Should we overpay Brook Lopez to sign him

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

    Coming from SALMAN ALI, I would take this post with a grain of salt.

    I wouldn't mind Brook Lopez in the frontcourt rotation, obviously behind Sengun/Bari. I see him taking more minutes from Bari than from Sengun. Adams also should be getting minutes. Landale would be more than expendable after this.

    This would free up minutes for Amen/Tari.

    Why would you want Lopez over Jock Landale who is cheaper and younger as the THIRD center on the rotation? Lopez is like 35 he is too slow to play any other position besides center now.

    Because Lopez is a better 3-point shooter and defender. Would be a rental for one year anyway. Landale will be gone.

    This gai welshed on a verbal agreement at the last minute and made the rockets overpay brooks when there wasn't enough time to pivot before deadline.

    Bucks would have to eat cap space with dookie picks if he wants to land here.

    If Rox FO really wanted a stiff like Lopez, they're prob better off drafting one...

    That's why I thought it would be charming to trade Brooks for him. Gets the money off the books after this year.

    I don't know, I just think he will be gone, either before or after this season.

    Since Adams is not likely to be in great shape and he might not ever return to form, I would of course welcome him, but the price would be too high. I am also not sure how I feel about him given the whole fiasco, but we don't know what was said, promised and it was more our FO that made this whole thing a mess by just giving away players without a clear commitment.

    I am still not interested in Lopez. Maybe if he was on the right side of 30.

    Bucks: Blocked shots and DPOY titles are overrated.

    Hartenstein, at this moment, is now generally expected to return to New York, as the Knicks have contacted opposing teams about moving Mitchell Robinson, sources said. There appears to be a wide range of starting-caliber big men available for trade. League personnel told Yahoo Sports the Bucks are open to reshaping their roster, and they are gauging the trade value for Brook Lopez. Houston, sources said, cautioned Lopez that re-signing with Milwaukee could very well lead to him eventually being traded when the Rockets pursued Lopez in free agency a year ago. Atlanta, sources said, continues to pursue deals for veteran center Clint Capela, who’s entering the final year of a contract that still owes the 30-year-old rim protector $22 million. Rival teams believe Utah is willing to engage in trade talks that would part ways with Jazz second-year center Walker Kessler. And the Detroit Pistons are evaluating the market for Isaiah Stewart, according to league sources.
