What if: Nets call asking our interest in Lopez

[SHAQATTACK]

Probably so.

Pretty much tanks them for next year .

I think if that's what it took to get Lopez I'd try to get a 3rd team involved and route Lopez there. Maybe Chicago would like to pair him with Rose? Or the Grizz want to get a bit younger and move Gasol to us? With some extra parts from usof course

If you can get Lopez for a package like that you either do it or route him to a 3rd team like the poster above said. Continuing to deplete the Nets roster should still be a priority.

I'd do it.

I'd go as far as to say that if the Brooklyn pick lands outside of the top 3, I'd use that instead of the Dallas and Boston first rounders along with anyone Brooklyn wants that is not named Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley, just to make it simple and more enticing for the Nets.

Dude is a 20 point scorer on any given night, and played a relatively healthy season, which gives enough optimism that he could stay healthy. I'd take him .

Say the Nets decide to really start over before the draft and call up Ainge and make the following offer:

Johnson, Jerekbo, Dallas, Boston

for

Lopez

Do you do it?  Boston doesn't really need the mid 1st rounders but would lose cap flexibility.  I suspect Brooklyn would keep all 4 players so they would get a lot of depth (though no one as good as Lopez), which may hurt our future picks (or it might not).  So is that a trade you make before the draft.

YES

I'd make it. I wouldn't have to love it
