Haul for D-Will vs Haul for CP3

[DunkMyBalls]

NJ's package may be a little bit more of a risk, but one worth taking. Gordon is nice but Favors is worth the risk. Lets say worse case sinario Favors = Horford, and best case sinario Favors = Stoudamire. If he's only a Horford it's atleast still debatable whether you take the solid big man in Horford or E.Gordon. I'd say Horford cause scoring 2-guards are easier to find.

Not disagreeing with your post entirely, but Eric gordons don't grow on trees as you suggest. That said I like favors potential, but would love a dynamic scorer like eg. I guess I would take the nj package, but it's not an easy win for us. We have not had a true scorer on this team since Karl Malone.

i think clippers gave up too much, gordon really is a good player, but they will certainly make playoffs this year

Right now...
Gordon > Favors (but that could flip)
Aminu ~ Kanter (TBD)
Kaman < Harris (Harris glue, Kaman is serviceable but salary dump)
MIN ~ GS (TBD)

If DWill was traded to LAC:
Watson / Gordon / Hayward-Aminu / Millsap / Jefferson-Kaman
But he wasnt:
Harris / Burks / Hayward / Favors-Millsap / Jefferson-Kanter

So after looking at the above rosters, I like the NJ package cause of Favors & another potential bruising big w/ the Undertaker!

Here the current players we have, Favors+Kanter seem more valuable than Gordon alone, but the key point is, they have unprotected minny pick which will be a very good player probably, and it is much worth than our gsw pick

Plus I bet we would have opted for Bledsoe rather than Aminu in the package.

I think timing is also important. If the jazz had not traded DWill last year, ad if bothe CP3 and Dwill were on the trade market at the same time, probably, both teams would have to agree a lower quality deals due to the competition.

Hornets did better than the Jazz but we did a lot better than Denver.

As others have said, there are just too many unknowns. It's too early to tell how good Favors, Kanter and Aminu will be, we don't know what the picks will produce, we don't know if the Hornets will try to move Kaman and what they will get if they do. It's very close right now, but we are probably not going to know the answer to this question for a couple of years. I did like seeing this headline though: "Lakers Fuming at Chris Paul Trade".

Clippers getting Chris Paul is by FAR a better deal. I don't care what the Hornets, or the Jazz, or the Nets got, because none of those teams acquisitions caused the LaLakers team and media boys to get upset. Chris Paul to the Clippers has the Laker lovers howling, and that is great. Can't wait for Kobe to demand a trade to the Magic or Nets.

Going to ask this question because I'm bored....


If you could choose doing the D-Will trade last year, or doing the trade this year which would you pick, knowing what we got in the draft with Kanter and Burks last year?

 

[fairweather]

CP3 trade is better for the Hornets, hands down.

Especially in light of getting Billups, the Clippers were in the power position and ended up giving up too much. If they gave up Eric Bledsoe instead of Eric Gordon, then that would have been a perfect trade for both sides. I might have also tried to protect the Minnesota pick for the Top 3.

Comparing it to the Utah deal, the Hornets did a bit better, as it gives them more flexibility than the Jazz got, in that Kaman is a large expiring deal and the Minnesota pick compared to the GSW pick is unprotected.
