quote:

Nets president Billy King and Lopez’s agent, Arn Tellem, are finalizing the length of the deal — four years for $58 million, or five years for $78 million — and ironing out protections on the back end to account for a right foot that Lopez broke twice in the past year, sources said.

has any player ever rode the hype wave further? when he was at stanford, i was a big fan, thought he would be a great big man and building block for a championship level team. but 4 years later, hes just not that guy. hes a nice player who gets hurt too much. cant believe hes about he get near max money
quote:

Here’s the rub: Once Lopez re-signs, he can’t be traded until December
i hope this doesnt happen. just want the dwight howard saga to end

Nice player but doesn't play defense and rebound at the level that a big man with his size and skill should to be getting paid that kind of money.

:smh:

I'd pay him, but I sure as frick wouldn't give him the only 5-year contract you have on the roster when you've got Deron Williams around and guards have a longer shelf life than big men.

They were saying on ESPN earlier that this a ploy to get the Magic to realize that the nets will move on if they have to

Worst contract?

Lopez - 5 years 78 million
Johnson - 5 years 98 million
Hibbert - 4 years 58 million

I think probably Lopez

Unreal. Lopez is a good offensive big and a good big overall, but this dude doesn't pull down enough boards to warrant that money. Stupid fricking Nets
