He has mostly been a defensive liability which is a bad thing for the big nearest the basket so if he'll become an element which in any way minimize the chances of the best (kind of scary at its rare best) OKC-defense ever re-appearing, then we can have no complaints.
He's definitely an upgrade over Perkins. The Thunder desperately needs inside scoring and that's the one thing Lopez can bring them.
downgrade on D but definitely going to give KD, Russ, and Waiters the green light to shoot from deep
Yes a big upgrade over Perkins which is good for them. They get better.
I actually support this. I think this impacts their team chemistry this year and could result in them losing a few extra games and missing the playoffs. Really if Lopez's foot flairs up.
I think it makes them a lot more deadly next season but who cares if we repeat
Let's see if he gets enough touches with Isoballers KD and Russell, and with that ty coach Brooks
It seems like every god damn team but the Spurs makes a move to improve.
The teams usually give up next to nothing to acquire these slobs too.
Lopez really doesn't fit their aggressively trapping P&R defense but he would help their bench scoring a lot. I wonder if OKC is going to give up Reggie Jackson.
I thought Perkins was The Westbrook Whisperer...stuff about to get crazy
I don't know how the Thunder can hold up without Kendrick Perkins
Did some of you already forget Lopez was averaging 21, 6, & 2 just last year before he went down?
Good luck to our bench on trying to outplay Bobby Shmurda, Lopez, Morrow & Waiters. Splitter better come off the bench from Game 1 if they meet, but it's unlikely since it usually takes Pop 3 games to adapt.
We dont need to make a move
And we are not in a position to bring in a significant player anyway
Only for Lamb and Perkins, I'd say it's a good gamble, even considering his healthy issues. Perkins sucks and Lamb has showed nothing so far. Lopez is a very good post player and that's something OKC lacks.
Good move for the Thunder. They get rid of Perkin's bad contract and get a low post scorer. They already have a great helpside defender in Ibaka as well.
is Lopez that good of a post player? otherwise I don't see him fitting with Ibaka who is now mainly a midrange shooting big.
I do see Lopez next to GOAT Steven Adams. Maybe they are shopping Ibaka???
May not be a huge grab, but it's definitely an upgrade over Perkins, especially if that's all they're giving up. Basically a salary dump for the Nets.
OKC Improves the roster without losing nothing and gains another offensive weapon
Thank god Scotty is still coaching tbh.
and how does this help Nj?
Perkins (expiring contract)
Rondo, Josh Smith, Brook Lopez..the year of adding washed-up , negative impact players to promising teams..
salary dump. Can't get better value for him later on in the season. Lamb's career is clutching on straws and a change of address might do him some good. Can't believe they're actually shipping Lopez out but heck, seems like talks are serious.
Hope it happens. If he takes minutes away from Adams that's good news for the Spurs. Adams' length gives Timmy trouble on D and he always seems to destroy the Spurs on the offensive glass. Lopez is a soft rebounder (lol 6 rpg) and defender. He can put the ball in the bucket but there's only so many touches to go around with Russ and KD on the team. His situation as the third wheel would probably be similar to Love's on the Cavs which isn't working out that well.
Lopez sucks and is an awkward fit.
