Robin Lopez Appreciation Thread
Oh, Fropez. You were once so, so promising:

And then you had a really bad nerve injury, and you lost 8 inches off your vertical. It doesn't seem like you ever fully recovered, but I still think you're one of the better backups in the league, and heck...if you can ever regain your old form, you'll be a decent starting C like you were in 09/10.
Given our FO's recent history, I look forward to reacquiring you in the next few years, so we can relive this:

Fare thee well, Sir Robin of Fropez.

Re: Robin Lopez Appreciation Thread
His best moments came from being on the bench. I'll never forget sitting behind the basket closest to the Suns bench vs the Raptors and heckling him all game. I'll miss having someone be the martyr when the team's 2nd unit isn't playing good.

Sadly, in his time with Phoenix, my most memorable image of him was from that video.

Re: Robin Lopez Appreciation Thread
I was a fan of Robin before his streak of good games back during '10 season, and was feeling ecstatic when he play like a real starting center. Even when you started on your downswing spiral I still thought you can bounce back and I am sad to you go, good luck with the rest of your nba career rolo

Just names ending in Lopez, Childress, and Warrick. Looks like I won't have that opportunity this year.

Re: Robin Lopez Appreciation Thread
We made a mistake, Lopez will dominate the league averaging 23/11/2 and Suns will be left wondering why did we trade this beast.

The only way Lopez could average those stats is if he played 59 minutes a game.

I wish we drafted Holiday or Hibbert instead.

Or Ibaka, or McGee, or Ryan Anderson, or Batum, or Courtney Lee, or George Hill, Deandre Jordan, or Asik, or Pekovic, Darell Arthur, or Chalmers, or Mbah A Moute.

Didn't know it was possible, but he managed to both suck and blow at the same time.

Re: Robin Lopez Appreciation Thread
Kerr said they worked out McGee and Jordan with Lopez, and admitted making a mistake choosing him.
