Homering? The only homers here are those of you who think Plumlee is the greatest thing since sliced bread & envision him as the next Tyson Chandler. Now that's delusional homerism.

you seem to love hyperbole and putting words in people's mouths.
Who exactly is calling plumlee the next tyson chandler or some great player? closest anyone has said here is that plumlee could be a poor man's chandler... which he is pretty close to being already (4th in the NBA in FG%, similar as far as how he gets his offense). defensively he isnt chandler, but he clearly has the tools and smarts to be a solid defender if he works hard, and unlike the other bums on this team with huge contracts, he seems to be a hard worker.
Plumlee is averaging 13.4 and 9.6 as a starter this year in just his second season while being top 5 in the entire league in FG%
meanwhile, lopez lost his starting job (to plumlee), is having the worst season of his career since his rookie year, iS taking 3 times as many long 2's (16-20 feet) then any year of his career while shooting them at a horrible precentage (39.8) and having the worst defensive metrics for a full season since his rookie year. He cant stay on the floor, is a major health risk, and our win-loss record without him the past 2 years is significantly better then with him.
yet he is "the last guy we should trade"?
maybe your posts would be better recieved here if they werent full of passive aggressive comments, hyperbole, and opinions backed up by nothing but brash words.

No one is going to trade for D-Will. He looks absolutely terrible out there.
When he rests for months after surgery, we get 1-2 weeks of good play out of him.
When he rests 1-2 weeks, we get a game or two of spry D-Will before he goes right back to playing well below his pay grade.
My guess is that his body is shot and we'll never see anything close to what we saw in Utah or even his 2013 post-ASB play.

Exactly. No one even remotely called Plumlee anything on here close to that.
Unlike some blind Net fans, some of us appreciate guys that go out there and play hard over guys who don't. Lopez's tenure as a Net has been riddled with lazy play, a playoff appearance where he got annihilated on BOTH ENDS of the floor by Joakim Noah in Game 7 on his own home floor, injuries, and now a well deserved benching. He is the first guy we should trade because he's the only guy who has value to teams that can live with his one dimensional game and passive play.
I'll take Mase's 13 and 9 over Brook firing mid range bricks and playing soft as hell.

Dude is a beast. He had a solid game against us when we the Jazz beat the brakes off of us a few weeks ago

He goes to OKC for a package centered around Perkins.
