The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to terms with restricted free agent center Brook Lopez on a four-year, $60 million max contract, a league source confirmed to ESPN NewYork.com.
This effectively ends Brooklyn's pursuit of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, since Lopez can't be traded until Jan. 15 once he signs the contract, per rules of the collective bargaining agreement.
Nets general manager Billy King was in Los Angeles negotiating with Lopez's agent, Arn Tellem, on Wednesday.
Lopez, 24, played just five games last season because of foot and ankle injuries. He owns career averages of 17.4 points and 7.5 rebounds in 251 career contests over five seasons -- all with the Nets.
They'll be a playoff team, 6-7 seed. For good teams they'll be easy to score on inside the paint, but they'll blow bad teams out.
All we need is another cheap shooter to open shit up and we're ready to roll.

THAT was there fuck up, oh, and giving Hibbert max money. Should have tried to get Kaman for a lot less.
