The Hornets can probably get him if they just trade Aminu for him.
Either way, Lopez or not, the Hornets need to find a true center so they can handle Asik when he comes to town :D

I hope they can land Lopez...I think it will allow Davis to develop quicker, the more he plays at the 4.
Never has $7 million/year come up other than this thread where one guy said it then everyone just started parroting it.
Lopez peeps said that they thought he could retrieve aboout 7 million on the open market !
The Market has pretty much dried up. He's not getting anywhere near 7 mil in the open market.
John Gambadoro @Gambo620
@TheCatLockwood I dont see it happening, NO not offering much at all
Man, you guys are really desperate thinking we need a C so bad. Lopez is pretty bad. Seriously, have any of you actually watched him play? He's not good no matter how you try to spin it. Plus he's a headcase.
If Jason Smith is worth $2.5 million, then Lopez is maybe worth a $1 million. I know, I know, market for big men, 7 footers, blah blah. Whatever. Just because Morey is a moron and pays Asik like he's half decent doesn't mean we should blow $4-5 million on a mediocre talent.
NBA GMs are dumb. If we could find a productive guy like Smith at his price tag, we can find another. I'd rather not have a center at all than pay Lopez more than $2 million because the bottom line is the dude is not very good.
BroLo and RoLo.....eeeeeehhhhhh not so good.

Woj twitter: hornets, suns an wolves are nearing a 3 team trade that would send robin Lopez to the hornets in a sign an trade
I'm so happy!!!!!!
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Hornets, Suns, Wolves are nearing agreement on a 3-way deal that would send Robin Lopez to the Hornets in a sign-and-trade, sources tell Y!
Nice... hope we don't dish out too much for him... or overpay
Lopez may have an opinion of his value that may need recalibration. Since all 3 parties have to agree here, he seems to be sticking point given our needs and their needs.
I hope we aren't giving up too much...
RoLo for Rolo's? Fair Trade

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.
Dang Warrick too? Who will we be sending??
Wait, what are the Hornets sending then? lol
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....
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.
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.
