Lopez is not starting, or rather, Anderson is not coming off of the bench.
That being said...
We've made some good additions
if everyone stays healthy...
playoffs?
I don't like Lopez as starting Center - I think he makes a nice reserve, and occasional spot starter against bigger teams (Lakers, whoever ends up with Howard). I think we could get away w/ starting Anderson and Davis against probably 25 of the 30 NBA teams.
Just was on the Suns blog and they just hate the changes in the trade with the extra cash going out the 2nd round pick. Here is a quote:
"The loser in this trade is Phx. Hornets lost nothing at all, while Min might lose a #1 to get rid of Johnson’s contract. We are paying NO 3mil and buying out Miller (0.8mil) as well as giving Min a #2 pick. NO gave away NOTHING at all, instead, they got a talent in Lopez while we give em money to pay Warrick (who they might turn into an asset later). This is yet another trade where we get bullied."
I LOVE IT!!!
I don't know, I don't like that philosophy, you want to make the other team try and adjust to you, not the other way around.
Just look at the Spurs.
That's why I'd play more of Anderson and Davis together.
Anderson spreading the floor will help Davis with his offensive skill.
I thought it was illegal to combine Miller's contract with Dyson's. Unless they did seperate transactions!
how much cap do we have next year including what will come off the books for rashard lewisand adding 5 mil in lopez
Anderson and Davis will get their playing time. This will not be an issue. They are our two best bigs. There are plenty of minutes to go around for Smith and Lopez as Both Davis and Anderson are very versatile in the position they can play.
Williams will have a field day trying to come up with combinations to make it work.
Don't rule out a line up of Anderson/Davis/Lopez where Davis guards the 3 on defense. The Lakers made Odom work by playing him at 3,4,5 and he was able to log 30+ minutes a night. I'm not saying that we would go to this line up but it's a possibility.

I think Anderson will guard opposing Centers. I love the 2 groups Davis/Anderson and JSmith/Lopez. Great combo of offense/defense.
Hornets player ages: Warrick 30, Smith 26, Vasquez 25, Lopez 24, Anderson 24, Gordon 23, Miller 22, Aminu 21, Henry 21, Rivers 19, Davis 19 = AVERAGE AGE OF ROSTER IS 23-YEARS OLD! Got to love it.
Lon Babby on Lopez: "Robin loved it in Phoenix but he made it clear he was really looking for an opportunity to be a starter."
