Woj: Brook Lopez getting Max contract

[hawkfan]

If Lopez is healthy and Humphries comes back and Brooks isn't traded, Nets have

PG: Williams
SG: Johnson
SF: Wallace
PF: Humphries
C: Lopez

with Brooks and Evans off the bench.

Should be enough to get into the playoffs.

Nets.

This team will be the 2008-2012 Atlanta Hawks. They will never reach the ECF.

And you have to rub it in? We are aware and I'm slightly upset.

Joe's on the decline, so expect less production every year by 10 percent.

But can he score 20 PPG........on one foot?

Hes like 23 or 24. Teams never assume youre Greg Oden or Yao Ming till you break 3 years in a row. People break a foot, suffer complications that double the expected recovery time, and then never get hurt again(Jordan for one). Cant call it. But at least it isnt a knee.

Though Waltons main issue was a foot....

[G-train]

. Are they crazy? He was injured for a majority of last season and he can't even rebound properly for a guy his size.

Didnt miss a game prior to that though.
He is better than Hibbert, 4/58m or 5/78m is fine for him.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

He is a 20 ppg scoring center. Only 3 exist in the NBA currently. He is worth the max in my opinion. Yes his rebounding is poor but he has it in him. He did average 9 rebounds one season and he didn't just forget how to rebound. Plus the dude had a knack to put up HUGE points. He is probably the most likel center to put up a 50 point game. He had 38 this season so that's not a far stretch.

lol sure...whatever makes u happy

Well, I wouldn't expect his production to rise from here on in.
It's obvious that he will decline. However, he can still be very productive until his contract runs out or near the tail end of it.

Billy King Wasted so many good Assets between Cap space, Expiring COntracts and multitude of draft picks and SHOULD of done alot better. If he didnt waste that Draft pick on Wallace He could of traded #6 pick and Lopez and future picks to Magicand D12 would of already been a Net. Instead he is Wasting Money on bad contracts and the Nets will be a first round Playoff exit type of team instead.

Really? Name the teams in the east that will beat a lineup of -

D-Will - Taylor
JJ - Brooks
Crash - Green
Hump - Teletovic
Lopez

This team looks pretty capable of making it to the ECF, but no further than that.

I hope Lopez stays and plays in Brooklyn though because that means Howard doesn't play there. I want Dwight to go to any team except the Nets since that is his preferred destination.

i feel bad for nets fans

their team has sucked for so long and now they probs wont get howard so they will continue to suck for the foreseeable future.

if only howard didnt opt in then he would be a free agent and definitely a net by now

edit: actually they wont suck, thats unfair to say, but they aren't favourites... although their lineup could still be very good

Heat Def, and Celtics, Bulls, Pacers, Knicks all have a legit shot

[Meticode]

Hes a center who can score 17-20 a game if you give him the ball and get out of the way.

Thats all it takes. Shit...thats a lot more than it takes.

98 Ike Austin would get 11 million a year this offseason.

I remember when Ike went to the Magic and failed miserably.

[tpols]

Christ

[Kblaze8855]

He would do the same now. Only it would be the Blazers giving him 4 years 52 million to be a 9th man in 2 years.
