    Honestly wouldn't mind that but I very much doubt it happens. That's not an "upping our risk profile" move.

    That $22M+ he gets this year wouldn't exactly fall under the category of "freeing up a lot of cap space to sign another star player."

    If true, I'm guessing Ryno would be going to the Pacers.

    We take on Lopez for 1 year at $22.5M and shed Ryno's last 3 years at $20M. Gives us flexibility for next summer, too.

    Seems like a Moreyesque move.

    Who the hell is Jason "McLaid"?

    Is this the 2017 off-season Burt Steele?

    Why?

    Do we move Capela to PF or does he become a backup?

    I mean, well, he does have the word insider as part of his twitter handle. So, it must be true.

    lol, f that...Morey better find a way to get Paul George

    Lopez is not a game changer, and he is not gonna entice another high level FA to come here

    This has legs.

    Defensively you'd have Capela as your switching 4 man. Offensively Capela would run pnr while Lopez spread the floor.

    But......Capela could be on the move.

    Brook lopez to the Rockets has legs. Don't be surprised if it happens.
