    Brook Lopez would make the team worse? Please. Who says he would start. They could find ways to use him effectively.

    Last time a checked your salary doesn't determine where you are in a rotation.

    Brook Lopez has no business in a fast paced MDA system. Once teams like GS go small he's useless. Morey better not be even entertaining this chit

    then you should probably double check, especially if you understand winning but it doesn't sound like it. youll probably use an example like well mozgov got paid and didn't play. yeah well obviously bc the lakers are garbage

    Morey just inserting himself into trade talks for a superstar.

    "Yup. Totally interested in taking on Lopez to make this trade go smoothly for yall... And what exactly are you guys giving up?"

    u don't bring 22 mil off the bench...especially if the guy can still play and isn't completely washed like a Joakim Noah or Amare on the Knicks

    How would this make sense for the pacers? They could get picks for PG, lakers nor rockets have good picks to give

    Fine. Go ahead and believe all your paul george, CP3 pipe dreams. Lopez is the most realistic of the options posted on the board thus far. Start or not, he would upgrade the team.

    He is enhanced version of McLuvin. He doesn't love, he just gets laid.

    Cool. It wouldn't make me want to watch. We need a real contender in Houston like the Texans and Astros.. not a first/second round exit

    in reality, his brother is a better fit here based on his overall skillset. brook lopez makes $22 mil which is basically as much as the highest paid centers in the league at $23 mil but is no where near worth that. but apparently its ok to bring the highest paid centers in the league off the bench. learn something new from someone on this board everyday

    Keep your expectations low, then you won't be disappointed, or watch the Astros.

    How to be an "insider"

    Pull things out of your ass and hope one grows legs and boast about how you were right if one does

    You are saying Robin Lopez would be better on this team than Brook. There is just no talking to you if you evaluate players that poorly.
