Nets and Thunder talking trade

[DJ Fieri]

Lopez for Perkins, Jones and a few draft picks?

The Nets would get raped. If this happens, nobody better ever mention the Gasol trade to LA again.

Meh, the Nets window is all but officially closed. They took a shot with some older guys, it didn't work, so they are probably looking to re-build from the ground floor.

Lopez with the Thunder would be scary.

OKC would be scary with the new guys.

If the Thunder got Lopez then that might entice Durant to stay there and might lead them to a playoff run this yr.

I'm thinking the Thunder get raped in this deal. Multiple picks for an oft-injured center? Those lower body issues are tough to get over when you are big man.

Adams looks pretty promising. Why stunt his development and give up picks for a center that can't rebound nor stay on the court?

My thoughts exactly. The biggest hurdle for OKC so far has been health. Why trade for another guy who's going to be continually injured?

Also Brook Lopez is only good on one end of the court. Last time I checked the Thunder had no problem getting the ball in the basket?

Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Waiters and Lopez? Are they going to be playing with 3 basketballs at once?

They're pretty good on defense actually

A big part of that has been Adams, who would be relegated to the bench if they obtained Lopez. Marginally better on offense, because of their production already, and way worse defensively.

Good quote from jerry west.


"Don't fall in love with a player who scores a lot of points on a bad team."

Reminds me of love, lee, brook, monta, Kevin Martin, Jamal. A lot of them to name

 

[OregonDucks]

Good trade. I think Nets could use Perkins well.

That playoff run is coming either way but I agree for the most part.

This trade was talked about before the Thunder got Waiters, it won't happen now.
