I want brook lopez on the celtics

[Hawkeye199]

 we need a big who can score and rebound. THESE ARE OUR TWO WEAKEST POINTS. Brook lopez fits the bill. He is the lone star with no hope and we hold the keys to their future. I would give them their 2017 and 2018 pick back. Along with david lee, tyler zeller, terry rosier and james young. What do you think?

(a) Lopez wouldn't help us on the defensive boards.

(b) I like Lopez as a traditional post-scorer, but he doesn't really fit with the rest of our roster or the way Brad has taught our guys to play.

You would give them back 2 of their 1sts? And 2 of our young guys? For a guy who can't even protect the rim? Are you a nets fan?

of course he is. Only a Net would trade any of those picks back to the Nets. We owe it to KG and PP not to trade any of the Nets picks.

You  really do not want to know what I think about this proposal, do you? How can you give up that haul for Brook Lopez? That is like giving up three lottery picks and two of our young players for an oft injured player.

You want Brook Lopez to take care of our rebounding? That's about as likely as Tony Allen taking care of our 3-pt shooting percentage.

Are you nuts?  U keep the 17 pick. Year of Thon Maker my friend.

No way u throw away a chance at Maker, zero..

I want Drummond

I want Drummond

On this Celts team I actually want a guy more like Marc Gasol or Al Horford.  A guy who can pass and score in a variety of ways.

And hit free throws.

Indeed, good point.  Somebody who can get to the line frequently AND hit free throws once he gets there.

We passed on Monroe FOR FREE last summer.

I take Monroe every day over Lopez. Better passer, stronger rebounder, runs the floor far better, 2 years younger, far more durable and over $2mil/year cheaper.

If we passed on Monroe, I can't see our interest in Lopez.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Monroe is a better rebounder, is younger, and has no injury concerns unlike Lopez.

I've been posting this hypothetical trade since last week.

Boston trades: David Lee, Jared Sullinger, their 1st this year, Dallas 1st
Boston gets: Greg Monroe

Milwaukee trades: Greg Monroe, Michael Carter Williams
Milwaukee gets: Brandon Knight, Markieff Morris

Phoenix trades: Brandon Knight, Markieff Morris
Phoenix gets: David Lee, Jared Sullinger, Michael Carter Williams, Bostons 1st, Dallas 1st

Pretty fair deal to me. Everyone gets what they want/need.

Probably why your posting here and not a GM, seriously the guy has bad feet.  I think it is a bad idea.

TP....interesting trade idea.....big fan of Monroe.....would love to have him.....doubt we pay for him now when we could've had him last summer.....I blame Stevens, but that's just conjecture.....he's not a big that stretches the floor.

My opinion is that if Stevens is that good a coach, he should be able to adapt his system to the talents of player like Monroe, rather than pass on that talent because he doesn't fit the system.
