Trade Kaman, Meyers, and T-Rob for Brook!

That would be so fucking awesome! But who would start?!?!

Robin. Brook plays kaman's role.

WHOOHOOO! A 15 mil bench player!

You suggested trading for him. You know how much he costs. Say we give them nothing but expirings of wright, Robinson and kaman. That's over 11 million dollars on our bench and we only play 1 of them.

It was a joke bro... I actually wouldn't mind him coming off the bench... He would be getting the same minutes he's averaging now anyway. :chest bump:

Kaman hasn't exactly been an iron man in his career

True, but at least Kaman is healthy right now.

We have lots of fire power in the starting lineup already. Fropez compliments the other starters nicely. I wouldn't mess with that.

Now imagine Brook coming in off the bench and playing the Kaman role -- only much, much better.

Then in end-game situations -- it's situational.

Amazing.

Amazing.

Brook is also a pretty good defensive player, when he doesn't have to carry an offense. He would instantly be the best shot-blocker on our team.

What a sales pitch. "We'd really love to have you as part of the rockets organization so we can trade you later on this season!"

I think that's directed to Brooklyn

Brook Lopez actually makes sense!

He has such a face you want to punch

Problem with that is you cannot combine the TE with a player. It has to be one trade for one player. I think Brook makes like 15-16 mil

True but technically you could trade for a player Brooklyn wants, and then trade said player and one of yours for Lopez.

James Harden for Brook Lopez

ESPN top 25 under 25


1. Anthony Davis | Age: 21 | Pelicans
Projected 3-year WARP 44.0

2. DeMarcus Cousins | Age: 24 | Kings
Projected 3-year WARP: 28.3

3. John Wall | Age: 24 | Wizards
Projected 3-year WARP: 25.6

4. Kyrie Irving | Age: 22 | Cavaliers
Projected 3-year WARP: 24.0

5. Paul George | Age: 24 | Pacers
Projected 3-year WARP: 26.9

6. Andre Drummond | Age: 21 | Pistons
Projected 3-year WARP: 26.3

7. Damian Lillard | Age: 24 | Trail Blazers
Projected 3-year WARP: 26.1

Pelton: Players similar to Lillard have tended to peak relatively early. Of course, we said the same during Lillard's rookie season, and he's found plenty of room for improvement since, jumping into the league's top 10 in both WARP and win shares.

Thorpe: Lillard is fast becoming a dominant all-around impact player as a primary ball handler, one of only a few in the league. He can change the outcome of a game with his perimeter shooting or by expertly managing the game while feeding teammates.

Elhassan: Dynamic scorer and playmaker who has stepped into a leadership role almost seamlessly. His defense leaves something to be desired, as does his finishing, but Lillard is highly productive and a scouting report nightmare.

-------------
How the hell can you still compare Dame to players who have "peaked early"... You can tell Pelton still holds that bias.

You know something about ESPN? Take it away Strenuus!

Think there is a great possibility he is moved before the end of the year.

I could see that... if he didn't make so much damn money! What team(s) could/would trade for him? Matching salaries is REALLY tough to do & it has to make sense value-wise as well. Not saying there aren't any potential suitors out there, but I can't think of any that make sense.

This is not to say I think Portland should go after him although I do think they would try to make a play for him. I think Portland needs to do somthing about the two three position. I personally don't think this team is good enough to go the distance and I really think they either need Nic to WAKE up. Or they need to move him and get better. They in my opinion are not good enough.
