Nets president Billy King and Lopez’s agent, Arn Tellem, are finalizing the length of the deal – four years for $58 million, or five years for $78 million – and ironing out protections on the back end to account for a right foot that Lopez broke twice in the past year, sources said.

Y! Sources: As time's running out on a Howard deal for Brooklyn, Brook Lopez nears agreement on max contract with Nets.

Why are the Nets trying to lock him up long term? Who the hell are they even bidding against?

I think I'd rather have (a healthy) Brooke Lopez than Roy Hibbert.

When you can lock up a 7 foot Center that no one wants for max money you gotta do it.

You'd rather have a healthy Yao and TMac than Bynum and Scola. One is a pipedream and the other will soon be a reality.

Syphon Filter said:

Who else has showed interest in Lopez? Why are they starting the bidding at the highest amount possible?

Once the deal is done they have 48 hours to trade him or he stays on The Nets. Maybe it's a bit of an ultimatum, but they don't seem to have the leverage for a move like this to work. I hope they sign it tonight and ORL doesn't pull the trigger in the following 48 hours. They'd be stuck with max contract guy who is injury prone and who when healthy is above average.

What's the point of signing Brook to Max even if D12 doesn't go there. Seems utterly stupid.

They were going to give him the max either way. Apparently if you're a 7 foot Center who can average at least 10 pts a game you're worth the max in this league.

In other news it is now officially official Steve Nash is a Laker Welcome to LA!

Deron and JJ's max contracts were feeling lonely.

Mxrz · Jul 11, 2012

Might as well keep Howard and go all out for Paul next season too. Nothing still beats being tied to a $60mil Lopez. I like our odds of getting them both a bit more than getting anything decent at this point, and the result is practically the same either way.

Bayless to the grizz. No one wants mayo.

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Jul 11, 2012

I think calling Bropez injury-prone is a bit unfair, he never missed a game before this year. However, there hasn't been a season in his career where he showed he actually helped his team win games so the contract is unbelievably terrible because of that.

Was there anyone actually interested in the Nets garbage of free agents they were trying to trade? I swear no one knew they were free agents until word leaked they were still desperately trying to get D12.

Cavs and Cats....kinda. Cats wanted to dump a shit contract on someone in the process, Cavs operate on pure salt.

benjipwns · Jul 11, 2012

Prok should say fuck it, max out both Lopez and Humphries. Bump Wallace's deal up too.

Branduil · Jul 11, 2012

If Dwight is traded elsewhere the Nets are going to be locked into a core of Deron/Joe/Wallace/Hump?/Bropez for the next four years. That's a lot of money for an annual second-round exit at best.

thekad · Jul 11, 2012

Dwight/DWill/Joe would have been all but assured if the Nets didn't trade away their pick for Gerald Wallace.

Because it's LA. Nash needs a serious image rehabilitation if he hopes to fit in with that sinister, soul-sucking franchise.

giga · Jul 11, 2012

If Brook signs that contract, he can't be traded until December. Sounless Billy King sucks a mean cock that's not happening offseason.

Why are people saying Nash is going to have career highs in assists?
