Brook Lopez is garbo.

Brook gets such a bad rep for having a down year in rebounding, despite the fact that he had two solid rebounding years that are more than acceptable for a center with his offensive skill-set.

Brook is a legit 20 PPG scorer and I could see him getting to 23 PPG every now and again. So he's only going to give you 8.5 rebounds a game, so what? That will still put him in the top 20 in the league in rebounding more often than not.

Brook Lopez is not a legit 20 PPG scorer he just puts it up on a bad team...

I swear this argument has come up on this board before.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lopez's rebound rate has dropped drastically every year he's been in the NBA.

 

[Elite]

I don't see why someone with a post game as good as his who can also knock down the mid-range jumper with some success wouldn't put up those numbers on just about any team.

Jordan Farmar will be bought out by the Hawks for $1.5 million.

Farmar is expected to accept a a three-year, $10.5 million offer from Anadolu Efes, of Istanbul.

"For me, it's great,'' Farmar said of his offer from Efes.

see ya. wont miss ya.

JaVale McGee is negotiating with the Nuggets on a contract extension worth about $10 million per season.

 

[Elite]

I'd so much rather play 10 minutes a night in the NBA than play in a foreign country like Istanbul

The Clippers have discussed signing Bellinelli with their mini mid-level exception and various sign-and-trades with the Hornets, one of which involves small forward Ryan Gomes and a pick heading to New Orleans.

Didn't they sign Crawford?
