Brook Lopez - BKN - C

Brook's fantasy value will prob be about the same. Zubac assassinated for the year. Russell should continue to grow. Lin might be negatively affected but he's always hurt anyway. Mozgov might have sneaky value in deeper leagues.

What's your opinion about his trade with D' Angelo Russell? Both will be benefited from this trade?

what do think his shut down potential is? my playoffs start next week (I have a bye). Should I trade him now? should I wait until semi-finals week?

My playoffs start next week, given the info we know now (or lack of), would you add him to your weekly roster? Up for Yes, Down for No. Unfortunately, Zeller is my only other option.

The Nets typically all worry me, but I'm inclined to think Booker should get a small bump here

Hamilton has been stsrting when Lopez misses games this year, but is averaging just 22 minutes per start. The Nets don't really give anybody outside of Lopez decent minutes

Even if Lopez were to get shut down this season, there's a good chance that Hamilton, Acy, and Nicholson would just split the minutes the rest of the way, limiting all of their value to deep leagues.

Who would benefit if he is indeed shut down ? How many minutes for Hamilton, Acy ?

im so close to winning...y u do dis???

'shut down' - josh's two favourite words.

Agree. Now that it's almost playoffs for most leagues, more details would help.

If it was just rest wouldn't they just say that? My concern is that this might be the beginning of a shut down.

Watched the game last night, he played the whole game out, to the last possession, its prolly a rest day.

should feel lucky no word of shutdown so far knock on wood...not as bad as joker's mysterious flu

Where did this come from? You think sprained ankle is also known as 'rest' ?

any situation where he's on a playoff team would be +'ve to decrease shutdown chances would be good - I'd swap lower stats for that as I'm in a daily H2H that goes to the last day of season

What kind of situation might work fine for Brook's fantasy value in case he's being dealt?

If you don't need threes trading Brook for Turner isn't really a buy low. Turner has more value imo

or wait until trade deadline to see if Brook gets moved?

would it be enough value to trade him for Myles Turner right now? need pts, reb, and BLK and don't really need Brook's 3's.

#50952 -- I trust them both. Brook may get traded and could see his value change. And if the Sixers get healthy or make some trades, Covington could end up with a smaller role. But in general, there's no reason not to trust both players' production.

Wondering what the room think of Brook (UP) or Covington (DOWN)?

@cadavi +1

if i can't move him after a line like this might as well just stick with him and roll the dice for a non-shutdown

Brook for sure. I'd argue that Embiid has a higher chance of shutdown. Philly will be looking for excuses to shutdown Embiid and any Ws late in the season could hurt their pick. The Nets actually don't have as much motivation as usual to shutdown Brook. They've got the worst record in the league locked up.

Additional: Playoffs march 13 - apr 2

(UP) BroLo and/or afraid of Embiid health (Down) Embiid and/or afraid of Brook Lopez shutdown Punt points team 9 cat

Never been done before: http://bkref.com/tiny/uAKHc

6 triples an 8 blocks...absolutely insane.

same here, nobody will give fair value for him

having a harder time than i thought trying to trade BroLo, I'm punt REB and BLK now and wanna move him on, whats the types of trades people have seen this year with him?

12 team H2H, 7 cat Lopez (UP) or Porter Jr. (DOWN)

Are the chances still pretty high that Brolo gets shut down at some point after the break?

brolo (up) or KP (down?

I don't think a trade would be possible unless the nets are willing to take back Asik. Only way to make salaries match. Already we have run into a major holdup in the viability of this trade

who stands to benefit the most on the roster (assuming they dont get a center back in return)?

And the vast majority of trades that happen, we never hear about, the vast majority of rumours we hear about, never happen

We are going to start hearing of a ton of rumors in the coming days

now there are talks of lopez going to Pelicans.

Punting 3's (14 teams, h2h, 9cat) so I'm trading him. Brook (UP) for Aldridge & Tyreke (Down)?

Green means owned by your team, yellow means owned by another team in your league

What does the yellow, gold and green colored card next to the player name in depth chart represents? Thanks.

god, if they just trade this man then all will be well.

lol i know it is terrible, i am trying to find a way to trade brook without taking too much of a loss. i posted a forum topic if anyone cares to look at my team, brook is a pretty big part of my team tbh

The last time I was in a league where the championship ran until the last day of the season. The MVP of championship week ended up being Walter Herrmann

I think commish has already said something about changing it next year, same thing happened in football this year. Would a lopez for griffin swap be bad?

Yes, and I recommend to try to get your finals changed next season and or find another league. No good reason for a H2H league to play until the last day of the season. Titles get decided by back ups, no names, and or which team has the least key players rested for no legit reason.

finals week is Mar. 27-Apr 12 for my league i am in first place, should i look to move him in case of a shut down?

I don't think so. They just rested him two games back on Sunday.

Good chance he rests tomorrow?

Shut down / injury perception with Brolo makes it so tough to get fair value in a trade. Very frustrating!

