Tyreke has verbally agreed  to sign the Pelicans offer sheet

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9448966/sources-tyreke-evans-wants-join-new-orleans-pelicans

if that happens, Lopez will have to go prly.....he might be a nice rebuilding/starting center??

11 pts and 5 rebs avg last year... better than a dude walking into door frames

There's a short list of suitors for Lopez trade discussions right now, and the Celtics aren't believed to be one of them. And it makes absolute sense. The Pelicans are looking to trade Lopez to open up cap space to sign Evans, but Boston isn't in a position to just eat $5M.

I wonder if we can pry Eric Gordon away from them now for Humphries expiring.

For all the flak Bynum receives for being "injury-prone", he's played in 62% of his games, not counting his rookie season. Eric Gordon has played in 63%.

Gordon is a huge injury risk, and considering he's still set to make nearly $45M over the next 3 years, I would want to stay as far away from him as possible.

you gotta take some chances to get ahead. Unlike Bynum, his knees are not completely shot. He has a fair chances to play a long and reasonably healthy career.

No you don't.  You don't take chances  on that type of contract when you're rebuilding.  His games played has went down each and every year in the league.  Plus he's owed just under 45 million for the next 3 years.

I'm all for taking risks. Gordon's is just way too excessive IMO.

here is my thinking:

1.pelicans go ahead and keep lopez...thinking they will trade him to make room for tyreke

2.We use our trade exception from Nets and a 2nd round or even a 1st round pick for Lopez

3. trade humphries, Bass, and a first rounder for a S/T Josh Smith...Atlanta only as one big(horford) and really hump and bass might play nicely with Horford

our roster:

Rondo/summerleague PG
Bradley/Brooks/Lee/Crawford
Green/wallace/Bogans
Josh Smith/Sully/olynyk
Lopez/Fab/Iverson


we will still have some first round picks and some tradeable pieces left like lee/bradley/brooks + if they develop Olynyk and Fab

Updating a previous item, Robin Lopez would be sent to the Blazers in the reported sign-and-trade deal involving Tyreke Evans.

Taking a risk on Gordon is like jumping off a cliff and hoping you live.  You'd be much better off taking a risk on Royce White and Greg Oden.  White is all team options after this year and Oden obviously isn't making over $5mil a year or so.

You do NOT want to touch Royce White.
