Suns fans seem to think Lopez is worth Henry + a 1st round pick, maybe even Brad Miller.


I love how every team overvalues their own players.

For a guy that averaged 5 points and 3 boards last season?

lol, some quotes from their board:

On Henry:
quote:

Decent three point shooter?? 40% is great!! yes please hot damn all aboard the professor x train. There isn't much else the hornets could offer, and it looks bad for Xavier in New Orleans with Gordon/Vasquez and now Rivers too.


quote:

What the hell? First, the Hornets said we didn't have anything they wanted. Now they suddenly want Robin Lopez? Should have taken him (and other assets) in a trade for disgruntled guard Eric Gordon. Of course now, they can't trade him here. Stupid team. Do they have any draft picks they can trade? Maybe we could do a 3-way trade with another team involved?

I'd be shocked if the Suns make a deal with us after we matched Gordon. We wouldn't even talk to them about doing a sign and trade for him.

I'll reserve judgement until I see the contract. I have bad a feeling we will have to overpay for him.

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.

If we were going to overpay for him we wouldn't be trying to S&T him.

We just signed the rookies, so getting Carl to them or anyone would be harder.

This seems like a tough deal to get done.

Smith compares to Lopez how when considering the contract and likely-higher contract?

Could Phoenix use Henry?

Ha, watch them try and drive Lopez's price up to return the favor from Gordon. We'll wait the three days to return the favor, but not match, and let them over pay for a seven footer, who can't jump anymore.

I'd take Henry in a heartbeat. A lot of individuals have forgotten about him but he's still really young and was a great prospect coming out of Kansas. As mentioned earlier, he is a good shooter at 40% from 3 and he has good size at 6'6" 210. He's still on his rookie deal if I can recall correctly...I don't see why he cannot at least become a Brandon Rush type of player in 1-2 years.
