So...

My dad just busted his ACL/MCL while skiing a week ago, and is in getting it treated. He got referred to the guy who is supposedly the numero uno orthopedic specialist in the area. Surprisingly, not the clinic that does most of the work for the Blazers. Apparently the guy said that particular clinic (goes by the name of Rebound) is a joke and there's a chance Greg Oden and Brandon Roy would both be playing right now if they didn't suck at their job.

Looks like the trade is official.

Pick will most likely be a lottery pick given how bad the Nets are.

Humphries, Wallace, and D-Will isn't a bad 3some.

Lopez has averaged less than 6 rpg the last 2 seasons. That's pretty f-ing pathetic, especially for a 7' center getting 35 mpg.

He's a decent scorer.

Last season you mean? He's only played 5 games this season so I wouldn't refer to that as two seasons. He's averaging 7.5 rebs on his career and he's better than a decent scorer. Guy averages like 20 points on 50%. He's only 23 years old. I'd definitely take him over Humphries and Wallace without hesitating. Also, part of the reason he doesn't collect as many boards is because he takes a lot of jumpers. He's the size of a center but he plays like a power forward. If they got a real center, he'd move to power forward. Amare is an an inch shorter and 5lbs less playing power forward and he can't even shoot. Lopez isn't supposed to be a center imo.

50% is average for a center. Who cares if he averages 7.5 rpg for his career, that's still not good, and that's not what he's done in recent history.

Per 36 minutes:
Hump - 14 and 11 at .543 TS%, and 13 and 14 at .555 last year.

Lopez - 21 and 6 at .549 last year

They basically score with the same efficiency. Lopez can score a little more, but Hump can more than double Lopez's rebounding productivity.

And Lopez is a 5, IMO. He may be only slightly bigger than Amare, but their styles of play are vastly different.

What a mess this franchise is. I think the hometown support is officially gone until Allen sells the franchise. It's officially a train wreck at this point.
