All three front offices outsmarted themselves.
Great point and kind of what I was going to post in reply. It's crazy to say that having a 7' 255+ body like Lopez for depth doesn't change things much. If we just got last year's RL it already changes Monty's options on the floor pretty dramatically. I'm not over rating Lopez as a player, I'm correctly rating how important it is to have a body that can bang with certain Western Conference bigs.
Wherehappens.
Well, at the end of the week, the same ole issue may be in play. Backup center.
I just struggle with imagining this whole thing falling apart....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Love seeing other fans saying we are screwing them over!
When folks say Miller can't be traded does than mean back to Minnesota, which I already knew about, or that he can not be traded period after coming to the Hornets?
I think sending Henry out for a second to one od the 27 other teams fixes this. He and Dyson can be aggregated to get Warrick. Miller for Lopez works.
Any downstream issues there?
Will someone take Henry?

Don't think of this as a done deal but erroneous. Think of it as premature reporting by people who didn't understand the cap (none of us get it all). These are the dangers of reporting early. See also: Lakers trade.
If it's just two months and not Dec 15th, i don't know what the big deal is.
Give the paperwork to the league office and just say, "On the day this is allowed, which if two months away would be something like Sept 13th at the latest (I believe the Miller trade took place on July 13th, file it then." Then just act as though the trade has gone through. The end of Sept should be before the start of training camp, so what does it really matter if things don't happen until then? Kirilenko and the Wolves can do a handshake deal until then. Not the end of the world. No one is going to outbid for his services, lol.
Now if you can't do the trade until Dec then that is a totally different story.

I feel his upside is a solid backup SF. And give up on him or not, I think the Hornets are going to want the over $3 million in cap space after this season instead of picking up his option. I just don't think he's going to be a part of the long term plans, so he should not stop of from getting a 24 year old center.
This is the way the deal will probably go down:
Phx gives up: Lopez
Phx gets: 1st rounder, Wes Johnson, 2nd rounder, Brad Miller
Minny gives up: Wes Johnson, 1st rounder
Minny gets: two 2nd rounders
NO gives up: 3 2nd rounders, Brad Miller
NO gets: Robin Lopez
Easy enough