About 2 weeks ago I traded my Jokic for B Lopez. BroLo was performing / projected as a 2nd rounder, Jokic as a fourth. Do I hate myself now? Yes.

who to target w my build? i can think of Gasol, Millsap, Turner for bigs stats?

@cadavi - that's brutal, that needs to be changed next year. don't allow that crap. In your case, you may well not have Lopez for the final week. @27156 I don't think you've got anything to worry about at all

Week of 3/6 is the last week of our reg season Josh.

I'm in same boat - my league finishes literally the last day of the regular season. and i'm punting FG% and TO. thanks.

What date does your season finish?

Josh, my league's playoffs start on wk21. Are you suggesting to keep BroLo? If not, any recommended target to trade for? I need to keep big man stats.

He's played in both parts of the last two back to backs. I expect him to him to play

Will he be playing tomorrow or is the rest on B2B only for when both games are on the road? Sorry cant remember.

I don't think there is any way they just stop playing a healthy player with a month to go in the season. He missed the last six games last season

I wouldn't rule out a trade, he may retain value if he lands a starting job on another competitive team.

March 19-25th for me. When do you think he will shutdown

When are you league playoffs ending?

I'm concerned of a Lopez shutdown. Who's a potential trade candidate I can shoot for in a Lopez sell high scenario?

charlie_brown102 -- In a general sense, I would think that any team that trades for Lopez is planning on him being a big part of their team, so I'd (generally) expect a trade to help his value some (especially since minutes limitations and b2b missed games might not be a thing anymore). With that said, it will depend on where he would get traded to and how they'd use him.

How does a trade affect Brook Lopez's fantasy value? UP: Increases, Down: Decreases

The only thing with Brook is that Marks has a history of doing it. He shut him and Thad Young down for the last 6 games of last season with no injury. Hopefully, though, your fantasy season is over by then

Brooklyn doesn't own their pick since Boston can swap for it, so they do not have shut down incentives like other bad teams.

Thoughts on Lopez as a shut down candidate? Seems like it would make sense since BKN inevitably will be at the bottom + Brolos injury history. I have a big opportunity to trade for a package involving either him or Klay...but I also worry about rest days for GSW...

Both he and Thad Young didn't play the last six games of last season, but jbs is right, your league hopefully doesn't go that far, so any late season rest shouldn't affect you.

Only time he missed games last 2 years was really for rest. He's been as durable as anyone during that time. I assume you are in H2H which is why you are asking, but your league/leagues shouldn't be playing into April anyways. Not really worried about him missing key games. Sure, he could rest 1 or so when it matters...but that can be said for a lot of players. FWIW I would rather have him over Klay.

I could see them shutting him down if they had their draft pick or a young C to develop, but they don't have either. Did they shut him down last year? I don't remember.

thanks for the tip. I do have custom projections, but the issue is that when other people in your league also use monster, those custom projections don't hold as much water. I see that he did get bumped up in 3s so maybe I'm not so crazy...

Whats the issue? 1.4 3s/g has him as the top centre in the league for 3pm. If you think he can go higher then like Peter Porker said throw it in a custom projection, the site makes it reaaaaaal easy to do.

This site allows you to put in your own custom projections. I've used it often in the past. I suggest you do the same.

lbjames, the point is i shouldn't have to ignore the projections. they should be adjusted to reflect what is going on. right now, he looks to be shooting 3s and there is no reason to believe he won't continue. my issue is w/ monster making seemingly random choices about when to buy into current season trends that differ from historical performance

The projections are just an educated guess based on Brook's career. He's never shot or made this many three's, so it's anyone's guess whether he maintains it or drops off in that department. If you believe he continues the three's production, then ignore the projection and expect his rank to pull towards his per-36 numbers as his minutes increase.

As long as he stayed in BKN (and doesn't get hurt), I'd expect big things when he plays, but have to think hes a big trade candidate at the deadline, right?

how is this projection continuing to go down? he is healthy w/ room for increased minutes, number 1 option so higher pts/36 is sustainable, his current blk/36 is in line w/ last year but it's projected lower. i also don't see how the 3s/36 isn't sustainable if he's committed to shooting them. bump 3s, pts, and blks please

Just does not get within 22 feet of the basket on the offensive end. It's remarkable.

He looks really good, wish you played every night buddy

He essentially doesn't take that mid-range jumper anymore. It's either a drive/move towards the basket, or a 3. I think given that his fg% can actually stay closer to 50% than I thought, and he should clear 1.0 3PM. Rebs likely dip, but given a 3 is worth more than a rebound, his value should still say comfortably in a the top 30.

Is this a Sell High moment for BroLo? If so, who wold you target?

