    Money owed Brook Lopez over the next few years:

    2013-14: $14.7 mil
    2014-15: $15.7 mil
    2015-16: $16.8 mil

    That is a huge amount of money for Brook Lopez. 0% chance that Daryl Morey is interested.

    Max money for a 24 year old 7 foot all star. Who is averaging 19-7-2 while playing in a team that have DWill, Joe Johnson and Crash Wallace?

    I take it.

    Lopez is worth the money if he can maintain his current play but how does Houston get him?
    i haven't seen anything remotely realistic.

    Brooklyn would only trade him for Dwight, they have no interest in value contracts/prospects.

    yep. i imagine they'd trade him for Harden but that's about it. i doubt a package like Asik+Parsons+small pieces would be enough.

    He is worth a lot more than that.

    I hear the Pacers want to trade George Hill and DJ Augustin for Harden.

    Maybe George's value completely tanked after his performance in the 3pt contest!

    I'd rather have Gerald Green, he's a better dunker than Harden.

    Hill & Green for Harden. Green's FG% is off the charts this year plus he adds his elite athleticism to Houston.

    Speaking of not paying attention, Morey has said they want max cap space this summer, and he doesn't make up stuff like that. So this makes no sense.

    Lakers realize Dwight leaves after the season anyway, Dwight for Asik, Patterson, Douglas, Aldrich.

    Now you are pushing it. They might opt to trade for LeBron instead.

    Brook Lopez is worth the max.

    I'd also throw in some Moochie Norris Bobbleheads from Bobblehead night years ago. That would probably get the deal done.

    Wow no way the pacers trade all that for Lebron. They have to at least throw in Wade.

    They'd have to release 3 players now, wouldn't they?
