Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

If I’m Orlando and looking to trade Gordon I’m looking for a few things:

- get a superstar (probably not happening)
- shed other future salary
- get draft picks back
- get young talent back

I think the Jazz can figure out a trade that would accomplish 3/4 there.
 
Monroe took the money. What a douche. Had he started in NOLA and proved himself, he would have made more money this summer. Who advises these guys?

If the Magic are trading Gordon, they are trying to unload someone like Biyombo, not Fournier.

If they really want to do a full rebuild they can probably move Fournier separate of Gordon.

He's more likely to look better in the Boston system.

And it's usually the smart move to take the money when it's available.

He took more money and a better chance at post season success. Sounds like 2 v 1. I don't fault him at all.


Also unrelated, twitter had a break down of trade chatter and it has Chicago and Denver as interested in Hood. Ben Dowsett retweeted it about an hour ago.
 
NOLA offered him a chance to start. In the playoffs, he won't play over Horford against small lineups.

Sure, he makes $2.8 more, but I think he gets more out of NOLA long term. Boston won't break the bank to keep him this summer.

A chance to fleece Denver again? Where do we sign up?

The Magic are shopping Gordon because they don't think he's a max player (he isn't) but some dumbass GM will probably give him a max offer as an RFA; thus losing him for nothing.

They're not bargaining from a position of strength.

Nah, that's not the reason. They are doing it because they signed too many crappy contracts and failed in the draft that they can't really improve their team and they know how flawed they are.

I really doubt they trade him unless they can move Biyombo with him, and I dont think any team wants to do that. The Magic suck at the draft, free agency, and the trade market. They made huge mistakes in all 3 phases so that's why they are looking to hit the reset button. Nothing to do w/ Gordon not being a max player.