Was offered Lopez for Dieng. The point bump is huge, but what about Brook's lack of blocks so far?

is he for real? he's hitting those 3. 4/5! O_O

He's still good

Would you trade Derrick Favors for Brook?

would you trade B.Lopez + P.Goerge -----> K.Thompson + D.Cousins ?

definitely not gonna be top 25 like last year, but no way he plays like this ROS. terrible luck for owners first week but just gotta wait it out if you can afford to. I think he'll settle into top 40-50 eventually. cross your fingers for a trade

what's a decent probable "floor" for Brook--Top 50? just trying to gauge what to offer for a low ball offer

Exactly, this was a blowout thing, not a rest, restriction thing. Game was over so early. Lopez's minutes and touches are going up steadily

Brook was actually supposed to play a regular amount of minutes tonight. He played 16 in the first half but the game turned into a blowout. I still don't like Atkinsons rotations, but I really think now is the perfect time to try to trade for Brook

Kenny Atkinson is making a good case right now to overtake Jason Kidd, right Josh?

50 rebounds available in the half. Brook plays 16 minutes and gets not a single one. Too frustrating for me. And Atkinson doesn't like him. I'd dump him for any of those guys.

I would take Brook

Pau or Brook in 9 cat roto? I think Brook should be better and kind of want to sell Pau after his positive game (without LMA) yesterday.

They have similar value, but I would rather have Jokic's upside. In giving up Lopez, though, you're giving up the better points and blocks numbers for more rebounds and assists. Lopez shouldn't be stuck playing such a limited role all season, so it's important not to overreact if he fits the needs of your team.

I could potentially do a swap for Jokic. Pull the trigger?

@kewentian, it obviously depends on your team build. But in a vacuum, I'd pull the trigger on either deal.

I have the option of swapping Brook for either Deandre Jordan or Kevin Love. Are either of them worth it?

Sit Lopez, lose by 2, the nets!

During the broadcast today they said Brook is just being rested to start the year and will have regular minutes soon. They plan on resting and limiting minutes to different players at different parts of the season and the player given time off will rotate. Now is probably a good buy low opportunity

Only logic is that BRK wants to preserve his health for a trade. Good chance he's moved at this point.

TimberBall -- I wouldn't settle for Winslow right now, but I would take Wiggins back in a Lopez trade.

I'd probably wait a little while longer @TimberBall. While I don't think Brook will have a great season, there will probably be a time that his value is higher than right now. But trading Brook in a punt FT% build is a no brainer goal for you this season.

Got him a 14 team H2H 11cat league and don't want to deal with this crap all season, luckily I'm already 'Big' heavy with Drummond, Gobert, Capela and Porzingis (punt FT build). Wondering if it's worth throwing a Winslow or Wiggins trade out there. I'll drop in value but at least I'll get some consistency.

This article gives some explanation of the situation, but there aren't specifics on the team's plan. http://nypost.com/2016/10/29/nets-brook-lopez-plan-comes-into-focus-with-game-off/

Is it going to be all season long? And any thought on BKN trade him soon?

Rest day in the first week of the season? Coach Kenny wtf man...

Planning to sit out all b2bs without any known injury? No picks so no point in tanking & no point in saving him for late in season. Are we missing something? Or is this BKN's version of "trust the process"?

What a nightmare... likely to ruin fantasy seasons.

drafted brolo and RHJ...gonna be a long year

Why is he sitting already, 5 minutes in? About to slam on the panic button.

Is this a buy low moment? Or would it be wiser to stay away?

I'm looking at next rotation at the moment. It won't be 33/15, but I also dont think Lopez gets just 21

How do you see the minutes split next game? Lopez is at 33 min and Hamilton is at 15...

what kind of a sense makes it to limit your franchise player in his prime years? I don't belive Lopez agrees with such a "small" role for long befor asking for a trade. One game is to small of a sample size and reports are not always 100% true.

Hamilton has to be an add here, right?

oh boy

Oh man... already having draft regret. Not what you want from a high pick.

What's the point? It's not like the Nets are competing for the playoffs.

http://nypost.com/2016/10/27/why-kenny-atkinson-already-is-limiting-brook-lopezs-minutes/ He's on a "pitch count"

Nets had an offense tonight I didn't expect. They didn't put much effort into getting Lin or Lopez involved at all. A lot of motion, and a lot of passing. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Bogdanovic led the team in scoring come season end based on what I saw tonight. They just didn't look like they had any identity close to what I thought it would be.

Per the nets broadcast they said they will be monotoring his minutes to keep him healthy early in the year. But 20 minutes is inexplicable

Argh, not a good sign/start...

Atkinson definite clubhouse leader for WTF are you doing. Scola was getting torched early on

Wow. Well that is not very intelligent of him.

Kenny Atkinson said he felt Scola was a better matchup against the Celtics. I think we may have found a coach to pick on this year

Reading he just checked back in. Weird that Scola started the second half.

Any cause for concern here?

played 12 first half minutes and didn't start the second half

He did takes threes last preseason but it never translated, but I feel more confident this season that he will begin shooting them in the rgular season with a new coach in town.

Now up to 11 3PA in 86 pre-season minutes. Not sure if he's just fooling around with this, or if it's a real weapon. Seems like his fg% dips below 50 (as projected below), but 3PM approaches the 0.7-1.0 range (also as shown below). Interesting development.

Was taking 3-pointers (1/3) in preseason last night.
