NO WAY!!!! You can get a much better PG than Jennings for Lopez. You should be able to get any of the PG's in the 2nd round and down. I'd target guys like S. Curry, Nash, Rondo, Billups, T. Evans, D. Rose or hell, John Wall.

Reject that trade immediately. You can do much better.

No... Lopez will turn it around eventually. There's no chance Jennings FG% improves.

Terrible trade if you're even considering it. Lopez is average 19-20th pick and Jennings is 50-60th.

Even if Brook is playing bad, it should give you leverage to shop around for a better deal.

I say you better off trying to package Brook + someone for Rondo if you really want to get rid of Lopez.

to be honest, i don't understand why you would even consider it. Brook is the better player and even during this slump, he is probably the better player

lol, ya'll don't know how to build around Jennings.

And I wouldn't sleep too much on Jennings. There's still a GREAT chance he'll improve quite a bit this season, and he's already showing it (his 1st tripple double a couple games ago for instance), but I still agree that Lopez is the better player, just by not nearly as wide a margin as people are making it seem. If you need Jenning's stats THAT bad, I'd try to include a second player in the deal to even it out a little bit; like a role player for a slightly better role player.
