I hear the Teague is playing well (whenever he gets on the court). Could possibly work out a deal that sends Deng and Teague for Gordon and Aminu?
Would anyone else be in for bringing Javale McGee to the Hornets? Maybe move Lopez to the nuggets for McGee. McGee is on a way better deal then anyone would have thought Hornets could have gotten him for. He is buried on depth chart and minutes with the emergence on Koufkos and Mozgov. McGee is being used less than I think Nuggets envisioned. Lopez gives the nuggets the ability to trade him on a very movable contract, not take his team option, or take his option for cheap and buy themselves another year. Hornets get McGee who I think compliments Davis as good as anyone. You can say he's a bonehead or whatever you want, but no doubt him and Davis in the future would be scary together.
Speaking of McGee, did anyone see this:

lmao
Why would the Nuggets want to dump McGee? I haven't paid attention to how he's done this season, they already resigned Lawson and should be in the drivers seat to keep Iggy with their ability to give a 5th year. A lot of people seem to think that Denver will have tax problems but they really don't, especially if they do something like flip Wilson Chandler for a draft pick.
That is funny, but his skill set next to Davis? Scary or not? That was pretty good handles for center over 7' if you ask me haha. He is still very young, most big men his age are just getting playing time.
Starters: PG- Bledsoe/Jennings/Walker/Teague?, SG- Rivers, SF- Deng/Chandler?, PF- AD, C- McGee.. 6th man Ryno.
Bench: Roberts, Henry, Miller, Ryno, Smith. That is a deadly and dangerous line-up.
They have to give IGGY a new Max deal, already have Lawson signed, eventually will have to open check book for Faried. For now they have Mozgov, Koufkos, and McGee, but will have to come up with $ to keep both of them. If they move McGee for Lopez now they aren't hindered by his 4 year guaranteed deal. They take on a Lopez with plenty of options to do with him. His contract is more moveable and gives you lots of flexibility. McGee has played well for them, but like I said Denver didn't envision him being buried in minutes by 2 other centers. Maybe they trade him revolving around a 3 team deal with Chandler and Lopez included. I would Love Chandler and McGee. If it was possible without giving up much.
Mackel gets his "info" from searching the internet. He is one of the laziest reporters around. It would not surprise me if his "birdie" is a message board or 247? He has no credibility.
Why the hate on Fletcher Mackel so much on this board ? I get not liking his work but to be insulting is kind of out of bounds.
Give me Luol Deng for Eric Gordon.
Nah, I just don't believe in personally attacking a guy that's not really here defending himself.
I heard many Gordon for Deng rumors, but tbh we should receive more then just deng, because lets be honest here Gordon is much better and younger then Deng and i think atm this is the best Luol Deng will ever be while Gordon could be a superstar.
You are not completely wrong. Maybe we go after Deng, Teague, & a 1st. Gordon and Rose could be deadly immediately. I would like to see us give Gordon time to boost his trade value and either get max in return or keep him as our own and watch him develop into superstar. He will be back soon and if he can show teams he is healthy with no structure damage just took it very cautious so he isn't the next Brandon Roy. Then Gordon is as movable as any young player in the league. We can hold out and get a Paul George once his value goes back up proving he can play. I know this all relies on health, but I have never heard he won't be back.
Gordon and Lopez for Deng and Noah
Baseless rumor... but Luol Deng in a Hornets jersey makes too much sense. We have a need for a 3 and they wanna get rid of him.
If we can get the right deal for Gordon, i'm happy
Imo Gordon is much better than Deng, (and younger) I mean he can actually carry an offense and be the #1 or 2 guy, you can run your offense through him. Deng is a guy you want as #3. Gordon can handle the ball, shoot, pass, great attacking the basket, P&R, our offense would be extremely balanced with him, Davis and Anderson. Wait to see if he can recover from this injury 1st because he would be worth it
He may not be Woj or Stein, but Fletcher is a fantastic personality. He has creative ideas, some outlandish, but that's the fun in them. He works for a local TV station, not a major outlet, so he's allowed to have fun and inspire debate, which is what he is doing. Ridiculous for bashing his whole character over not getting all of the trades right.
