Hornets have worked hard on executing a sign-and-trade for Suns RFA center Robin Lopez, but deal hasn't come together, sources tell Y!

I like it if it comes together. Not the greatest, but could have done WAY worse.

I think he still has a chance to improve his game. He's a solid 7'er with decent skills/athleticism. I like.

Ehhhh...

I guess he's a young player with potential, so I'm ok with this move. Maybe Monty can make him a defensive stallwort or something.

Being a Stanford man I live this deal. Robin will provide good defense and boards. Not the best center in the world but I think coming to New Orleans will be good for him. Monty has the ability to get him to the next level IMO.

Apparently this isn't over yet.

Confirming a Yahoo! report from Tuesday morning, the Suns have been engaged in sign-and-trade negotiations with New Orleans regarding restricted free agent Robin Lopez. There has been no agreement but also no conclusion to the talks.

Am I missing something? What will we be giving up?

Assuming Lopez gets a modest deal (4 years, 20 mil), he's a potential 10/10 big (round about, using his per 40 stats). He'll get much more PT here, out of need alone, than he did in Phoenix.

Really nice deal for the Hornets.
