Brook Lopez breaks foot, needs surgery...

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So he's going to be out of trade talks for Dwight Howard, NJ is going to lose more games this year, and who knows what D.Will is going to do.

Wow that really sucks. I hope he recovers well. I like Brook, and wouldn't mind seeing him in a Jazz uni.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Yao says he will be out of the NBA in 4 years.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Yikes.

I think he'll be more durable than Yao (this is his first real injury). Regardless... this could be the difference between the plan the Nets have kamikazed themselves into and whether they sink or float.

 

[NUMBERICA]

How weird would it be if the Jazz big rotation eventually was Lopez, Favors, Kanter (and Millsap?)?

D Will might as well come back here.

Maybe the Jazz can't be good enough alone and the Nets can't be good enough alone, but together after the Nets gutted themselves after a bet went bad, maybe they can.

Howard will be a Laker. Deron will be a Mav.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Still, I think Lopez with Favors and Kanter would be a hell of a 3-headed monster. We'd still have to find the primary ball-handler on the pnr (what Brook does best, and also a play that I think is magnificent in the options you're given off of something simple), but maybe Hayward (and/or Burks) can be that player?

 

[Stifle Tower]

Howard will be a Laker. Deron will be a Mav.

Agree. And CP3 will also be a Laker in 2 years.

 

[MVP]

well that sucks. He never missed a game in NBA before. Hope he is not following big Z or Borchardt, Yao or other 7+ footers path.
