    Disagree. Nene and Black have both been very disappointing.

    Thanks for the multiple heads-ups!
    Dribbling in anticipation of Ryno being gone and Lopez signing for the minimum!

    Hell yeah. Morey always has something up his sleeve nobody anticipates. Brook Lopez would be a perfect fit in this system, adds more star power to throw at the Warriors who have a shallow front-court, and does it all without interrupting or replacing any major part of the team. Cyber's most exciting drop today

    This is what I've been waiting to hear about!!!! Thanks for that confirmation JMW!

    Noel adds another Capela type player for when Capela sits or is nicked up. Rolling hard on PnR, rebounds, shot blocks, perimeter/switch D, passing.

    i dont watch many games this season so i dunno about black, but nene's numbers are exactly what you need from a backup center. black is good enough for spot minutes when nene needs to sit.

    I was thinking Lopez could replace Ryno at the 4 for the playoffs but man my dude can’t get a rebound to save his life. Ryno can build a brick house on the Toyota Center floor but at least she can get you 10 boards any given night.

    Black is no good, but Nene might be good to keep for the playoffs. Last year in the playoffs Nene was doing great until he got injured. Just need to keep him healthy.

    In terms of capitalizing on the buyout market, you're unlikely to see a bigger name than Lopez.

    This is an easy call. Fills a need and adds a potential x-factor into the equation. Can hit the corner 3 at a high percentage. Let's not forgot he was a 20 PPG scorer last year. He has a little Yao in him. Just an absolutely gigantic player that's uniquely blessed with great touch and skills on the offensive end.

    Anderson averages 5 rebs a game lol.

    Just cause he had 13 rebs one night doesnt mean he will get 13 rebs every game.

    Best case scenario Morey can deal Anderson for some decent rembounders and nab Lopez in a buyout.

    He is a terrific corner 3 pt shooter. Great at hitting the three off the Harden drive and dish at the corners

    Lopez would look great next to green on the bench, obviously all of our roster changes are for morale support reasons since we only have a 7 man rotation or something like that
