According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hornets, Suns and Wolves are "nearing agreement" on a three-team trade that would send Robin Lopez and Hakim Warrick to the Hornets, with Wes Johnson and a first-round pick going to the Suns.
No word yet on what the Wolves get out of the deal. It's a bit surprising that the Suns would sign-and-trade Lopez, who is a restricted FA, as they have no other true centers to backup up Marcin Gortat (as things stand, Channing Frye may be pressed into C duty). Details of the contract should emerge soon but it seems like a solid addition for New Orleans, who needed a legitimate center to start or at least backup Anthony Davis/Ryan Anderson. The move will also appease Eric Gordon, who recently lamented the Hornets' lack of "another big guy to guard the lane a little better."

The clue would probably be if we can name the white players on Phoenix or New Orleans and that's who will probably head to the Wolves...whitest team in the league! Haha

Good move for the hornets I guess? Lopez will be a nice added backup big for their youth movement?

Suns gonna regret  that move.   I think they will find Gortat may be considerably less effective without Nash spoon feeding him the ball.

I don't know about that. Gortat was very effective in orlando with extremely poor passing point guards.

Several league executives believe Minnesota is pursuing free agent Andrei Kirilenko. He's no longer considering Brooklyn, sources say.

Interesting!

Why? They can play. It's not as though he's filling his roster with Joe Wolf types.

A multi-team deal has emerged that could serve to clear cap space for Andrei Kirilenko to return to the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to a league source.
