If Nicholson dont get ROY we will be a Top 3 pick in the draft. Lopez, Nelson and JJ as starters? Talk about defense!

Someone needs to tell Rob that picks are good, but having all 20-30 picks won't get us anywhere...

My bet is that Rob wants Shabazz.

I just can't see RDV being happy giving out big checks to a lottery team.

Brook Lopez got 8 rebounds a game thanks to Kris Humphries boxing out. Without him, he is a 6 rebound kind of guy! We're going to get the same rebounds we got from Dwight only, with our 2 frontcourt players...

Me too. That doesn't mean we have to pay Lopez to make it happen.

I said it last night, I remember hearing RDV didn't want to get rebuild pieces for Dwight. He's too old to go through another rebuild process. He wanted to see a championship. Thanks Dwight.

That is unfair to Lopez, who only played in 5 games. He averaged 8+ rpg his first two years in the league. He isn't a great rebounder, but if he could improve there he could be a force with his offensive game. I'm not trying to really pump up Lopez, but he gets way too much hate sometimes. He isn't a bad player, it is hard to find seven footers who can score 20 ppg.

as much as i hate lopez also and couldnt be any more angry about all this, were just gonna have to deal with it. Also it will be fun to see 2 good low post scorers play together in lopez and nicholson :wink:

Reported trade

Orlando gets:
- Brook Lopez (S&T)
- Shelden Williams (S&T)
- Damion Jones (S&T)
- Luke Walton ($6 million)
- 3 Draft Picks

Brooklyn gets:
- Dwight Howard ($19 million)
- Jason Richardson ($6 million)
- Earl Clark ($1 million)

Cleveland gets:
- Kris Humphries (S&T)
- Sundiata Gaines (S&T)
- Quentin Richardson ($3 million)
- 2 Draft Picks

Clippers get:
- Marshon Brooks ($1 million)

One bad contract won't kill a rebuild. 3 of them will.

Add another draft pick to Orlando, coming from Clippers. Totaling 4 draft picks.
