| I would pass on all three but if we had to choose one, I would rather have Lopez. He's still young and showed that he can play when he's on the court. He also wouldn't hurt the tank because he'll probably miss some games this year. If he does get traded I would sit him out for the rest of the season and hope that he can be healthy next year. |

He has a player option for 2015 which he will pick up. That eats into any cap space.

I know, still would take Lopez over Williams and Johnson because of his age and upside. There are other players I would rather have like Jordan or Rondo, but I wouldn't mind Lopez for the right price. |

You also realize Lopez hasn't played over 100 games total in 3 years? Robin will probably have a better and longer career than Brook.

I do but it would be too good of a deal to pass up, he's a top 5 C when he's playing. Robin is nowhere near as talented as Brook. |

With Brook it's not about the talent. He simply cannot get healthy to play. That's why Robin will have a longer and better career. I'd avoid Brook. His career is on the verge of being jeopardy.

| Given our team's circumstances and the projected career's of these 3 players, you can't logically advocate for any of them. |

I'm guessing there trying to establish a new identity in Brooklyn that is why they want to start over... if you look at there record they are still good enough to be a playoff team in the East.
they are probably looking to see what they can fetch... it's the same reason why Pau was in the trading block for all those years when he was a Laker.... it's a business. |

| Wouldn't be surprised if the Russian owner is bored of owning a losing team and trying to sell....the economic sanctions are taking a hit on their assets so they need to generate cash somewhere. The Nets even in their diminished state would still make him a lot of money from the sale. |

Our target is simple and should be Lopez, hands down. Who cares if he's been injured early in his career, he's only 26 and hasn't even reached a prime state yet. If he can get to a place where he understands his body is his main asset to making it in this league and learn how to prevent injuries, he'll be a great player in this league. He's shown what he's capable of, no doubt.
I say we go after him and be willing to do close to whatever is possible. However this draft is pretty deep with big men so we should choose carefully. |

| He hasn't had a healthy season in the last 4 years, more than half of his career. |
