Desperate Robin Lopez salary dump coming

[B-Roy]

Taking a pay cut to be on a better situation will help out the decision. Let's say he gets 11 mil per... That isn't bad

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Denver already offered $12 million a year.

Either way, it's still overpaying. He's going the way of Gerald Wallace in a few years. When that happens, the team that decided to pay him a shitload of money is going to look really stupid.

Three-way footnotes: Portland also gets Terrel Harris w/Robin Lopez, pays Lopez's $1.6M trade kicker and sends two second-rounders to SAC


How many years ahead have we given away our 2nd rounders?
Anyone know anything about Terrel Harris? Oh goody, another SG.
At least he plays defense.

Harris will be waived. Only owed 150k if waived by 10/31/13.

Harris is from Oklahoma State - was undrafted, played a little for the Heat and in the NBDL. Signed in March for 10-day with New Orleans, then picked up for remainder of season.

Last year, he played the worst he's played since his second season. Barely better than Matthews. He's already starting to decline ala Gerald Wallace. Whoever pays Iggy is going to have an albatross of a contract in a few years.

Stats really don't tell the whole story here. He kept that offense together much of the time. And I really don't think the down numbers are his athleticism going, that's playing with no shooters and very little post presence. Here he'd have players to drive and kick to or drive and drop to.

He was really good at lobbing too.

Take the Iguodalargument to another thread!

Maybe one of these days Olshey will acquire a center than can rebound

Meh move

Hickson was a Center that could really rebound.

 

[RoyToy]

The Blazers and Hickson both agreed that he's not a center, though

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm trying to imagine how this team is going to play next season with Lopez in there. I guess he's mostly just a decoy on offense right?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

He had the worst drb% in the league last year (center w/15+mpg)

Hes not exactly what I envisioned olshey going after, but he's a better defender than Hickson

 

[jlprk]

He's a decoy on rebounding, too. I just ran some sorts and he's average at offensive rebounding, and below the bottom of the barrel at defensive rebounding.

(50th in DRB%. Starter. 30 teams. Filtered out all but centers.

Did I mention he stinks at defensive rebounding?)

Edit: Brainiac said it too.
