Trade deadline discussion

[Qman]

The argument for Gordon over Bojan if you're the Jazz is that you think Joe Ingles can replace much of Bojan's touches as a floor spacer, while Gordon is a better defender and iso-scorer on a spaced floor. Gordon also adds an interesting help defender at the 4 next to Gobert. Royce can also play minutes at the 3 to make room for Gordon.

So you close with Conley/Mitchell/Ingles/Gordon/Gobert. You've got more size, more defense, have 4 creators and have 3 shooters.

I think this would make our team so much better defensively and on boards. In the playoffs, Donovan and Mike and Joe are going to do the ball handling. And Gordon as a second shotblocker would be awesome.

I sure wouldn't want to be the team having to give John Collins the Max.

Minnesota isn't going to trade a top-5 pick for Collins. That makes sense.

If DAL ends up trading for Drummond, James Johnson is probably being sent over for salary purposes and then brought out. Always liked him.

Thought it'd be the Hawks pick going to T'wolves. My bad

Latest rumor says Boston is trading Smart and a couple firsts for Gordon and Fournier... ummmm am I the only one that’d rather have Smart? Forget the picks.

it might be that Smart goes elsewhere for a first... I still don’t get it for the Celtics if it happens. I’m not sure how we’d use smart but I’d sure the hell be willing to figure it out.

I always thought Gordon was overrated but 2 first round picks plus Marcus Smart is hell of an overpay.

Celtics are getting desperate if that is true. He isn't even a clear answer to their struggles. They need someone who can play slower and orchestrate an offense similar to Joe Ingles. They miss Hayward on that end. Defensively, they need rim protection.

Maybe it’s Kemba instead. Smart was in trade rumors over the draft too.

All those assets they say on... then to blow a bunch of stuff on Gordon? Not sure why they think they need that type of player?
