Would you trade Gordon to...

I'd do this trade all day...Give me Giannis and one of those other players? great!... though I doubt giannis will still me there at 17, but if he is I'd love the deal.

For example Giannis and Ruby Gobert for Gordon and we get an additional 10-12 million on cap room?!?! Of course I'd do that deal.

Wed have what? 30 million in cap room along with Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson and 3 first round picks... that's how you build a great team.

I don't see the trade??!

Vasquez is on a really cap friendly contract and Rivers is already receiving minutes. You can pretty much expect him to cut into Vasquez's minutes next season assuming progression is made. There is also a good chance that Roberts will have improved and will also cut into Vasquez's minutes.

Like I said before, Unless they draft Burke, I don't see a good enough reason to get rid of Vasquez. He's a perfect placeholder for Rivers.

Because its important to create a winning culture, integrating the team with the city. That's what the whole rebrand was about. You have to look at it from a business perspective too.

But I'm tired of talking about it. We'll see what happens. I'm almost certain that Vasquez won't be a Pelican by the end of next season, possibly before next season is even underway.

Obviously I have no insight but I really think that Demps and Monty would love to get rid of Gordon and get some value back. Think hes worn out his welcome and believe the only reason they matched the contract offer from the suns is to keep a tradeable chip. Hence Gordon being handled with kid gloves this year so he wouldnt get injured again and lose any trade value he has. I fully expect him not to be on the team next year if we can move him (which wont be easy)

Keep Burke, trade GV and Lopez for Gallinari, sign Pek and gerald henderson

Burke/Rivers
Gordon/Henderson
Gallinari/Miller
Davis/Ryno
Pekovic/Smith

Gallanari is overpaid, coming off of injury and is a liability on defense. No thanks.

well thats 1 of the reasons why i want him, not the overpaid part obviously, but with his coming off of injury he would be easier to acquire, but he doesnt rely on his athleticism to be productive, and we need someone at the 3 who can be a knock down shooter, i think thats what this team needs more than anything, with burke and gordon i think we need a floor spacer at the 3, with burke and gordon being so good with the ball in their hands in getting into the lane, it would also give them a target to pass to that can hit the shot. it doesnt have to be gallo but i believe it has to be an above average shooter, not an incredible athlete, this team didnt work with aminu because all u have to do is crowd the paint.

if ur a person for advanced stats, per 36 minutes he averaged 18 points 6 rebounds and 3 assists, he also had an offensive rating of 117 and a defensive rating of 107 with a win share of .151
That is a great defensive rating for what he brings to the table if u ask me. Plus he is only 24.

Good defensive SF's like Deng and Brewer had defensive ratings of 105 and 106.

To compare some SF's offensive and defensive ratings to gallo's

danillo Gallinari - offense 117 - defense 107
loul Deng - offense 105 - defense 105
corey brewer - offense 104 - defense 105
Chandler Parsons - offense - 113 - defense 108
Wilson Chandler - offense 110 - defense 105
paul george - offense 104 - defense 97

per 36 minutes gallinari was better than all of these guys, even paul george, and gallo is only 24.

These aren't fair stats for comparison.

Age - Per 36 minutes: Points - Rebounds - Assists

24 Danillo Gallinari - 18 - 6 - 3
23 Paul George - 16.5 - 7 - 4
28 Luol Deng - 15 - 6 - 3
25 Wilson Chandler - 19 - 7 - 2
27 Corey Brewer 18 - 4 - 2
24 Chandler Parsons - 15 - 5 - 3.5
23 Jimmy Butler - 12 - 5.5 - 2

I'm sorry but you just sound like you want to get rid of Vasquez because you don't like him. It has nothing to do with the winning culture that you claim. Vasquez is the very definition of winning culture. He's been the prime example of the type of guys they want to bring in here and has been highly regarded for his heart, competitive nature, and work ethic.. Now that doesn't mean that he is a flawless player. He is clearly flawed but he can definitely have a role on this team.

You'd ideally want Vasquez to play the Andre Miller role that he's currently playing for Denver and Ty Lawson. That's where I see him in the future plans with Rivers overtaking the starting position. That's assuming we don't draft a PG. If we do, then everything changes and there would be a GOOD reason to move Vasquez. Otherwise, you're just creating a hole and complicating the situation which heavily revolves around Rivers.

eric gordon for danny granger would make sense...i'd love to get hansborough out of the deal too

just moved to denver, and they love gallo. can't see him or faried getting traded

This move gets suggested frequently time. Near as it can tell the only reason is because it involves trading people to their hometown teams.

STOP! DANNY GRANGER TRADE TALKS ARE TORTURE !

i dont get the granger trades...

i would take the 17 and 18 picks for e.g. under the condition we drafted jamaal franklin and archie goodwin

i make the e.g./ granger trade suggestion for cap reasons. granger only has 2 years left on his deal and its at the same price as gordon. he's injured often and certainly not my 1st choice. but eric gordon plays with absolutely no heart and ill take what we can get at this point. the hometown doesn't hurt, it helps for the sake of desire

Not even close. Why? Because this draft is considered so weak, we could probably just buy a first in that range on the cheap.
