Brooklyn has reached agreement on a 4-year, $61 million max deal with Brook Lopez, league source tells Y! Sports.

Wow major props to Broke Lopez' Agent.
Dude played for like 5 minutes last season and he still rings him in 60 milly for 4 years.
Amazing!

I'm upset it hasn't picked up more traction, props are deserved.

It must be those delicious garlic fries you had up north.

It cleared your mind for better predictions.

Seeing that Destro had to create the "HOWARD THREAD PT III" makes me a bit sad (because I really thought PT. II was gonna be the last one) but wasn't too much of a surprise.
Especially how this has been an everlasting topic.

This Dwight situation has been going on for like 2 years.
I know with a huge superstar like Dwight , deals don't always happen with a blink of an eye. SMH

When will the madness end? LoL

Normally free agents can't be dealt until Dec. 15, but Bird free agents re-signing with their own teams that get +20% raises get extra month

Interesting, I did not know that... So January if Dwight's still around.

I doubt he will be around by then because Orlando wouldn't want the drama and distraction, but who knows.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic... But at the same time, what if he absolutely had to have Brooklyn and did stay around...

Then again, I think Lopez' deal was a financial last straw for Orl... I don't think they'd trade for him now anyway.

in my book doc, you are just as credible as some of the regulars we follow, you just made stuff up sure but you used everything you knew about this situation and probably enough about trolling and past NBA trades of superstars so safe to say, you had the potential do it, and you did it very well I might add. So far 2 of your tweets have gone confirmed, crazy crazy crazy, you may just get a job offer from the Chronicle :lol:

nets deal is now dead, should our lakers go after d-12 now that them and the rockets are the front-runners or let him suffer in orlando

Legion Sports ‏@MySportsLegion
Kevin Durant makes $17 million a season (5 year-$86 mil); Brook Lopez will make $15.25 million a season (4 year-61 mil). You be the judge.

damn that deal is just horrible

They're going to be aching when the new Tax amounts go into effect.

If the Nets aren't as profitable as everyone is projecting right now, and by the next CBA discussion, they're not making a boat load of money, this is going to be exibit A for the bad owner crowd.
