Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

[NUMBERICA]

The biggest thing about getting Gordon/Fournier would be that we would have a core locked in long-term. With all the roster turnover since D-Will was traded, I wouldn't mind a few years of that.

Under the condition that the core is legit, SAME.

Yep. I mean if you look at the potential of an Exum-Mitchell-Ingles-Fournier-Gordon-Gobert core, it's pretty high. You've got

- Three guys who have averaged over 18 PPG in a season
- One guy who is one of the best defensive players in the NBA
- One of the best 3 and D players in the NBA
- A top-5 pick that still needs development, but shows a lot of promise

I think you give that core 3-4 years to grow together, and they're contending by the time GSW has blown it up. It would be a young and exciting core to move forward with. It's a core of young, elite defensive players that are also efficient scorers.

I'm not sure on Gordon... I don't think he gets max, but I'd guess he'd get 20M. I don't think he is this Draymond Green defender... he's useful but not amazing. I think he is likely a 30-35% 3 point shooter. But.... if he didn't have these doubts then he'd never be available and they'd match whatever he gets.

I'll bet the pay and keep him.

Exactly. But pairing him with Gobert (in addition to Ingles and Mitchell) is just nasty.

This is the key. Having Gobert behind him makes a huge difference. It gives him a lot of room to aggressively get after his guy.

Gordon's getting a max contract. Guaranteed.

Look how he compares to another dude who got a max contact after his 4th year.

Watching the entire Detroit game tonight to give my 100% accurate and right take on trading for anyone on that team. No other information will be needed.

I forget, but where people aware of the oncoming cap-spike during Hayward free agency?

I doubt that had any impact whatsoever on the decision for Charlotte (and there were other suitors) to offer a max contract.

I don’t think so. Certainly not to the degree that it jumped initially.

Are you guys kidding... I knew about it as a fan so absolutely teams knew about it. Many people pointed it out.

Thank God... finally someone is doing something.
