Meanwhile Tyreke shot the best percentage of his career. That could be an anomaly, or it could be a sign of things to come.

    I personally believe Tyreke will improve his shooting but never be much more than a 33% shooter. Whereas Gordon is probably more like his career average of 36.3%. (These are just my opinions).

    At the end of the day, I see them both as more dribble drive SG's than stretch the floor shooters. Tyreke gives you so many other things though that Gordon could never.

    And I hate that I have to take this side, because I just said a couple of days ago how I couldn't wait for Tyreke to sign so people would stop bringing him up. Now look at me.

    PS- this was a team with Rivers and Aminu at the 2 and 3 to start last season, and Vasquez at PG. You want to talk about poor spacing, lol.
    1 Gordon is still not in his prime so you really cant say that
    2 watching this dude with the clippers...the dude could actually shoot the ball well... Well enough to as I don't even know why we are even talking about Evans

    History says it's a lot more likely that Tyreke Evans develops a jumpshot than it is that Eric Gordon stays healthy.

    That's actually a good plan but I'd rather Webster over Wright unless the price gets to high. Still wouldn't mind getting Tyreke and shipping Gordon.

    If we can ship gordon out absolutely. I am just trying to think of easier achievable options.

    Evans is younger than Gordon and not made of glass

    That is definitely achievable and not a bad option. I love the idea of Asik playing with Davis and Anderson. There are some great combinations in that trio.

    Comparing both of them 100% healthy you would be correct. But that's the problem you have to factor in gordon's missed games.

    Tyreke plays 64.25 games a season
    Gordon plays 59.5 games a season

    Per48 there was no center last year who had more rebounds than Asik.

    Bad stat seeing as though a couple years a go the max number of games was 66. Just say how many total games each as missed.

    EDIT: I'll do it.

    Evans - Total games could have played in: 312, actually played in: 257 = 82.3% play rate
    Gordan - Total games could have played in: 394, actually played in: 247 = 62.6% play rate

    I'm not buying "reports" until I see him play a months worth of games straight. Evans isn't a bad defender and you can't teach 6'11.5 wingspan. I'm all for keeping Gordon if we can get other pieces at 3 and 5, but I'm not going to act like him missing games should have no effect on the way he is evaluated.

    Forget about the lockout.

    Freaking owners and players making me look bad

    Very misleading considering Gordon has only played an average of 49.4 games a season, NOT 59.5

    No, Eric Gordon averages 49.4 games per season. Eric Gordon has played in a total of 62% of games possible in his career. He has played 247 games out of a 394 possible.

    Tyreke averages 64.25 games a season like you said, but he has played in a total of of 82% of games possible in his career. He has played 257 out of 312 possible.

    Showing basic games per season doesn't show the full story (besides having one of your numbers off) because Tyreke has had 1/4 (25%) of his years shortened thanks to the lockout. EJ has had 1/5 (20%).

    Tyreke is not iron man, but Eric Gordon he is not.

    LeBron is left wide open.

    Frankly because it's easier to hope LeBron misses from 3 than to try and guard his drives to the lane. Which, frankly, I'd say Evans is the only person above 6'6" on LeBron's level in getting to the rim and finishing.
