Broussard: Hornets Gauging Interest in Gordon {merged all of Gordon rumors}

I seriously doubt GS gives up Klay AND Barnes? Just doesn't make sense.
But hell....i'd take Jefferson or Andres if they give up both?
Just don't see it happening.

Seems like either we get screwed or they get screwed. Not seeing a very "fair" trade for both teams here?
Then again...they did trade for Bogut so who knows.

He's aggressive and brings that element to a team where we don't have a lot of guys that can go to the basket...that being said, he isn't as good as he was. No way. He was on the verge of being the next DWade or DWade light, he is not near that level anymore. He's still a very talented guy, but not like he was, sorry it's a fact. Look at him with the Clips, dude has dunked like twice with the Hornets. Just saying people act like their is a big gap between the two players and their isn't. Different styles yeah, but how much the contribute is close. EG isn't the player he was.

FYI: Source says trade talks involving Hornets G Eric Gordon and Warriors G Klay Thompson are at "more than exploratory" stage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Things that make you go Hmmmmmm

I would LOVE!!! to get Thompson and Barnes for Gordon but obviously we'd have to give up more than Gordon and take on the bad contract of Biedrins or Jefferson.

So the question is what would you be willing to give up with Gordon if it meant getting Thompson and Barnes??

I dont get this quote.

Man I think Thompson is a dead eye shooter but we should definitely wait till after the offseason to possibly trade him. Let him try to get some health back, if possible lol

That and if we are dumping Gordon and getting back equal salary... Gordon's contract would be on the books for next year anyway. We'd have the same amount of cap space

I guess they figure these might leave a better taste in their mouths than Gordon does. :hihi:

LOL! We'd need to throw in AD if they're sending us some Chicken and waffle Lays.

I agree. But I think people just like the trade talk excitement. I guess

There is no way in hell the Hornets are getting Thompson AND Barnes for Gordon. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Even if Aminu were added to the deal it's not happening.

If a Gordon deal happens with Golden State it will be Gordon for Thompson/Biedrins or Thompson/Jefferson. My dream is Thompson/Bogut.

If the team is really worried about Gordons health then I would do this deal. Most is a future 20+ per game scorer and isn't a bad defender.

I don't want to do any move that kills our chances of getting Iggy this offseason... :cool:

Imagine iggy with this current roster.... its a thing of beauty. one of the best defensive players in the league with monty
ooooohhhh lawd.

I'm with ya dawg

How would it screw anything up? We'd have the SAME cap space... Thompson+RJeff = Gordon

he is not a good defender at all. when clutch time on defense is needed klay thompson is on the bench for the warriors, he is slow and cant keep anything in front of him he is also not strong at all.

so like Vasquez? lol i kid i kid

Iggy is overrated. We need veterans, but not any that we would have to break the bank for.... If we have to throw Lopez and eat salary to get Barnes in the proposed deal, I would do it in a second.

Then you are stuck without a starting caliber center now and for the forseeable future. You would be banking on us landing a quality FA or draft pick that can contribute right away. I don't like relying on something to happen. But that's just me.

I disagree. You guys are overrating Klay and Barnes. Iggy would be perfect for this team.
I feel like the addition of Iggy puts us into contention immediately with our current build. Just my opinion though.

Turn to ESPN radio. They're about to talk about Hornets/Gordon

Bogut? Another highly paid, often injured player? Why?!

I think Gordon is overrated. Barnes and klay have more potential. Gordon is what he is. Too up and down and can't stay on court

This guy from Golden State of Mind talks about Thompson/Barnes in the 4th quarters. He doesn't seem to think Klay should be on the court in the 4th quarters as much as he is.

http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/201...he-4th-quarter

Just an interesting read on what one GS blogger has to say about these two. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't agree that Iggy is overrated. But....he isn't getting any younger and I think he would consider going to a contending team as opposed to a rebuilding one. If he comes here I think it would be a last option for him to be honest.

Not saying i disagree with you. I was responding to the post about IGGY being overrated. Gordon i can take or leave.

Lopez doesn't get rebounds! I would rather overpay for Pekovic and get the required toughness that could play along the side of Davis for the future. Plus, there are a plethora of big men in the draft, that would go in the top ten. Lopez is expendable and is one of our better trading chips.

I love Iggy too and I think he is a perfect third option for a contender. But, I do not think he makes us a contender next year so I don't think we should give him the $10-13 million that he will probably get. He is a great piece to have when a team is ready to make the leap from solid playoff team with a star to title contender. We are 19-35 this year. We need a few more years to develop and give young guys playing time to get used to the league. By the time we would be ready to contend he will be 33 and on the downside of his career. Great player but I don't think he's a good fit.

Iggy is already 29 years old. We are not the team for him. We are too young. He would be a waste of money here.

Perhaps or perhaps he is the veteran we need to make the jump?
A man can dream.

Ok. Iggy is not overrated.... but as a bunch of people above have said, we don't need him. He is a great defender and can drive to the basket. We are in the "Building up" mode... not "one more piece mode". Veterans are key, but we can't tie up any money with these guys.

I think everyone would rather that but what gaurentee do we have that he signs with us and not someone else?

Jefferson/Biedrins are considered the salary dump portion of the deal. Getting Bogut who actually has talent would be a boon and his contract is the same length.

Bogut's injury history? Hi two major injuries were freak accidents:

Quote:

---

After three first-quarter blocks Jan. 25, he was going for a fourth when he landed on Kyle Lowry's foot and broke his ankle.

On April 3, 2010, Bogut dunked on a fastbreak, but a little shove in the back from Amar'e Stoudemire caused the center to fall 10 feet from the rim and land awkwardly on his right arm - dislocating his elbow and breaking his wrist and finger.

---

Having said that, I sincerely doubt GS would even entertain a Bogut/Thompson for Gordon+ trade.

Honestly, I'd rather have Harrison Barnes over Klay Thompson.


Hornets get: Barnes, Draymond Green & 1st round pick
Warriors get: Gordon & Xavier Henry

Salaries don't match and GS doesn't own their pick next year.

He makes over $5-7 million more the next two years than the other two guys and has played 23 games since 2010 season.

I think it would be several years before GS could trade a 1st rounder. Without Barnes thrown in, I would have to pass.

If we make this move, I'll be surprised.
