glad we have Morey >>>>>>> Billy King.
So you're sticking to what you read in a Hoopsworld comment thread and are claiming that the Griz rejected the 2nd pick in the draft for Gay. Too bad Michael Jordan is such a hideous GM, or else he would have realized what a superior value proposition that was.
Dude, I can't understand why you spit on reports as though somebody called yo mama a bad name. LOL, does Rudy Gay really make your head spin that way? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Would make no sense for the Nets to give Lopez the max. Let him sign an offer sheet. Max he can get is less than your max to him.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Brook Lopez is still weighing a Charlotte offer sheet against the Nets 4-year max offer, with partial guarantees in 5th year, sources say.
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/sto...ooklyn-nets-agree-brook-lopez-60-million-deal Source: Nets to sign Brook Lopez Updated: July 11, 2012, 6:33 PM ET By Mike Mazzeo | Special to ESPNNewYork.com Recommend72 Tweet167 Comments757 Email Print The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to terms with restricted free agent center Brook Lopez on a four-year, $60 million max contract, a league source confirmed to ESPN NewYork.com. This effectively ends Brooklyn's pursuit of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, since Lopez can't be traded until Jan. 15 once he signs the contract, per rules of the collective bargaining agreement. Nets general manager Billy King was in Los Angeles negotiating with Lopez's agent, Arn Tellem, on Wednesday. Lopez, 24, played just five games last season because of foot and ankle injuries. He owns career averages of 17.4 points and 7.5 rebounds in 251 career contests over five seasons -- all with the Nets. Mike Mazzeo is a regular contributor to ESPNNewYork.com
Time to trade them Scola for a pick. I thought he was getting a 5th year with guaranteed money from them. Did they lie to him? Even if they did I am sure he wants to stay in Brooklyn with his new teammates.
Why have the lockout? First Hibbert, then JJohnson again, and now Lopez all making obscene amounts of money. Caman just got a 1-year $8 million deal, similar to Kwame's 1-year $7 million deal. What next, Javale McGee max deal?
It'll be funny as ORL watches him in Nov and Dec and realize they were about to hand him a 5th year for his non-rebounding self as a Dwight centerpiece.
