Hit or miss for Brooklyn
OKC do they even have cap space to pull this off
Jack and lamb can help Charlotte as they fight for a playoff spot.
OKC might have to add a player in this deal I don't know how they can get Lopez with just giving away Jeremy on his rookie contract

Brooklyn would win this trade.

Get a healthy guy back on a good contract and rid of an injury-plagued centre getting paid too much.

OKC would have to wrap Lopez in cotton wool and hope he can play playoffs...If they make it.

Lopez is making 12+ mill this year, Lamb is still on his rookie contract.. how would that work cap wise?

Perhaps Perkins could be going out? Think he's on 9 mill a year...

He's an expirer next year which would make sense for Nets to take him back.

This. Perkins is a 9mil expirer. Makes sense for the Nets with their cap struggles. Also OKC will be getting rid of Jackson soon no doubt.

[The JKidd Kid]

The trade as reported by Broussard is complete bull shit and impossible. Jarett Jack cannot be traded in combination with any other player. Not saying there's no talks just saying that Broussard must have some really shitty sauces if he's hearing Jacks name in trade rumors.

Perkins+Lamb+Gerret for Lopez works in the trade checker

Still think OKC should go after Monroe...Perry Jones+McGary or Adams+McGary

Even if the Thunder traded Adams+McGary for Monroe they would have near 13-14M to resign Monroe next season who most likely would take a small pay cut to play for the Thunder anyways.

If OKC can get Lopez without giving up Adams then it's a great trade for them but if they have to give up Adams the safer bet would be to trade for Monroe who is young, in a contract year, and wants to play for a winner. Ibaka would cover up Monroe on defense and Monroe is much less injury prone than Lopez (missed only 20 games his entire five year career).

More has to be involved. But charlotte giving up Lance would be hilarious. Shit franchise

[AI09]

Brooklyn would win this trade.

Lance has a bad history in his hometown nets are digging deep for Intel on Lance right now. He could be a bigger problem than Jr smitg in NY or Josh smith in DET

Ideal scenario for the Nets

[Fudge]

The league is on suicide watch.

If Presti somehow gets this deal done, he'll be the greatest GM of all-time.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Would love to see Lance destroy another locker room and send the Nets spiraling down into the lottery :cheers:

It's funny because last week Netsdaily said people in the Nets organization said Hollins would hate Lance so much they'd literally either have to fire him or not do the trade. Now a week later the Nets are thinking about it. I think it's a huge mistake. Not moving Lopez (he's going to break, move him ASAP) but bringing in someone who is going to have every bad influence he ever knew suddenly back around him on a team that's already dysfunctional?

Or the Nets can trade for Stephenson, see how it goes, if it doesn't go well then send him home, and then next year use the stretch provision to release him, which would be a 3 million per year hit for 3 years, and that would clear out a huge amount of cap space and save a lot of luxury tax.

Keep the future picks for the Hawks and Celtics high guys! I kinda like Lance so I want him to pick his game back up, but it's fascinating to watch his reputation. He would of taken that short term deal in an attempt to up his price tag when it was time to resign...it's not looking too good for him right now

sums up Presti's thinking

[Relinquish]

Can't wait to watch OKC fail if this happens. Who is gonna take the shots? It's not like Lopez is a good defender. :oldlol:

More shots taken away from Durant = worse team. Less play time for Steven Adams too.

It gives us wayyy more flexibility with matchups and floor spacing, also it will stop Brooks from playing Perkins ass so often which will help in itself

False title though.

OKC hasn't nabbed anyone yet. The talks are still ongoing...

He's not the only player they can trade for. Everything you say always acts like there is no opportunity to do anything else. If he comes, you should be thrilled because there is real downside opportunity of them to totally go to shit. The upside is stop the slide, the downside is just total meltdown.

[Lebron23]

I like Brook Lopez, but he's more injury prone than Bogut.

[chosen_one6]

Now being reported Brooklyn does not want to take on Lance Stephenson and only want to deal with OKC now.

It's funny that people are just now realizing how bad Lance Stephenson actually is.

Lopez / Adams
Ibaka / Collison / McGary
Durant / Morrow / PJ3
Roberson / Waiters
Westbrook / Reggie

:pimp:

Recommend not playing Lopez more than 20mpg until playoff time
