:comeon:Thats not the type of center you need in the West with all these PGs that can kill you on the Pick and roll. There's no way they get past the Warriors, Spurs, Portland, CLippers or Memphis in a 7 game series.

Russ/Durant have shown that they alone can beat most of these teams if they had the right piece. If Lopez can stay healthy and give them another option in the playoffs when the game slows down, that will be a bonus. Outside of GS, I don't see any team that would give them that many problems. Can't be any worse then Perk/Adams combo.

lol people hating on Lopez but now Lopez is finally on a real team for the first time in his career( admitting this as a Nets fan) Lopez ability to score down low is something OKC has been missing and now they finally have it.

As a fan I don't like this deal. I guess OKC don't want to develop Steven Adams as a starting center ( OKC NEVER feed Adams in the post), plus I don't trust Brook Lopez health. This would put us over the cap, and we haven't given up that much in that Lopez trade so it's a win win. Perkins needs to be involve in that trade to make salaries work. Plus Lopez is a free agent next year, so hopefully we can sign Lopez for cheap and start Adams.
Lopez is NOT starting. Too injury prone to start.

He would be fine feasting on bench units.

So if Charlotte is getting Lamb and Jack then another guard or two have to go, preferably Henderson and/or Gary Neal.

I don't know. I can see Henderson sticking around. They could simply throw Roberts in as filler if Jack is coming for one. Neal may be out for a while considering he was hurt AND playing like crap.

I'm okay with this though. Lamb isn't going to get a better shot than this. Sucks we gave up on Lance so quick though. I think a better coach could've made him and Kemba work great.

Apparently the Nets are the only team not to agree yet because their not really sure if they want Lance. Would be Perk to Brooklyn to reunite with KG & Lamb to Chalotte to reunite with Kemba. Grant Jerrett would also go to Charlotte according to Broussard.

Also covinced you guys don't know what you want from OKC. Their in the tax right now & would go further in getting Lopez, Lopez would be the post scorer that we've needed since forever, & we would finally be getting rid of Perk. Yet somehow everyone is still shytting on the idea, even though it's against everything people bring up about the Thunder outside of Brooks.

Exactly. I like how when OKC actually goes out of it's way to add pieces to put them over the top like people have asked them to for YEARS, suddenly it's a bad idea. :what:

It's also a solid plan to keep KD and Westbrook in town :ohhh:
