Melo getting D Rose

[CusefanATL]

for Lopez Grant and Calderon

Wow

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Dwight Howard, come on down!

 

[two3zone]

The injuries killed his value. Wow

 

[Deano]

Dwight Howard, come on down!

lol...no way. He's too dang lazy and soooooooooo over paid.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Can't believe the Knicks got the bulls to take Lopez's contract. He's due 42 million over the next 3 years.

Great player who's best basketball has been robbed by injuries. I'm sure he'll be amazing for those 18 games he'll be healthy every year.

 

[Cusefan0307]

High reward, low risk deal for the Knicks. Even if he doesn't play well that money is cleared after this year. Lopez would have been on the books until 2019.

 

[orangefog]

He's got one year left on his contract, right? Not much to lose.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

this should be interesting. a ball dominant PG with Melo, what could go wrong

Lopez is actually useful

For a starting C? That's a good deal.

I hate this trade

Isn't Hornacek trying to play fast? If that's the case I didn't see how Lopez fit into future plans.

But with the league going smaller, it is hard to play Lopez and KP together. KP fits the model as a center in the league. Carmelo can go back to playing PF. And they can try to fill in with shooters at the SG and SF spots. It gets them closer to the current NBA model, if nothing else.

He's still an asset on that contract. And there's talk they're going after Dwight, Noah, or Gasol, who aren't exactly up tempo players.

If you want to move Lopez; fine. Not for a washed up Rose though.

Melo played pretty well alongside Iverson. Give him Iverson at Rose's age and they would've done damage in the playoffs.

Melo's getting older and showed last season that he's much more willing to defer to other capable players.

If they play their cards right, they will have TONS of money to offer a free agent after this year when the cap goes way up.

Lopez was just D and rebounds. Dwight gives you that, plus offense, plus more athleticism. Gasol and Noah aren't the most athletic guys, but Dwight can get up and down the court.

Howard at this point in his career might bring more headaches than production.

off the court stuff is a concern. But on the court, even a dip in his production would be an improvement over RoLo's production last season.

It could be interesting, but if his contract is more than a year or two, it reeks of desperation.

But not by a lot and you'd be paying Howard more than twice as much as Lopez made.

If the Knicks do play fast, though, Howard fits that style better.

If they get Howard, how are the minutes split up at the center position?

at $30 million a year thought?

Dwight isn't the player he was before.

Dwight Howard, come on down!

No thank you.
