It is a known fact Its a crap shoot when drafting college kids into the NBA and the C's that are drafted normally takes 3-4 yrs to develope his game into the NBA, if at all he gets adjusted to the NBA! Robin Lopez is coming into his own by being a 2-4yr player in the NBA, and to trade him with the plan on drafting another C is just silly and will set the front Court back a few yrs waiting for the newly drafted C to develope. Then that same editor would write a article on Coach Monty should be fired due to the delayed progression of the team, all while pushing for a Tim Floyd hire or some other type of LSU/Louisiana connection hire!
Robin Lopez is a veteran space eating C who's gaining confidence! We don't need another young player added to an already young team who needs time to develope. Keep stocking up on young drafted players and well have a Wizards type team full if young knuckleheads that lack wisdom on being a PRO in&off the court. Every team needs veteran leadership, along with time to gel as a unite! Plus Lopez knows his role with this team with AD23, EG, Anderson, Rivers being the main options. Another highly drafted player who wants to launch his career by padding his stats will take away from the TEAM concept of Monty Williams. *See Sac Kings*
If traded, I'm only trading my "Center" for a young budding Star like a Jennings, matching NBA experiences of the players plus the value of Shot Blocking/Shot alterring Centers in the NBA.
(You don't just give a Center away for draft picks. History says that it's more likely for a Draft pick to be a Bust, then be successful in the NBA)
*not all trades are good trades, even if guys have maxed on their trade value! Somebody have to be the AC Green on a roster, not all can be Magic/Jordan
