[Official - trade complete] Hornets Trying to Land RFA Lopez from the Suns {merged}

DEMPS DO YOUR THING

What's funny is even if this deal comes to fruition you're still going to see people make posts saying: "WE NEED TO MAKE MORE MOVES!!!! WHY IS IT SO QUIET?!?!?! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!?!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW!"

Call me crazy but i would honestly rather Super Bowles over RoLo....

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Along with Lopez, Suns would send Hakim Warrick to Hornets. Minny would send Wesley Johnson and a 1st round pick to the Suns, sources say.

What are we giving up tho...

We gotta be sending someone good if Minny is sending a 1st or the suns are. Warrick's contract is ridiculous

Uh.... he's on the books at $4.5 million for another two years. Would cripple the team's ability to go after a near max player in 2013. No thanks.

warrick has 2 years on his contract left.

I don't get it.

Don't know what the Hornets are sending. I guess Woj is still getting details.

please DONT make it happen demps...

We might amnesty him....

We cant do that for a player we trade for. I'm not to sure but i think that clause is gone for hornets wasn't jack the last guy who could have been?

Well if they like him so be it. I hope it's because they really like him and not out of desperation.

I would hang up the phone the minute they added Warrick.

What makes you think that is something they even want to do?

True but the more i think about i don't think a bynum or howard would have came to New Orleans anyways to play on a rebuilding team so i won't question this move.

You also have to consider: where else is this team going to get a center in the next two or three years? Can it seriously compete for guys like Howard and Bynum? I doubt either would sign here as a free agent. Next tier you got a guy like Pekovic from the wolves. After that... don't really know off the top of my head.

Hopefully we are getting Wesley Johnson and not Warrick

Noooo my CP dream next year....

How do we know that adding Warrick isn't just for the salary so we can turn around and send him with something to get a player that fits our plans a little better. Based on the deals that Demps has been pulling off lately, I'll take his reason for doing things over overacting message board posters.

Because I think having that option > not having that option.
