Hornets listening to offers for Eric Gordon {merged}

I wish the Pacers would trade us George for Gordon. A big healthy sf/sg who is on the verge of stardom for an impish injured sg, who doesn't know if he is coming or going.

he's not going anywhere

of cause Teams listen to offers, and of course everything can happen
and I understand Eric, after the Clippers traded him with out telling him :)

I think people don't should even think about Paul George, they wont trade him, why should they

It's the simplistic "Durr. Gordon is from Indiana. Granger is from New Orleans" mindset.

Let's get Thaddeus Young, DJ Augustin, resurrect Clyde Drexler, and Greg Monroe.


...actually, getting Greg Monroe ain't a bad idea. Though we're more likely to resurrect Drexler first.

I don't think George or MKG are going to be available but can't hurt to dream. If I'm dreaming I want Wiggins in the following draft.

Granger would have to be for a lot less than Gordon. If the pacers are trying to cut salary next year we can absorb his contract for a nominal fee say a late first.

Find a way to trade Xavier Henry(expiring contract) to Indy for Gerald Green, who brings energy! Needs coaching on defense but has a lot of potential offensively with 3pt range and slashing.
He's a triple-threat player!

The rumor mills today say the 76er's are shopping Evan Turner, a young developing SG. Wonder what kind of Gordon for Turner deal could be crafted up. Of to the trade mackina!

At this point, I think any trade involving Gordon would be mostly to get out from under his contract. I would imagine his value to be fairly low at this point since he is still rounding in to shape and has yet to play in any back-to-back's, though it only takes one GM to think he is the missing piece.

I wouldn't do any deal that involves Turner for Gordon.

i absolutely would hate to get Evan Turner. Yuck!

This trade works out well for both teams: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=abnv8g8

Gordon+Henry for Turner+Richardson

Turner could be a better fit here with this young core and he's still on his rookie contract for 2 years. We swap Henry's small expiring contract for Jason Richardson's 5.8 mill one for 3 years, the price we pay for 76er's taking on Gordon's max deal with his injury concerns. 76er's solidify a stellar backcourt combo with this trade while still primed to offer Bynum a big contract if they think he's healthy enough.

Turner is young, developing and a solid all around player. He's also got the size you'd like to see at the 2 guard position and he can play the 3 as well. Was surprised to see his 3point% is 40% this season. Meanwhile J-Richardson is a solid vet who can provide outside shooting and veteran guidance for the young squad. Bada-boom.

Lopez/ Smith
Davis/ Anderson
Aminu/ Richardson
Turner/ Mason
Vasquez/ Rivers

A solid young core to build into the future with and will still compete now. Draft well and play the cards right in free agency, the future would be bright.

Why is that? He seems pretty solid and is still young.

Ask 6ers fans how much of a disappointment he has been and you'll get your answer. Turner isn't an impact player.

Evan Turner is having a great year and could be in the talk for MIP but we all know who's gonna win that. :coolg:

Edit: averaging about 14 7 assist 5 rebs. And brought his pt % up a lot.u

I swear, it's like no player that exists and is gettable is good enough.

Shooting a lower percentage, playing more minutes, and making little impact. Why trade Gordon for this guy? This guy is older than Gordon by a couple of months.

Just like you and many on here who just can't seem to appreciate their own players.

Turner can be a great addition to our core ! He's a young point forward and has really improved his numbers this year. I thought they won't shop him, but they are... I hope will get him but not in a trade involving EG of course!

Eric Gordon is NOT going to be traded this season.

Oh FFS. I have no problem with Gravy. But what, we're just one player away now? We need more. More time, yes. But the talent base isn't complete. And no one, save Davis, is untouchable. Should explore every conceivable option.

Turner just isn't that good. Offensively, he hurts a team alot more than help. Total shooting is abysmal. Can't create his own shot consistently. He's really an average player at best and doesn't seem to be improving that much.

If Turner is that bad, we should get him without giving up too much value. Give him a shot, he is still young!
His stats have improved from last season !

Exactly... No matter what he would be an upgrade at SF, I don't think anyone would argue that (but I've been wrong before)... What would we give up for him though? It would be really counterproductive to involve Gordon, but would we give up our draft pick for him?

I think Philly will ask for our 2013 draft pick if we make a move for him... Don't want to give this one.
I still don't understand Philly... the guy is a rare talent to me even though he is not very athletic.

I agree... I'd give up our pick for him, we have enough 20 year olds already. I'd like another young vet at SF, and then go after big Pek in free agency. We'd have a great future setup.

I know it's bleacher report but it has some good points.

I want this player ! ^^

Would love to get Greg Monroe some now and draft Otto porter

I'd look at trading our first for Turner. He's a jack of all trades, but does nothing fantastic. Rebounds, defends, shoots the ball and makes plays. Would do really well at our 3.

He is a fantastic ball handler and passer and we could use him as a point forward incase McLemore does fall to us we wouldn't have to worry about putting gordon at pg, same for shabazz if he is there, I'd love it

Except that he's not. Aminu has out played turner in a lot of ways and has a higher PER. I think too many people see Turner for what they think he is than what he really is. His salary is approaching Ariza territory but not as good.

I'm not convinced Turner would be an upgrade over Aminu.

Based on PER, Aminu may be the better player.
Turner will never be a defensive force like Aminu, but he could bring many possibilities to our offense like shooting, play-making. He is also a pretty good rebounder. Moreover, Turner is still a young player and will improve.
I think we have to consider him because he is available and we could get him without giving up too many assets for the future. What do you think?

His passing and scoring ability would open up our offense alot. I think he would fit on our team perfectly. Our defense and rebounding would take a hit. But I believe he would be a great addition to our team, not enough to do anything too drastic to get him. I don't think our 1st would be too much for him, Turner and Chief would turn our weakest position into a strength.

Aminu is a one deminsional (exceptional) athlete. Turner is not. Turner handles the ball, shoots the threes and gets assists. Its as simple as that in my opinion, but everyone has one.

Turner may be better shooting the 3 than Aminu but that's not saying much. He made only 14 3s all season. Not impressive at all. He doesn't really stretch the floor. Turner handles the ball but he needs the ball in his hands to be effective. He turns it over at a high rate for someone needs the ball in his hands. That's not something you want to see out of your wing... especially on a team with Gordon.

Is he better than Aminu? In certain aspects. Offensively.. Yes. But I don't see him as a long term solution.

Aminu turns it over at high levels for someone who doesn't need the ball in his hands :hihi:

Edit: Also, it says he's made 36 3's all season on his ESPN profile, so idk.

Not high enough to be a problem. He knows his limitations which helps alot.'

You're right. I was looking at the wrong line.

All I can say is agree to disagree. I feel he would be an upgrade on offense and not much of a dropoff on defense. You disagree. Fair enough.

I never said he wasn't an upgrade. I agreed that he was better than Aminu offensively. I just don't think he's the answer.

That's seems like an ideal situation. But what would we have to give up to make that happen? Would x and our first suffice ya think?
