Rumor: Suns offer Robin Lopez for Ekpe Udoh and 11th pick

Lopez for the 11th pick. Certainly not for Udoh.

that might be interesting. Any picks for him would seem to be a waste.

he does come from an uptempo system, and his numbers look ok, esp in 09-10.
When you compare them this season Udoh has a lower Offensive rating (98: 105) and they have the same Defensive Rating (110). Robin has higher WS (.074: .032) . They even played similar minutes (991 for Lopez, 1030 Udoh). Robin shoots better from the field (efg% .501:.434) and from the line. Based on stats, this trade is a no brainer.

But, I still wouldn’t do this, especially with the 11th thrown in. If we swap picks, I’d consider it, but would still probably pass. Watching the game, Robin looks lost out there a lot while Epke looks more natural for lack of a better term. Ekpe looks like more of a basketball player than Robin

i dont understand why everyone is married with our draft picks. udoh was one of the worst 6th picks ever. up there with of GSW picks: ike, POB, foyle, pietrus, beans, dunnothing… the list goes on. we need to be drafting the BEST player available if that player fills a need then its a win win… but if that player only fills a defensive need well then its limited… players i would have taken over udoh: monroe, george, aminu, davis, patterson, bledsoe, henry, saunders, because personally 4-5 of those guys will be better then udoh

Zach Harper, Daily Dime Live: Some people are talking about him, but it doesn’t mean Jeremy Tyler isn’t THE sleeper pick in this draft. Two years ago, he was a couple of good life choices away from being a top prospect in this draft. Instead, he followed bad advice and stunted his own growth. The right NBA team could end up winning the draft with him.

Lopez for either Udoh or the 11th pick alone might be a fair deal, but actually I’m hoping the W’s can get a better player with the 11th pick, like one of the Thompsons or Valanciunas. I see no reason the Suns should get two things that are worth about as much as Robin Lopez for one Robin Lopez.

Lopez for the 11th pick straight up, keep Udoh as depth

16 percent of the fans on this site are either Suns fans or want the Warriors to fail.

I misread the trade. Not thinking, I read it as Robin Lopez + Suns pick at #11 for Udoh. And I still rejected it.

He isn’t worth both a number one pick and out number one pick from last year. Horrible trade for the Warriors

Why on earth would we give up our starting center, yes as of now Ekpe is our center until Management puts out an official Rotation. I’m sure that Robin Lopez might be good short term, (by short term I mean maybe first half of the season). But our management is looking to built a franchise, not just make the playoffs next year; but to be a contender for the title. They realize Ekpe and Jeremy Tyler are going to be the key for our center position. Also you have to realize that Ekpe Udoh showed a lot of promise and potential as one of the great shot blockers in the NBA. He needs time to adjust and solidify his mid-range jumper and post moves. Once he gets his foot work good, and learns how to use his talents; I have no doubt in my mind he’ll be a contender with Dwight Howard and Josh Smith for defensive player of the year award. (Given that Ekpe follows Dwight Howard and hits the weight room)
