Would you trade Jefferson and Kanter for Brook Lopez?

Even though this trade looks unbalanced right now, knowing that Kanter is lacking the confidence to play his game under Ty's command, Nets could gain an unexpected advantage from it as Enes gathered himself up quickly. But it is a lose situation for Utah as long as Favors is not an offensive four. At the same time, Nets don't have the luxury to change a good defender center to a non defending one.
Didn't he recently sign a max extension? I'd offer Jefferson / Williams an filler as a way to relieve them of a huge cap burden for someone who has questionable health and may be an albatross. I have a hard time thinking anyone else would offer any more when considering that contract. The bottom line is that he'd be more valuable -- and valued -- to Brooklyn than to anyone else, so people won't be offering much.

nope
Shocked people would not be higher on a guy who is shooting 56 percent from the field and scoring 20 points per game. Seven rebounds a game is pretty rough for a guy his size but he seems to box out pretty well. He is also averaging 1.7 blocks a game.
The foot is an issue but I am confident they can get the bone healed up in time for next season.
I think Jazz would do this trade in a heartbeat I think its Brooklyn, that are a little desperate right now, that would not do this trade and would probably ask for draft pick(s)

Because Kanter wouldn't be playing? lol
I think the bigger issue is how big of a reward will you get for taking the $15M/yr risk for the next three years. I think it'd be fantastic to have a guy like him, but a questionable health history coupled with a large contract is a little steep for someone who's awesome but not that awesome.
foot injury from a big men? too risky especially for a max cat.
just too bad because he was still getting better and better. offensively i think he is the best at his position. added a little jump hook and up and under to his offensive repertoire. he also goes straight up to finish it without putting the ball on the floor which i like.
but man, that foot injury is a killer. twice in 3 years? no thanks.

This year does not matter for salary. Next year we won't need to resign anyone besides Hayward so unless we are going after a bunch of expensive free agents salary is not an issue next year.
Even the year after it will only hurt is if we want to sign Alex to a max deal which I dont see happening.
