    Lopez is a MLE player about to get paid like a max player, I don't think he's getting screwed either way

    They will match whatever Portland offers him. They can't offer him more than a 4 year max deal.

    ok..thanks for clarifying. But then why sign him to a 5 year max at all? I doubt Orlando wants that either.

    Fair enough. You are right. By screwed I meant that I doubt that 5th year that NJ is holding over him is going to materialize.

    Like I said, I doubt they will. They are saying they will to him now so he doesn't go sign an offer sheet with another team that limits him to 4 years. But, if the deal with Orlando falls through I bet the Nets tell him to take the 4 year deal anyway.

    It's not a contractual deadline. It was just a time thrown out there. Do you really think the Nets are just going to walk away just because it went past 3 pm?
