Does anyone think Houston is going to dump Eric Gordon to make room for another star? I would be willing to pick him up and give them a pick back.
Ryan Andersons contract is awful but he is a really elite offensive player. He obviously could fit next to Gobert pretty well. Would anyone do this trade right now?
Ryan Anderson $19.5m
Eric Gordon $13m
for
Boris Diaw 7.5m
Derrick Favors 12m or Burks 10.5m plus Neto or Bolomboy.
I am guessing they would go for the Diaw/Favors combo since they could use Favors and then they could clear some serious cap space going forward(~33M next season)
The Burks, Diaw and a little filler trade does not clear as much space for them but it still saves them ~23m and helps us out a little with cap space going forward. I think I might go for that trade if Houston was willing. This lineup would be killer next year:
Hill/Exum
Gordon/Hood/Mitchel
Hayward/Inlges/JJ
Anderson/JJ/Bolomboy/FA?
Gobert/Bradley/FA?
We could also still pool some assets and go after Paul George by offering Hood and picks, or another trade to combine some of our B/C assets into a A or even B+ asset.
