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

[sting]

We should hold on the Gordon at least till trading deadline next season.

[kinglio21093]

Why does everyone overrate other teams players and underrate our players? I don't get it...

Klay Thompson is a shooter who can't shoot. The guy is under 42% from the field this year, and his defense is totally average. He had the best game of his career against us, and that's all that people remember. Harrison Barnes is an unproven rookie who is having a below average year with regard to other starting SFs.

Check out their horrible win shares on a winning team (0.066 and 0.070):

And yeah, Gordon is having a down year, which is understandable considering he's playing inured, hasn't played basketball in a year in a half, and is playing with a whole new team.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

Whats everyone opinion on whether Gordon would approve of being trade to any these teams since he does have veto rights to any trade untill july 2013.

I can't see him refusing a trade to any team that is winning.

too much logic in just one post. My head is gonna explode

How about this, http://espn.go.com/nba/trademachine?tradeId=b54dad3.
Golden State gets alot of expirings and gives them players for a title run this year.
Dallas gets building blocks with Gordon and Dirk with alot of money to spend next year.
We get alot of youth and 2 contracts that expire after next year (which can be moved for picks or wait till money comes off for resigning)

If Dallas needs more ,Golden State can throw in a first or Ezeli can go to Dallas. On the trade machine we come out even, Dallas loses but they're throwing the towel for next years free agents anyway, and Golden state increase by 6 for a run in the playoffs and cap space next year.

I wonder what that10 percent is based off of lol.

It basically means there is just enough of smidgen of truth here for me to justify posting this and getting all of these web clicks for ESPN insider...

The link you posted takes us to the trade machine main page. Or at least me.

Of course we should.

[tdcreator]

Our Team looks like
Vasques, Rivers
Mayo, Mason
Barnes, Miller
Davis, Ryno, Beidrins
Lopez, Ezeli, Smith

We still have a first for McLemore(if lucky), Smart, Porter, or maybe Bennett as a matchup 3/4. (I know Bennett has been considered a 4 but can play spot 3 against some slower/bigger 3's)

I think he'd be ecstatic to go to the Warriors. A team with great chemistry that's winning lots of games in beautiful San Francisco. He also gets to reunite with his bud J-Jack.

Saw this on another site, I think the Pacers seem like legit landing spot if Gordon is traded but don't know about the value of this deal.

Pacers - Gordon, Smith, 2014 2nd rd pick

Pelicans - George, Stephenson, West (Expiring Contract)

[tdcreator]

I can't get it to share so here it is
Dallas Gets Gordon
Golden State gets Kaman, Carter, and Aminu
We get Mayo, Barnes, Beidrins, and Ezeli

Lol this was never happen.

[BigEasyBrow]

No way Indiana does that trade. Giving up George and West for an injury riddled Gordon gives them no chance to compete with Miami

[rubicon]

The problem with Mayo which was just presented to me by MM, is that mayo's contract is expiring. He has a player option, which means he will be an unrestricted free agent demanding 8-10 Mill.

Only in our dreams. No way we get George for Gordon.

Sounded like a lot, The thought with West was hes a FA this summer and likely won't resign in indy? I have no idea were it came from but I haven seen were DWest wouldn't be back with Indy.

[Hornetnojersey]

Man I just gave u an Internet Hi5. We will never be happy.

[donato]

Klay Thompson may not have a great FG% this year, but he shoots a good clip from 3, and has a great FT%. I'd be happy with Barnes and Thompson for Gordon, Smith and our first round pick this year unprotected. I think that's a realistic win/win for both teams.

[ascaptjack]

Chandler Parsons has got to be the most underrated player in the NBA.

Look at his salary,

http://www.spotrac.com/nba/houston-r...ndler-parsons/

Around 880,000 a year for 15 PPG/4 Assists/6 Rebounds.

[Trell]

Please lord if you can land us one of these trades I will be forever greatful!

Parsons + Montejunas + Rocket's 1st for Gordon
Klay Thompson + Warrior's 1st for Gordon
Barnes + Warrior's 1st for Gordon

parsons dropped 21-8-9 tuesday vs the warriors, only problem is that he is already 25 but would be in his prime in 2 years which is a plus. Would love to get him then package our first and rockets first to get mclemore or shabazz

klay thompson is a freak, 22 years old, 6"7, sharpshooting ace, averaging 16.5-4.5-2.5 as a SG, package our 1st and rocket's first and move up to get shabazz or stay put and take otto porter

Harrison Barnes having a nice rookie year averaging 9 points and 4.5 rebs, shooting a great 37% from 3, looks to be an incredible athlete and potential to be a lock down defender, would love to get him, package our 1st and rockets 1st, move up to get mclemore or shabazz

Oh god! Anyways, I see a deal with the Warriors but the only player I see moving from GS is Klay, and IDK how him a GV would work together as both is slow.


I say keep Gordon but if we do go and get the home town guy Danny Granger from(there is no chance Paul George goes) Indiana, it would be nice to get a pick in a mid round from a guy like Aminu so we can grab someone who may fall like Nerlen Noel or something. Grangers a good player who can do everything, even play the post and defend Lebron.

[HornetGuru]

I like mayo plus a first
parsons and a 1st
barnes and a 1st
paul george for gordon and our 1st
any of these are fine with me
