So is anything from this deal official yet? I've heard various reports of who we actually received (other than Lopez) and what draft picks we gave up.
Also, did we shed Brad Miller in the deal as well?

Really good deal considering the deals most centers have signed this offseason.
His identical twin just signed a max deal. Many of the negatives about Lopez are mental/attitude issues so hopefully Monty can get more out of him.

I like this deal cause if Lopez doesn't pan out we can trade his contract pretty easily to a team that needs a big man

3/$15m is a good deal. Warrick's deal is about $4m per and expires in 2014. Both moveable contracts.
Yep. I actually dig the deal. Addressing needs and getting good value. I'm pretty fricking pumped about this upcoming season. More so than usual. I think we will be damn competitive. And we're young at most positions but they all have really good experience.

Agreed. $5m a season is about as good as we could get for a project big man with Lopez' potential upside.
Even if he just becomes a semi-competent backup, that's reasonable given the position he plays and he'd be tradeable as a result.
With Warrick, I'm less sure what to expect. The write-up I'm seeing on him puts him into the Tyrus Thomas / Stromile Swift / Anthony Randolph category, as he's very athletic and a good leaper but doesn't seem to put it together.
Maybe having a good coach will fix things. He's played for Mike Fratello, Tony Barone, Marc Iavaroni, Scott Skiles, Vinny Del Negro, and Alvin Gentry.
Monty may not be Phil Jackson, but he's better than Vinny Del fricking Negro and Scott Skiles.

Considering we were basically left for dead just about a year ago, what Demps has done to transform this roster is pretty remarkable.

Second time he's done it, too.
He turned over a lot of players during Chrissy's last season with the team in order to appease him.
Collison, Posey, Juju, Peja, Brackins, Thornton, and Songalia were all turned over in the course of a few months for Ariza, Marco, Jack, Smith, Willie Green, and Landry.

With Dyson gone I think this means tht my boy Brian Roberts is gonna make the team. I guess they saw something better in Roberts than Dyson so they got rid of Dyson.

Warrick isn't very good, but on this team he is the 3rd pf. I feel like he could slide over to the 3 some, but I could be just remembering his insane athleticism from his Cuse days.

3/15 is a steal imo

So this isn't official yet right?

Parts are still moving around, but the framework is in place AFAIK.
Phoenix wants Lopez and Warrick gone.
Minny wants to clear cap space to make a run at AK47 and is willing to flip players and/or send out picks to do it.
New Orleans wants Lopez.
Anything past that is not set in stone.

Everytime I hear Warrick I can't help but to think of this

Several links have already been posted showing Warrick has a team option next season (that almost certainly won't get picked up).

Do we have exact numbers on Lopez's contract? I saw 3 yrs/$15 mill being thrown around but didn't know if that was confirmed.
