Trade Joe Ingles and Dante Exum for.....

[whatthe]

Aaron Gordon. It would address the weakness in defending big wings. He can play 3, 4 and small ball 5 and the Jazz would increase athleticism. Ingles is the 5th best player on the team. Aaron Gordon is the 3rd or 4th best on his team. We have enough three point shooters. Go for more defense and athleticism.

Still remember that draft. Wanted him over Danté. Too bad... i still think Jazz would have done it

I think so too. Gordon was the David Locke Telegraphed Pick that year. Either way, Ingles/Dante isn't enough to get him.

Good hell... haven’t even hit the season and this bull **** starts.

Gordon is cool and all but Green/Royce/Bojan are going to give us like 80-90% of what he is imo. He’s not some lock down defender. They wouldn’t do that trade and I think Joe might be more in line with our current year goals. Please go to wherever @LoPo went and pitch this deal to him.

I'd do it.
Magic wouldn't

Good luck as to who is running the second unit in that case. Means Conley and Donovan minutes are fractured even further, and not syncronized as much as we would want to them to be on the court at the same time. Mudiay is still a big question mark.

I appreciate the trade suggestions, but if it's not a top 10/15 player in the NBA, where you do almost anything to get them, and then worry about matchups and combinations later, then you should probably look at team composition, and how a player like a Gordon would fit, and what disadvantages that would have.

OP should be banned for abusing sacred cows.

My assumptions are

1. Orlando will dump talent to save money like they have done in past.
2. Jazz will be worse defensively because the team is smaller.
3. The second unit can survive trade.

Come the trade deadline I think this will be talked about especially if Exum is still unhappy.

Aaron Gordon is high energy, frenetic and crazy athletic. It could help bolster the defense against athletic big wings.

We are going to be pulling our hair out about defense and rebounding some nights, but for better or worse, the current roster will very likely remain past the trade deadline.
