Buyout Bigs

Rumor has it the Brooke Lopez might get bought out. Between him and Monroe I’d much rather Lopez. Taller, better shooter, even defender. Spaces the floor and covers for Rondo
Also with AD on the floor it covers his lack of rim protecting and rebounding.
I say let’s get BroLo

Better chance of landing monroe. Hometown.

I’d take Lopez over Monroe, but I wouldn’t risk losing Monroe waiting for Lopez to be bought out.

If Lopez does get bought out, Lopez probably picks Boston first and Boston probably picks Lopez first leaving you with Monroe anyway. Going after Monroe early probably gives you a leg up on Boston if Lopez doesn't get bought out, and it gives you a little more time to gel heading into the playoffs.

1. He is a terrible rebounder
2. He is a terrible defender
3. His shooting has been terrible this season.
There is a reason why he hasn't been playing

He’s on a terrible team.
We don’t need him to be a good rebounder. We have AD.
We don’t need him to be a great defender we have AD. Also Monroe isn’t a great defender.
He’s a good shooter. Small sample size.

Monroe is younger and has a better injury history. He's also played alot better this year than lopez.

Lopez would be a solid addition if he is bought out
his personal rebound #s are mediocre, but his teams over the last several years have consistently rebounded better with him on the court than off. similar to effect RoLo has had on his teams
he's been a 20ppg scorer his entire career. 3P shooting may have been a mirage last year, but the guy can score in the NBA. LA is a clusterfrick right now. fair to wonder how he fits in Gentry/Finch system. but if you bring him off the bench, he can anchor 2nd unit offenses

You are from this area.
Your team is not tanking.
You have just beat your former team while being best scorer.
Are You sure Brook/LA agree for a buyout?
I dont.
Buyout usually happens after trade deadline.
Pels probably wont wait so long.

I'm looking for a hustle big right now. A Steven Adams, Capella type that will bring D and boards and help keep possessions alive. Because right now, apart from another creator, that's what we need really bad right now (also hard to get another creator in the big spot)
Ironically Asik did that for us in bits and pieces when we could afford to use him. After Diallo's showing in OKC, I hope Gentry looks to use him in a similar way to how he used Asik. Look to give him 10-15 a night with teams that use hustle bigs/bangers off the bench instead of small ball. Minnesota is actually a good chance for him to get some burn if he plays against Taj Gibson and Dieng.
He's still essentially a rookie, but hopefully he gets a LITTLE better at not fouling. Honestly if he can stop doing that, I'll take him over Dante any time teams aren't playing small ball, because he doesn't really do enough on offence to negate the lack of defense and rebounding. In fact Diallo could probably score more if you gave him Dante's minutes (and he doesn't foul out in the first 5).
The other thing is, we'll need another guy to help box out and board to spell AD a bit, even when he's on the court. I saw the OKC game where AD was getting shoved around by Adams (he flopped quite alot but the issue remains). AD is already exhuasted, and with the team lacking any rebounding they NEED to find time for Diallo, or another big they pickup, because Mirotic won't do any of those things.
