    Tbh wasn't Codman also hinting at Brook during the season? I wonder if we would've the guts to play him with Capela...the guy is also going to expire next summer though, are we really ok in paying Brook? Don't think so.

    I like it. Great move
    Capela is on the clock, for PG?

    Didn't Morey try to move Dwight to Brooklyn for Lopez near the trade deadline?

    Not saying that this source is legit, I'm just saying 80% of the "legit" rumors recently make less sense than this one.

    Regardless if this guy is actually Burt Steele, I would love Lopez coming here. Legit big man post game that shoots threes--he is exactly what the doctor ordered.

    This would most certainly involve Ryan Anderson for salary matching right?

    Yes. We have tried to acquire Lopez several times.

    I'm not saying it's happening. But don't be surprised if we turn Anderson into Brook.

    Huh? This insider with 200 followers is saying that PG would be going to LA and we'd just get Brook.

    I don't see how this trade makes sense for Indy. Why would they want Ryan Anderson's contract?

    I would assume they'd be getting picks back.

    George would be great to have; tho something about gutting a team for a 1-off shot is most unenticing. Brook for Ryno? Why the hey not?

    It cant be Brook for Ryno

    Lakers for sure doesnt want a long big contract like Rynos (they pay a lot to move Mosgow)
    Maybe there is a fourth team is this trade .

    Theoretically Ryno would be going to the Pacers for this to work. George, Ryno, and Brook make similar money next year.

    There goes his dream of being home... I'd take him for 1 year over Ryno for the next few seasons.
