Thanks bud, george is the type of player that I just love, no he isnt kobe bryant able to create for himself but he is very high character, tall, muscular, super athletic, great jumper, great rebounder, potential to be a lock down defender, reminds me a little of a more athletic Deng or less athletic paul george.

If you want to discuss your hypothetical trade I'm all for it, but leave out all the other assumptions.

It wasn't that i didn't agree with you on Barnes. It was that if everyone is an extreme athlete, then it' not that extreme. It was more a nit pick than anything.

players i remember calling elite athletes recently are mclemore and barnes, im not gonna call someone an elite athlete if they arent...

Yeah i didn't want to get into an argument about this but i think it was 4 guys. I was saying it light-heartedly. If you need me to point out everytime I can go back, but i'd rather not.

I live in the Bay Area and the Warriors would make this trade in about 2 seconds.

Aminu is not that big a drop off from Jefferson or Barnes this year + the 1st rounder will be pretty worthless in the late teens at best if Gordon is added to the Warriors.

The biggest Warrior deficiency is no one can create their own shot in crunch time. Gordon can. If anyone says no on this deal, I'd expect it to be the Hornets.

Not to throw water on everything, but the Warriors have no first round pick, and can't trade any pick at the deadline through like 2016. You will definitely be paying Jefferson next season. And Aminu has a higher PER than Barnes, among other things. While I would no doubt want Barnes long term, and more importantly, the about 5 years of his rookie salary. I don't want to give up Gordon and Aminu, as well as taking on Jefferson's deal(one of the worst in the league) just for him.

On the other side, GSW are going to want to deal Thompson before Barnes for Gordon. Thompson is not a good SF candidate. If they are only giving up one, I think Thompson is much more likely with us keeping Aminu. Something along the lines of:

Thompson and Biedrins for Gordon

or a bigger deal of:

Thompson, Barnes and Jefferson for Aminu, Gordon and our first
