Whether or not a player 'starts' is irrelevant. Just like people focus way too much on positions. It's what he can contribute and how many minutes he gets. And here's the thing: none of us know any of that right now. Let's just sit back and let the season unfold.

So we are getting Robin for 15 mill over 3 years while Brooklyn is paying Brook 60 mill over 4 years...great job Demps.
I just find it hilarious this thread has somehow managed to bloat to thirty plus pages. Prior to this deal the Hornets have made no shortage of amazing off-season acquisitions/trades and people still feel the need to manufacture news/over analyze the tiniest of statistical anomalies. Even if this trade goes through I'm sure there will still be a steady stream of nonsensical threads arguing how we still lack X, Y, and Z -- scrutinizing Johnny McScrubo the fourth tier bench warmer and how his presence/absence will factor in an additional 0.426 wins to the team.
Everyone needs to take a deep breath and not post if there's nothing relevant or newsworthy to say.
Updated stories ... still some details being worked out:

The CBA states you can trade a player to a team that traded him away during that season, July 1 - June 30. I mentions no special rule for a situation like Brad's. If there is such a rule, fine. It does not affect us a lick.
The resources on this are imperfect. Does anyone have experience in this?
I also thought we couldn't aggregate his salary with that of another for 60 days, but that seems to be tossed out too if we are getting Warrick. There a few things here that are odd, and they may be misreported or 'wrinkles' involving Miller's contract.
We just don't have the means to send out Miller and Dyson separately and take back Warrick and Lopez's reported deal without aggreagation since Dyson's deal is small. Separate deals would have to 'work' on their own.
A rapid succession of nonsimultaneous deals don't create enough bandwidth.
I'm dying to see how this is worked out or if there's a missing piece.

Yeah...and we only have to pay 33 cents on every dollar that Brooklyn is paying. i know Brook is a better player but is he 10 mill more per year better...He doesn't even average 10 rebounds per game....If Demps keeps making moves like this, we really could be contending for the title in 2014.
Damn, Robin Lopez is actually a good free throw shooter for a big
