Nope.
Blair and Anderson for Lopez. Why? He is a legit 7 footer, physical and is only 23 with room for improvement. As the 3rd or 4th big (behind Bonner..sigh), he is exactly what we need. Tiago can move to the starting lineup and the team immediately improves defensively. The only question mark is whether the Suns would go for it.
Nope.
For some reason I am sensing many useless threads from you in the future...Try not to start a thread for every idea you think of..
How about a useless response with no substantive arguments. Try again and lay off the sauce next time.
Lopez would be an upgrade defensively over Blair. And It'd allow Tiago to move to the starting lineup... so I guess it's not a horrible idea. Lopez has a big body and good size overall.
Let's be clear, we are not getting any all star big via trade or in the free agent market. So, the best we can hope for is someone with size and physicality on the inside, which Lopez brings to the table. The Suns seems to be down on Lopez and I don't expect them to resign him especially with Gortat in the fold. Maybe Blair and Anderson would be enough.
It might fly. If the Spurs FO tried this last year the Suns brass would have laughed in the Spurs' faces but this year they have Gortat. So Lopez is a tradeable asset, and it depends on where they want to go from here. Do the Suns want to start opening up cap space or hold on to Lopez and pay him?
I doubt the Suns would trade Lopez without getting a 1st-rounder in this year's draft.
how long is he under contract
he is ok not great
He'd be a solid pick-up for the team, but I'd see them sooner going after Turiaf if he's bought out than Lopez at this point.
you do know there is a trade thread in the think tank right?
Lopez is in the final year of his rookie-scale contract, but acquiring team would own restricted rights.
i think the suns would rather get an expiring + 1st round pick from a worse team.
I'm drunk right now so yeah, let's do it. , get Gortat thrown in there too I wouldn't mind him yeee
James Anderson + 1st rounder would be OK.
I wouldn't send Blair for that guy.
I dunno if I'm okay with giving a first round pick for him...I haven't watched him play a whole lot, but of all the PHX games when they play the Spurs, Lopez hasn't really impressed me. We might be able to get a better deal during draft day if we trade up and give up Blair/Anderson/etc.
Lopez would be a great addition to the team and IMO make SA the favorites to get to the finals. Duncan/Splitter starting and Lopez/Bonner backing up is solid.
Oh yeah?
I wouldn't give up a 1st rounder for him since it's supposed to be a deep draft this year. It won't make us the favorite either in the West but it will accomplish 2 things. One, it would put Splitter in the starting line-up - Pop wouldn't dare put Bonner insteadand second, it improves are defensive with the 1st and 2nd units.
Would I want the Spurs to do it? Sure.
Is it realistic?
I know he's not a star... the Suns are a rather small team already, and you want them to go for Blair?
Remember that Hill made Parker expendable, too.
A team that is a couple of years away from rebuilding cannot afford to give away 1st round picks. Those picks are gold. No first round picks offered - for anyone!
However Lopez for Blair and Anderson? yes.
i wouldnt trade our 2012 picks man, this is a deep draft to give up on
Robin Lopez sucks. Spurs should use more Tiago,rather than trading anybody for this piece of crap. And give a pick for a guy, who wouldnt go in 1st round this year is simply bad idea.
