Per Woj,

 

 

 

The Nets have talked with Charlotte on the possibility of a deal for Stephenson, a Brooklyn native, and have been scouring the league for intel on Stephenson, sources told Yahoo. Charlotte has had a willingness to consider center taking Brook Lopez, whom they nearly signed to an offer sheet in 2012, in a trade, league sources said. The two teams have exchanged ideas, but Brooklyn has been mostly spending time trying to investigate the risks and rewards of possible scenarios with Stephenson.

The Hornets want Brook Lopez for Lance Stephenson. A deal is not imminent but Brooklyn has not closed the idea on the deal yet.

Possible Trade

Charlotte Receives: Lopez, Bogdonovic

Brooklyn Receives: Stephenson, Henderson, Biyombo, lottery protected 1st round pick

From Woj's story: "Charlotte has been open to discussing the Nets' big-salary stars as part of a broader Stephenson package, including Lopez and Joe Johnson, sources said. The combination of a third year on Deron Williams' deal – as well as the emergence of Walker as the franchise's point guard – leaves Charlotte uninterested in acquiring Williams, league sources said."

I dont want to lose a first round pick. I can't count on lopez he's injury prone

Depends on how long the protection on it lasts. I am also weary of giving up 1sts.

I can't envision a front line of Lopez and Al working but anything that moves on from Al I'm encouraged with. Assuming they are looking post Al here.

The FO's love of Kemba is very disappointing.

Monday is gonna be VERY interesting.

lance and 1st for JJ and lopez?

 

 

Either a first or Vonleh along with a host of other players to make salaries match. JJ and Lopez together is 38m in salary for the season and the Hornets would have to get close to make it work. It would have to include Jefferson to work, I've ran the numbers and only way to make the numbers work is for it to be

Stephenson, Henderson, Williams, MKG, Vonleh, Zeller for Lopez, Johnson and bogdanovic 

 

Jefferson would absolutely have to be part of the trade for it to work and make sense if JJ was part of the trade.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
