    For a team that has maybe 2 legitimate scorers and need defensive help, he may be higher on their radar. I would not trade probably our biggest offensive weapon and go the complete opposite way. Now, he could be a compliment to Gordon if the team were already strong enough to afford that.

    I wouldn't trade Gordon if we draft Ola, but if we could somehow land Mclemore then yes I would.

    Great post and pretty much 100% how I feel. I feel he will be more of a bargain at 6 than Burke would be, honestly. Almost like an Iggy or Deng at the 2 spot.

    how important tony Allen is to memp. Def just isn't as sexy to people. If gm were always right. There wouldn't be busts

    Not really. Rivers is also small for a SG. I don't want either playing SF was the point.

    Allen is a very important role player. Typically players like Allen (and Bruce Bowen from the Spurs days) can be gotten pretty cheaply.

    The idea we could be looking at the number one or number two players on my big board I feel good about that.

    Dipo might walk into the perfect situation for him here. Defensive coach, behind a star so he won't be forced to push too fast too early.

    Get his minutes off the bench early in the year, get acclimated, Gordon gets traded (or gets hurt), he takes over. Pretty much the exact opposite of the Rivers project

    His size would be ok if he could shoot. If he develops a consistent outside game then he can produce at the SG spot. Until then he is better suited for the point.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    I agree about his def. potential. Im just not ok with getting rid of our #1 scoring option and getting a guy who is a defensive stud in return. That's all.

    Don't get me wrong. I don't think Dipo and Rivers are TOO short for SG. They are just on the smaller side for a SG, making them way too small for a SF.

    Both have good points.
