Nets have accelerated trade talks for Brook Lopez

[Pugz]

The Brooklyn Nets have accelerated trade talks involving Brook Lopez and intend to move him soon.

The Nets are in talks with several teams with Lance Stephenson a viable option. Brooklyn is gathering intel on Stephenson.

The Charlotte Hornets tried to trade away Stephenson last month.

Why would the Hornets think Brook and Al could work as a pair?

Brook ain't ever gonna get the ball down in OKC, but definitely a game changing move if made. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I had heard the Lopez to OKC rumor a few days ago but didn't think much of it. This would be crazy if so.

Joe Johnson and Lance in the same line? Chuck city

 

[Pugz]

it'll be a learning curve for okc but that's a power move for sure.

 

[buzzy]

I wouldn't give up pn Lance yet. Especially if all you get is Lamb and Jack.

As long as brook doesn't take lots of minutes from Adams then this is great

You're joking, right?

 

[Pugz]

As long as brook doesn't take lots of minutes from Adams then this is great

considering brook is two tiers above adams that would be foolish.

 

[.infamous]

But brook is always hurt. And I think Adams is only gonna get better. Dude has gotten much better

 

[dez]

I agree with inf
Split the minutes cause brook don't play D

 

[Pugz]

brook isn't a bad defender. he's not a good rebounder. he's way better offensively.

 

[Pugz]

adams can only get better but he's not making that team better than brook would right now.

11:48am: The Nets and Wolves have spoken about Young in recent weeks and the talks have included discussion about three-way deals that would deliver Young to Brooklyn, reports Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com (on Twitter).

11:37am: The Nets would have strong interest in trying to flip Kendrick Perkins for Thaddeus Young if they acquire Perkins in a Brook Lopez deal with the Thunder, sources tell Marc Stein of ESPN.com (Twitter links). The Timberwolves are willing to part with Young as they rebuild, Stein adds. The Nets and Thunder are reportedly making progress in talks that would send Lopez to Oklahoma City in exchange for Perkins, Jeremy Lamb and more.

League rules would prohibit Brooklyn from aggregating Perkins salary in a subsequent swap at any point through the trade deadline, but the Nets could send him out by himself. Perkins salary of more than $9.654MM this season would be within the matching bounds in a one-for-one exchange for Young, who makes nearly $9.414MM this year.
