Shooting Guards

[Nikolokolus]

Well my bad, with free agency opening soon I figured he must be available on the list. As for trading for a one year rental? Sure, why the hell not

What is with the Gordon love? The guy has played fewer games each year because of injury. Why in the world would we want to overspend for someone like that?

MM the guy can ball. I admit I was not sold on him until I watched in person several times. Injuries are always a concern, but he has not had any significant ones. The dude is a difference maker. Maybe not ideal but pretty damn close.

For a moment, I read that as "until I watched him in prison several times."

JailBlazer era still affects me, I suppose...

Gordon is one hell of a player. Fast, explosive and a damn good shooter but man has he missed a lot of games. I'm really concerned about his health and lots of rumors that NO will match even a Max deal for him. So might as well write him off unless we do a S&T with Batum at 11m for Gordon at 16m and that i'm not a fan of at all.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I don't know how that's going to work, both are ball-dominant guards.

Or to put it another way:

An Austin Rivers-Eric Gordon backcourt should just be called The Hunger Games.

Please, not Kevin Martin. We'd be hoping for Jamal Crawford back.

 

[Blazinaway]

Please, not Kevin Martin. We'd be hoping for Jamal Crawford back.

exactly! no one-year bandaids are wanted. If we don't get guys that fit and we "really" want for the next 3-4 years we are much better off going with what we have and developing guys like Ewill and the new guy barton and see what we really have with them.

Got to throw an overpaid deal at Gordon, 12-14 mil, and hope he's not matched.

If that fails, I'd make a run at Mayo.

Well if the plan is to go back to the lottery one more time next year then Martin could help just as much as Crawful.

I would've agreed with you up until Gordon actually deigned to play for N'Awlins last year. He was pretty damn amazing. He turned an abysmal team into mediocre just like that. I always thought he was just a runty gunner, but he's much more well-rounded, and because he's so stocky, he can get away with being runty.

So would breaking the legs of all our starters, but I wouldn't want that either.

No way in hell i'd like Mayo on this team. There is a reason the Grizz have tried to move him unseccesffully for two years and he will want a lot of money. He is another JR Smith type player and headcase.

if that's really the plan in the sense of accepting reality then why go after anyone unless we get a 3-4 yr bilding piece we want? Keep the capspace and develop Ewill and the new guy, unless you get someone you want at the price we want

Kevin Martin is nothing like Jamal Crawford. Look at his FG%. He's one of the most efficient scorers in the league. It's pretty damn impressive actually.

 

[Mediocre Man]

It's not his talent, it's his injuries

 

[Pinwheel1]

I tired to google his injuries. But did not find the specifcs. What were they?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Looks like Phoenix is going to make Eric Gordon a large offer. I did not know they 23 million in cap space.
