    Robin Lopez is really solid. Has a presence in the paint and is physical. He would be a great add for any team. He would be great with the Rockets. I think he would work well with Harden. It would be a rich mans Nene. And he would be able to play full starters minutes which is key.

    I'll vouch for @ch44. Don't know him personally. But he knows things and has connections. Wish he would post more.

    Definitely legit. Nailed the Carmelo saga and has dropped tidbits here and there. I will also point out that @Clutch does a great job of booting the fake insiders, which is why we don't see roe4christ, King Drew etc. around anymore. We have a great trio in @Codman, @cyberx, and @ch44

    Lakers would waive Lopez all day everyday before trading Lopez to receive an even more robust contract in return in the form of Anderson's contract. The whole purpose of the Lakers bringing in Lopez was to keep them mildly competitive until they could form a good young core. If they brought in Anderson with his contract that would defeat the purpose of their rebuild.

    If he can join with cheap salary, lets buy it. I think it is worth to pay salary tax this year. We are very close to 1st seed and champion

    Watching this dude right now and he would be massive upgrade over nene and could also take some of rynos minutes if we play big. We get him, I think we're the favorites.

    I really don’t think Lakers would buy him out guys. Yes they have a couple other centres that are young but they’re not key players. Lopez is not taking minutes away from Ingram, Lonzo, Kuzma, Clarkson, or even Randle and Nance. There is no reason to buy him out. He’s had a few nights where he didn’t get his minutes, but if that’s the reason for a buyout you can certainly bet he wouldn’t choose Houston.

    No thanks! Lopez is 11Pts 5 reb and 1 ast per game player that will be making $22M this year and next year. And his got a horrible stats on the free throws. We are good with Nene coming off the bench.
