For whatever reason, he has not been the player he either was in Utah, or the guy the Nets incorrectly thought he would be. His reputation puts him in the top 5 point guards in the NBA.. His play, a tad below that. Was he over-rated to begin with, or is something wrong with him physically? I don't know, but he is the key to this team this year, and he is failing against all the top point guards in the league.

And as far as the Nets making the right call not trading Lopez for Howard, I don't think that accurately tells the real story. I think Brook Lopez has made this the best trade the Nets NEVER made, but it wasn't as much their call, as the Magic and Howard making the deal impossible.

Hell, they could use Bernard King now.
