My initial reaction would be that it's ideal to trade Tyreke, because:
1) We've had a hard time trying to find where he fits in on this team (he seems to have a role, but the previous coaching staff couldn't seem to find where it was. Maybe the new staff can?)
2) Keeping Gordon's expiring still gives us some flexibility for next off season.
Of course, this is ideal for me. Not sure how realistic it is.
excuse the ignorance, is it even possible to do an Asik sign and trade with the clippers? Would they want Asik to replace Jordan? Obviously we would have to give up more than Asik to match salaries, but is this even a possibility?

We really want to consider adding DJ to a team that is already basketball IQ challenged? No thanks.
the Legend has spoken!
Or Q-Pon or Cole. And that would be if the Clips wanted Asik, which I doubt Doc would. It just seems far less likely than another route, which are all somewhat unlikely on their own. Jordan would have to pick the Pels over probably 8-10 other teams that will offer him the same money plus the Clippers who will be able to offer slightly more
Another thing to consider - Gentry and DJ have a connection. How would you feel about Gentry if DJ's people told you that he would sign here if Gentry was your hire?
MM I feel that you've gone all fanboy since the Monty Williams left.
It's been relatively conservative type pickups or trade proposal articles you've given us for so long, now suddenly you're putting out ideas that sound crazy, some might say even unrealistic. But knowing the sources that you have....
If DJ was a target, option 3 would be far and away the top choice. Unfortunately, I don't think other teams see the same value for Tyreke Evans as you do. Regardless, it would be addition by subtraction and create cap room which is a win. The reimbursement would be a bonus. With all that said, as much as I like DJ as a player, I'm not sure he's the best fit here. He would be perfect for the Trailblazers, Cavs, Wizards and of course the Clippers. Unless of course Jrue Holiday could be a healthy 36+ MPG true point guard that he was brought over to be. That's a big 'if' though.

Trading Evans is the optimum choice.
Unless DJ is adamant about coming here I rather stand pat and try Durant next year.
1-6
I think we will definitely make a run at DJ. However I do not believe Dell can convince him to come play in NOLA. I think Dallas is the most likely landing spot with Jordan being from Houston and likely wanting to play in a larger market. There is also the no income tax thing to consider.
Not sure if that frees up anyone we can pursue (other than Chandler) as I am not sure of Dallas' cap situation.
Hypothetically, if Kevin Durant were to sign with us, would we use him mostly at the 3?
Clippers are over the cap, they can't receive a player in a sign and trade. Actually, same situation would apply to us as well.
I thought we had had enough of centres with no offensive game?