If they ever trade JSmooth, I'm out...and I don't care who it's for
Not sure if anyone did already, but I can confirm that the team has offered up Vasquez on at least one occasion.
Oh, and I trust Chris.
Just sayin!
The Bulls would be absolutely crazy to not pull the trigger on a Gordon for Deng swap. He would give Rose so much relief while playing alongside him. That would be a fun combo when healthy to watch. Deng also has his benefits for the Hornets, but no way we do it straight up. Once Gordon gets healthy and shows what he is capable of you will see his trade value rise right or near what it previously was.
You just dont trade a 23 yr old 2guard for what chris said his flying animal friends are chirping to him. if anything i think they keep the core of davis gordon, rivers and anderson and work the roster around them. i do believe we are going to go after Jennings but i dont believe he would sign back with the hornets.
I would take Deng for Gordon. A guy who plays as many games as possible for a guy who avoids as many games as possible? Where do I sign?
I have a big feeling Aminu would be on the out very soon, wouldnt be surprised if we give up our 1st round pick for someone big aswell like Jennings.
Jennings is the only player on that list that I would trade our 1st round pick for. I would not trade our pick for Deng
Somehow a lot of people think a trade for Jennings I posted is laughable which I think will happen just watch. Then when Gordon shows his worth just maybe we can get Paul George if not then Danny Granger and a 1st.
What is it about Jennings that's so good?
if we keep gordon i think jennings isnt a good fit, not enough ball for gordon jennings and rivers, rather a deng/granger type SF who doesnt need the ball to be effective offensively
I'd rather Kemba over Jennings
I can't recall the trade but I'm pretty willing to bet you can find it. I think he proposed what was a potential trade on the table awhile back but wouldn't list the hornets player who was being shopped because that person was part of the reg rotation. We all assumed different players but he never gave up the name. I'd be willing to bet that mystery player was GV. I just don't care enough to go back and search.

You guys TOTALLY disregard the way Monty coaches when coming up with this stuff... we NEED A SG AND A SF THAT SCORES OFF OF THE DRIBBLE... Monty does a TON of iso plays and what are two things that we've never had that held us back??? an SG and SF... Gordon for Deng would be great ONLY if we were able to get Mayo in the FA... Rivers won't take us to the promise land fellas, and we'll have to be geniuses in the draft... So yea, i could see Gordon for Deng and finding a way to possibly get Mayo in the FA, That'll upgrade those two positions immediately and let Rivers be the guy off the bench scoring for us along with RyNo
Vasquez/Roberts
Mayo/Rivers
Deng/Miller
AD/RyNo
Lopez/Smith
plus we'll use our lottery pick for somebody great who can come off of the bench
I don't see the bobcats parting with Kemba Walker without a lot in return. He fits the system in place for Bobcats new coach perfectly. Jennings will be way easier attainable and we have been rumored to him previously. I think with the right coaching, system, and players around him he could possibly develop into next Tony Parker next to Rivers. Possibly Move Gordon for a Paul George if not a Granger/Deng all very realistic. Maybe move Lopez for McGee if you don't like it or won't happen then no, but would be best defensive big men in the NBA. We still have a 1st rnd pick and could possibly add Nerlens Noel who so happened to wanna be just like Anthony Davis. That would be the best big man tandem maybe ever! Draft other big men if not possible. We shoulld do whatever possible to draft him whether that's moving up or losing enough games so we are a Lottery pick, not purposely.
Jennings/Bledsoe?, Rivers, George/Granger/Deng, Davis/Ryno!, Noel?!, Smith, Lopez, McGee?
Those are all very possible and would be serious championship contenders once developed.
Lopez for McGee I'd actually like, depends if Denver wants to shed salary. Would also be interested in one of their many SF's, perhaps toss them a 2014 first? IDK. Couldnt happen till after Shards deal comes off the books.
Jennings or bust.
Deng is not what we need at the SF... we can experiment w/ Anderson at the 3 on offense and Davis guarding 3's on D.
Perhaps that's why Aminu was moved into the starting lineup again and Vasquez has been playmaking more getting his stats up. A bit of an audition b/c this team can settle w/ having Rivers/Roberts backing up the PG spot once EG comes back.
