You guys know I'm jokin , BUT DAMN THIS FOOL IS PUTTING UP SOME #'S!

I started to regain my faith in Greg this season.

However, I'd trade him for Brook Lopez without blinking.

NJ, ONTH, would tell KP to go **** himself.

Lopez is a beast.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Teams are kicking themselves for passing on him.

A frontcourt of Lopez/Jefferson would have been scary.

NY could have started their rebuilding the right way with a franchise center instead of the Hedo-lite they drafted.

Joe Alexander was taken over Brook. Joe Alexander!

Another second year center:

Marc Gasol: 16pts, 14rebs, 3blks in a horrible loss.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Thabeet looks like a Thabust.

He seriously looks like Boumtje-Boumtje so far. His game is not translating over to the pros like how I imagined it would.

Living in NY I get to see a lot of the Nets, and while Lopez is certainly good, the stark contrast in how that team looks for him compared to how we just ignore Greg and the variety of plays that have him basically just catch the ball 3 feet from the basket and lay it in is so very aggravating. He's got range, which helps him get more frequent looks than Greg, but really he's basically a true center version of Lamarcus in terms of his skill set. And yet him and Devin Harris run the PnR so incredibly efficiently I can't help but wonder why we can't even see a little bit of this with either Greg or LA. If more than a handful of LMA's designed plays weren't just the same old 17ft jumpers he'd be so much more respected around the league, and seeing Greg in a competent PnR where the guard actually looks to set him up moving to the basket would be a godsend.

No thanks, guys. You can keep Gregory.

Not really. Have you seen the Nets squad? They need all the help they can get.

You can have LeBron! With the way the Cavs are playing, I think you can get him cheap

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Lopez is Bynum-esque. Both are not especially athletic, fundamentally sound, solid young centers. Like Brad Daugherty back in the day. Greg is closer to a Moses Malone type. He's much stronger and much more athletic. He is already a more valuable player. Shame, shame, SHAME on anyone who would consider trading him for Lopez. Let's see you say that in a couple of years.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Tell you who has impressed me in preseason and the first game: Russell Westbrook! Maybe you CAN learn to be a PG. There's hope for Bayless yet.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Wow Brooks down the stretch in crunch time was impressive. Dudes a witch with his disappearing act.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I wonder if Lopez' coach gets him more than 3 shots?

 

[Denny Crane]

The real test is if he can get more blocked shots than turnovers.

No worse than Houston this year.

 

[BenDavis503]

If Greg was our only option, he would score a lot too.

 

[Luther]

Lopez is much better on Offense right now. I would say Greg is more of a defensive presence though. I wouldn't trade Greg for Lopez though. I don't think Oden has showed us what he is capable of yet.

[rocketeer]

No worse than Houston this year.

minnesota is far worse than houston this year. the twolves might not win 20 games. they started corey brewer and damian wilkins on the perimeter and their first two bigs off the bench were brian cardinal and ryan hollins. that team is absolute garbage.

 

[Idog1976]

In two years this thread will be laughable. Today it's reasonable to suggest that we should trade Greg for Brook. I think in a couple of years no one would consider trading Greg for anything short of CP3 or Lebron. We'll see he has the tools, does he have the will? Does he have the coach who can get the most out of him? These questions remain to be answered. I have faith in Greg.

In case you didn't see it in the other thread you are the man for getting that James Brown on last night. However, your manhood has been revoked by rocking that Laker ring as your avatar. DOUBLE SHAME ON YOU!

As I said in another thread, I am sick of everybody bashing my Blazers on here, so I am now a Laker fan!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Good call. Because no one in here ever bashes the L*kers.

Aww, that's sad.

 

[Blazed Mania 52]

So after game 1, I my revamped Oden 09-10 averages prediction has changed: 4.5 ppg 14rpg 3blks meanwhile Joel gets 1.1 ppg

 

[Deebag]

4.5? Really? Isn't that how much Joel averaged last year? I'm pretty sure Oden is at least 4x as efficient as Pryz on offense and this was just one of those bad games. He averaged more than 4.5 in his limited minutes last year, so how could he possibly average less? I know Nate has said he's not looking to go into Oden as much as he should, but still...4.5 is insulting.

Lopez was developed as a 1st/2nd option for a full season last year on a non-playoff team. Of course he's going to be better at putting up stats right now.
