BOS-NO Trade Idea

[scotto1205]

I'm just thinking of a little offseason cooking. If no is really desperate to move Gordon I wouldn't mind grabbing him only if we could get rid of Wallace in the deal. Maybe Wallace and green. Maybe s/t Bradley and Wallace? If they really want to move him I would be in to making a deal, maybe he could possibly regain his form and we could move him next summer. Well first off would anyone even be interested in possibly obtaining him? Second if you would what kind of deal would you make?

I used to be high on Gordon.

After reading someone basically call him a Jeff Green except undersized at the 2 (to paraphrase, they said "Gordon's useless unless he's scoring"), I'm not so sure. I'm under the impression he's a better shot creator than Green with the ability to handle the rock but his numbers suggest similar inefficiencies (presumably because of his lack of size he can't get to the rim as easy).

I'd probably still do Gerald Wallace for Gordon though. But for the same reason I'd do Gerald Wallace for Josh Smith. The Wallace contract is going to eat up space anyway, might as well get something that's more moveable despite a worse contract.

I don't want Gordon on the payroll for $15M in two years any more than I want Smith's contract here.

Like someone said though 10mil of that is going to be Wallace's contract anyway. I think a 15 mil expiring Gordon down the road would be more attractive than Wallace's 10 mil. And say he does shape himself into form, than all we would have have gave up is Bradley. I'm not a big fan of bringing Bradley back but he would be a good fit in NO.

I think we're better off finding value in the draft and elsewhere than taking on a monster contract that will clog us up no matter whether he's good or bad. Gordon was a rising star but hasn't fulfilled the potential. G Wallace's deal is bad but it's only got 2 more years and may be trade-able next summer.
