It doesn't matter if we own picks 3 & 4, Parker and Wiggins are the two best prospects since Lebron and any GM trading the chance to draft either one should be fired the second he makes it. How would u have felt if Demps traded Davis last year? Both Parker and Wiggins are considered better prospects, so why would any GM trade the rights to draft either?Originally Posted by NMThreeMVP
It's a lottery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having two picks in the lottery guarantees us a better chance of getting a top 3 pick. Nobody knows who will be picking 1st, 2nd, or 3rd until the ping pong balls do their dance.
Why is their an assumption that we won't have both pick #1 and pick #2 if we go into the lottery with two picks?!!
We could end up with Parker and Wiggins! ....it's a muthachuckin lottery system!
Furthermore... Those aren't the only prospects in the 2014 draft that have all-star potential.

I know how the lottery works, but the original post that was quoted said we could package our picks and move into the top 3. There's a zero percent chance of that happening. Way to avoid the questions I asked in my last post though
You're wasting your breath. Too many video game mentalities on here.

ClipsNation article with about 380 comments discussing this trade.
I think Clippers fans are as torn on Eric Gordon as Pelicans fans, but I think they'd mostly do this deal. Reading comments from both fan bases, it's undeniable that this trade on paper works for both teams.
There isnt a clear winner, but Jordan/Bledsoe seems like more than fair compensation for Gordon. Whether people want to acknowledge it or not, Gordon is a $14m per year injury risk.
Lopez really is just a throw in. Lopez overplayed his talent this year, but I don't think that's sustainable and I think Pelicans fans believe he's worth more than he actually is. He's a serviceable center on $5m contract. Nothing special.

do u have any idea what can happen in a season? People were saying Shabazz was the next Kobe and guaranteed #1 and didn't even know who mclemore was.
WRONG on the 0% chance, u have no idea what can happen and how players will perform this season.
That's true, but if that's the case, why would we WANT to trade up??? The point is, if the players are as hyped, the teams in position to draft them will NOT be trading down.
Lopez is more than a throw in. He's a slightly above average starter on a very good contract. For that, he does have value around the league. As far as not being special...who ever said he was? Seriously. Find me one post that ever said that he was special.
Still lets say we get a center like DJ or even Al Jefferson. There have already been cases when DJ was fussing with Del Negro for not playing in the fourth quarter... And I doubt AL would want to sit out the final mins of the fourth quarter...
And plus with all honestly I like Ryno better starting... Did anybody notice him playing better starting rather than coming of the bench?
because say he isnt a sure fire thing, like most players arent, we take the gamble on him and boom it pays off, just like it might this year with burke or mclemore

LOL, yeah I quit. At least guru has a new best friend to throw 2k trades around
I never would have imagined this bad trade would go 10 pages deep.
I never would have imagined this excellent trade would have so many detractors!
You're new to the board eh?and this is just the beginning!

The thread has gone deep because the idea is that it could happen.
This thread is 10 pages because its the offseason and we are starving for any news.
SIGN A SF
I actually wouldn't be totally against the trade for one reason: it gives us an identity. We rip and run.
Jordan would be better on a team that habitually pushes the ball and gets into a running up and down game. He's a killer athlete that's kinda lost in a halfcourt setting. Ditto for Bledsoe, really. They're very out of place in LA.
But bring them here, pair em with Davis, resign Aminu and draft an athletic 2 and all of a sudden you're looking at a team that's athletic as any in the league, that can force a lot of turnovers and rack up a bunch of points in transition. Would also be pretty stout defensively.
Jordan's very limited in a halfcourt offense, and while CP3 is a magician, he likes to play a slow down halfcourt game. He's a lot better than Bledsoe, but Bledsoe's more apt to push the ball and try and turn the game into a fast break fest. Jordan probably torments most centers by beating them down the floor in that type of game.
bledsoe
rivers
otto porter
ryno
davis
this lineup worth a damn?
Harrison Barnes - 6"6.25 tall, 39.5 inch vertical 8'5.5" standing reach
Shabazz Muhamad - 6"8 tall, 37 inch vertical 8'8.5" standing reach
Harrison Barnes - 101.5 + 39.5 = 141 max jumping height
Shabazz Muhamad - 104.5 + 37 = 141.5 max jumping height
Looks like bazz can get half an inch higher than barnes, guess we can give the bazz cant play SF thing a rest.
Since when is Bazz 6"8'?
Since when hornetguru lives in wonderland
Yeah, I don't buy that either are better prospects than Anthony Davis. And let's not forget Kevin Durant, Greg Oden, & Dwight Howard in that mix between now and LeBron.
