Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

What Brook Did This Summer

Brook Lopez didn't go overseas to play. He did go to Hawaii with eight other players, including his brother Robin, to meet with troops, hold clinics for the children of those fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and play in a couple of scrimmages. Otherwise, it was pretty much radio silence.

Now, Robin Lopez reveals how the seven foot twins spent their summer. In a tweet, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports what Robin told him, "Lopez said he has regained athleticism but said his health was no excuse for his play. He & twin Brook paid to work w/Olajuwon this summer." That would be Hakeem Olajuwon, the Hall of Famer.

Specifically, the two spent a week with Olajawon. Robin said of the experience: " "He has so many moves down on the post that it's impossible to absorb them all. You've got to pick one or two to work on and then go from there."

by dwill8brooklynbound on Dec 1, 2011 7:20 PM EST up reply actions  

Nvm

It can’t be Dwight because Howard would be traded for him. I guess that means Nene or Chandler?

by dwill8brooklynbound on Dec 1, 2011 7:21 PM EST up reply actions  

First of several things.

Here’s the real numbers on what Deron Williams would be giving up.

Williams is due $16,359,805 this season and $17,779,458 next. Add on the $39,559,293 he could get through a two-year extension and he could earn $57,338,751.

But if Williams waits, opts out and re-signs with the Nets, he could haul in $100,050,000 million. So unless he looks at $42,711,249 as chump change, he would be far better off to wait and re-sign with the Nets, who can give him five years.

If he looks to sign elsewhere after opting out, Williams could get a four-year extension bringing his package to a value of $74,298,000. So he’d be walking away from $25,752,000.

This year we have 48 games in the East, and 18 games against the West.
We can make the playoffs if we win 30 to 33 games this year.

Tim Duncan isn't the most gifted bigman ever

but he was still dominant. The same thing goes for Jason Kidd, who could barely dunk and had a weak jumpshot. Yet they’re both HOFers.

Just got word

There won’t be any Loud & Proud season packages this year, due to “lack of interest in the initial offering.” Of course that was during the lockout when nobody had any excitement about the team, but whatever.

So it will be on an individual game by game basis, similar to last year. I’m guessing that you won’t see it for games where they can sell tickets like Knicks, Heat, Lakers, etc.

I really would like to keep the center we have...

1- We don’t have to trade for him. We do not have to give up any assets for him. we already have him
2- Even when he signs his extension, he still will not make as much money as Howard does…
3- He is the guy we drafted.
4- He does not have a diva attitude like many players in the league.
5- He is younger than Howard.
6- He is already a 20ppg player and he is still getting better…

We have been asking for the longest what he was doing for the summer. Come to find out, he was working hard to improve his game. And the fact that he paid out of his pocket to do so speaks volumes. While others were looking for ways to get paid this summer, he was paying to get better. I am so impressed with Lopez’s attitude right now. We already knew he had the skills. But now we know he has the desire. i want to keep our center.

Chandler is better than Nene

Throw those advanced Stats out the window for a second. Chandlers rebounding and defensive abilities are valued so much more to a team than Nene’s offense. He can shut down the paint like he did last year vs Kobe, durant, LeBron, and Wade. He has the toughness that this team needs. We dont need another guy who “scores”, we need a guy with defensive presence that make people think twice about coming into the paint. Sorry, but Nene just doesnt do that. Ask the Mavs. They came back with the same team last year, and added Chandler. The year before, they were knocked out in the first round by the Spurs. The next year, they add Chandler, they win the goddamn finals. Just to show you how valuable he is. Nuggets teams with Nene went nowhere. Chandler is the much better option for this team, and is definitely better than Nene.

Chandler is a better rebounder, but Nene is the more complete (and therefore better) player. The Magic would probably want him more than Chandler in a D12 trade.

more versatile, can play both the 4 and 5 effectively for starters

better passer

better cutter

better ball handler

better scorer

better free throw shooter

stronger and just as physical

can finish with power or finesse

only thing he doesnt do is rack up blocks and high flying lobs but the nuggets gave up 5 less points with him on the floor. I guess Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan are the next coming of Robinson and Duncan

like he’s going to come here for MLE money.. like no one else notices all these “great qualities” he provides except the nets and therefore no one else will drive up his price.

You can’t think of it that way, Claud. You play for match-ups.
There are 96 minutes a game between the power forward spot and the center spot.

Each big man would be able to play 32 minutes per game at a combination of both positions. They would have to sacrifice their dignity and be comfortable with starting some nights, coming off the bench others.

For instance, you might want to start Chandler and Nene against Dwight Howard with Lopez coming on when Howard leaves the court.

What would the salary numbers with Chandler and Nene ( crazy hypothetical)….

with outlaw waived and lopez gone potentially. I obviously didnt do the math

by lezosamis on Dec 1, 2011 8:45 PM EST reply actions  

Nene has worked hard this off season

“Nene began working out six days after the Nuggets were eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs. He worked out five days per week, playing five-on-five and three-on-three regularly. He also spent a week in San Antonio working out with several NBA players, including San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan”

So you know for a fact that he’s not only in good shape, but his game will be improved this season. Also, if he plays with Deron, his numbers are bound to go up. At 14 million, it probably will be a little much but if we can get it down to 12.5-13, I am for it. Those of you asking for Chandler, he is going to cost the same as Nene. In fact, if anything, Chandler’s value has went up with the Mavs win.

When they report 13 mil per year

does that mean starting salary at 13 with escalations above that, or a mean average of 13 per?

2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship

Mission accomplished thus far.

Using Carlos Boozer's contract as a benchmark

is kind of silly because a lot of people felt he was overpaid. And the Nets’ offer to him last year was over and above what he was worth.

Tyson Chandler doesn't seem like aguy who wants to play with clowns like Lebum, Stoudemire, Melo or Bosh.

He doesn’t like things handed to him, Nene has been on the record saying he would like to play with the three amigos down in Miami.

Honestly.. a lot of us would look a lot more favorably on Johan Petro if he didn’t take so many dumb shots on offense. If Petro could exhibit the same kind of restraint that the Hump showed last year, he could be a more useful bench player.

by mytoemytoe on Dec 1, 2011 9:38 PM EST reply actions  

agreed

and he seems like a decent guy who works hard and really wants to improve the team. I don’t hate the guy, but he does need to play better.

by sheepareevil on Dec 1, 2011 9:39 PM EST up reply actions  

I read Petro & Outlaw were out of shape last year

That’s probably why he’s been working out so hard this summer.
Hopefully he’s a better player this season.

@VC4Prez

UK absolutely destroying St. Johns tonight. Terrence Jones with a break-out game: 27 points on 7/12 shooting, 11/16 from the stripe, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks, 4 steals, 3 turnovers.

Davis 15 points on 6/10, 15 rebounds, 8 blocks, 2 steals, 1 turnover.

The Magic would be crazy not to make a deal now but they should probably be making that deal with the Clippers for Minnesota’s #1, as much as I hate to say it. They’ll have 2 shots at getting into the lottery.

Great news to hear Brook training and getting playing advice from the Dream!

I have been saying this for three years now and now it looks like Brook took it upon himself to get in touch with Hakeem! I am excited about this. Dwight can train with Hakeem all he wants, but, Brook is the one that has the offensive skill set to take his game to the next “DREAM” level! Way to go Brook! With that said, we still should get Howard if afforded the opportunity, however, to me Brook is the second most center I would want on my team.
