Latest Reggie Jax rumor from Woj: RJ to Nets for Brook Lopez

[jambr380]

I don't know what to think anymore. On paper, they have a very good team, but obviously injuries, age, and chemistry issues have made them a shell of their potential.

Assuming everybody is healthy (big if, I know), would they be better or worse with Jackson and Young instead of Lopez and KG? I know they kind-of suck now (and that bodes well for our pick), I am not sure if they will be better or really suck with those replacements.

Hasn't KG so far said he doesn't want to go back to Minnesota and would only consider a trade to a contender?  I don't know that he's going to change his mind in the next 4 hours.

Brooklyn could make some big moves this deadline.  Lopez for Reggie Jackson.  Kg for Thad young.  Could see them trading deron to the Kings of something.

Just not any moves that require.... (wait for it)... draft picks!

I don't think he makes them that much better but getting RJ for the corpse of Brooke Lopez is really disappointing as a C's fan...

You think Reggie Jackson really changes their outlook for the years we have their picks?

I think next year he will bring more wins to his team than Brook Lopez.

I'm skeptical.

He doesn't do anything that great. He doesn't get a ton of shots in the paint, doesn't score all the efficiently, isn't an amazing playmaker, and is shaky jump shoooter.

He's a good guard, but nothing special. He has talent and clearly can always improve or grow if given a bigger role. But with the Thunder this year he was straight chucking early and cost his team as many games as he "won" for them.

A good guard being traded for a limited big man (scoring specialist) seems to be a meh move for all around.

I think you can take some of his numbers with a grain of salt because he was trying to put up numbers to get a big contract and the Thunder barely run an offense.

He takes a lot of pull ups but maybe that is built into the Thunder's offense and how Brooks coaches it.

I am very biased because I love Reggie, but I think I'd rather have him than Brook Lopez who I don't think you can count on to play more than half the games in a season.

Talk about a 180 from yesterday. From hope to despair.

I'm not sure what OKC's fascination with Lopez is. But Brooklyn is probably going to have to max out RJ if this happens, so I don't think he'll end up being much cheaper than Lopez.

[mef730]

Gonna start a rumor that RJ deflated the ball to improve his shots, maybe hold up the trade just long enough.

Nah, no one would believe that...

Looks like Stein says "Hearing cautious optimism emanating from Minneapolis that Kevin Garnett is leaning toward waiving no-trade clause and returning to Minnesota".  So maybe he will.

You sleep in yesterday? Landing Dragic or Jackson. Both are huge upgrades over Bradley.

Can't Thaddeus Young opt out next year?

No... I just don't care for any of them.
