What's he supposed to say with Brook sitting next to him?

Rob is not going to throw a guy under the bus at his introductory press conference. Same way Mitch didn't throw Hibbert under the bus when we acquired him for the same purpose. |
everybody knew Hib was a sad sack coming in  I guess realistically Brook is a top 10 Center and he does stretch the floor, who else are we going to get next season anyway? |

Non-guaranteed, likely traded to team that wants to open up cap room. |

You must be thinking about his brother. This is Brook Lopez not Robin |
I am not sure that a plodding 7 footer who does not rebound and can't guard any perimeter players is of much use in today's NBA.
Sure he can score, but I feel he give up more on the other end.

| good to hear that Lopez already has been in the gym immediately working with young players (instead of kicking back like other max players) |

on Zubac:
~"I was impressed honestly. Saw a lot of potential in there. Great touch, great footwork around the rim, shoots the ball well. Good work ethic & regimen; sky's the limit" |

Every time Pelinka talks about Brook, just add "...for one season" at the end of his sentences. Kind of sad, already starting to like the guy.

If he wants to take a hometown discount, I'm sure the Lakers would have him back if there's money available. I have a feeling he's going to want to get paid on the open market, and we won't stop him from doing so. |

Depends if we get the 2nd guy. If we don't, they might keep him. They should make a run at Hayward or Blake this year, no guarantee you get 2 max FAs next year or even 1 max FA. |

Emplay asked the question. Lopez handled it very well and was quite funny. He seems like a very likable dude. |
