Hornets Want Lopez For Stephenson

Per Woj,

 

 

 

The Nets have talked with Charlotte on the possibility of a deal for Stephenson, a Brooklyn native, and have been scouring the league for intel on Stephenson, sources told Yahoo. Charlotte has had a willingness to consider center taking Brook Lopez, whom they nearly signed to an offer sheet in 2012, in a trade, league sources said. The two teams have exchanged ideas, but Brooklyn has been mostly spending time trying to investigate the risks and rewards of possible scenarios with Stephenson.

The Hornets want Brook Lopez for Lance Stephenson. A deal is not imminent but Brooklyn has not closed the idea on the deal yet.

Possible Trade

Charlotte Receives: Lopez, Bogdonovic

Brooklyn Receives: Stephenson, Henderson, Biyombo, lottery protected 1st round pick

From Woj's story: "Charlotte has been open to discussing the Nets' big-salary stars as part of a broader Stephenson package, including Lopez and Joe Johnson, sources said. The combination of a third year on Deron Williams' deal – as well as the emergence of Walker as the franchise's point guard – leaves Charlotte uninterested in acquiring Williams, league sources said."

I dont want to lose a first round pick. I can't count on lopez he's injury prone

Depends on how long the protection on it lasts. I am also weary of giving up 1sts.

I can't envision a front line of Lopez and Al working but anything that moves on from Al I'm encouraged with. Assuming they are looking post Al here.

The FO's love of Kemba is very disappointing.

Monday is gonna be VERY interesting.

lance and 1st for JJ and lopez?

 

 

Either a first or Vonleh along with a host of other players to make salaries match. JJ and Lopez together is 38m in salary for the season and the Hornets would have to get close to make it work. It would have to include Jefferson to work, I've ran the numbers and only way to make the numbers work is for it to be

Stephenson, Henderson, Williams, MKG, Vonleh, Zeller for Lopez, Johnson and bogdanovic 

 

Jefferson would absolutely have to be part of the trade for it to work and make sense if JJ was part of the trade.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
