    This is a no-brainer because of his injury. No news here. It's coming up now because the deadline is next Wednesday.

    I'd rather target a real PF.... As you can see, a player like Dalembert would work wonders with a good all-around PF beside him....No need in getting Lopez to play alongside Scola....IMO of course

    Lopez is soft as hell. He's basically the Center/PF version of Rudy Gay. I'd pass on him. You need bangers, paint protectors and rebounders at the C position, not softies.

    I can see Orlando making a serious reach for him once Howard walks (granted the magic don't get a legit center in return when they trade him)

    Beggers can't be choosers. The Rockets need a true C prospect.period.

    I guess a stress fracture putting him out for the season doesn't scare anyone else off?
    besides, I think he projects better as a PF ala Paul Gasol. he could be very effective in that role, but still needs a big body next to him to take the defensive load.

    would rather give DMo a run at PF under the same circumstances than overpay this guy to pose as a C.

    Do you like the fact he is soft, has foot problems or is a terrible rebounder better?
