Trade deadline discussion

So I’m not an Aaron Gordon expert, but his shaky jumper and just-okay ball skills should not be a problem on the Nuggets. Yeah, Harris was good, but Aaron Gordon has much greater potential on defense and there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to guard Donovan if they need him to. They were soft and slow as **** defensively and their acquisitions move the needle in a big way.

I think they made a perfect trade. I was not so worried about the Nuggets before this trade but am now.

I think DM would cook Gordon... Harris is great at locking up guards. Aaron is better as a wing and help guy. I haven't seen the full trade but it looks like they did well. AG will certainly help them more than Harris.

The deal I am worried about is the Lakers potentially getting Lowry... that would suck *** and it looks like the other suitors are dropping off.

That Gordon trade doesn’t move Denver’s needle at all for me.

An athletic as hell, four-position defender and a rim-protector being added to the team that needed them most, and who even without them made the WCFs last year aren’t a concern?

**** on paper doesn’t always work out IRL but on paper the Nuggets surgically added everything they were missing in the net expense of nothing, IMO.

Donovan will cook against forwards in this league and that is a given. He only struggle against guards.

I think AG working off of Jokic and Murray will be really good and he will help them against the bigger wings on defense. Likely improves their help defense. Harris is one of the better guard defenders in the league though... exactly the type that can give DM problems.

I don't like Denver getting better and doing it cheaply... but I don't the moves they made today will be the reason they beat us... if they did. It's really that we haven't found an answer defensively against Jokic and Murray.

Evan Fournier is in the weird spot between being good and very good. Surprised he didnt get at least a protected 1st rounder for him, but maybe it's two very highly projected 2nd rounders.

He's an unrestricted free agent in the summer, so that takes some off his value.
