your 100% correct, but you dont think thats a little much just to take a year off of wallaces contract? i do agree that gordon could potentially turn it all around but his injuries have been a problem for years, and i mean years...idk I would be weary on pulling the trigger for that deal (but as a plus if we do trade for him and wanna resign we can get him for cheap) but how injury prone avery bradley is could also stop DA from doing a EG deal
on a lighter note though I am almost certain that this could be the year we get a legitimate center! lol; if 76 or bucks draft embiid we could get noel or sanders for 25 cents on the dollar (which i love both as younger rim protecting high upside centers), or we could prey on houstons weakness and get asik for free!
what do you think about wallace to toronto?
A protected first pick, and a 2nd rounder may be a tad bit too much. But Gordon has a player option. Injuries can also be attributed to the system they run, or the fact that like I said Gordon has always been the main scoring option. Hes had plenty of mileage on his shoes/feet at a young age. From day one, he has been expected to carry most of the scoring load. The Pelicans also have had a history of injured players, and Davis is also a good result of that. You can blame it on their medical staff, but other factors can also get into it. I don't think AB is that injury prone, but he isn't looking too good.
Like I said, if we get Love, we're going to need a player that can also be our 2nd or 3rd scoring option. A player that can drive or finish inside. If you can get the LAC 22 PPG scoring Gordon, then you should do it.
In this life, you must take risk and gambles. Wallace is an albatross contract. No GM except a select few will even take a whiff at him without a few extra incentives.
Noel isn't coming here though... Trust me when I say that 76ers would expect a lot more, and Sanders will not come 25 cents on the dollar... The Bucks management/FO is pretty bad, but even they know keeping him could be worth more to see whether or not he can pan out.
Sanders could be like Gordon in a year or two, if he doesn't do as well.
Ainge has been known to shoot the gun, and take on a prospect or a young player that just needs a change of scenery.
As for Wallace to Toronto? No. Raptors clearly don't want to muddle cap space. They would rather keep Salmons than trade for Wallace. Masai Ujiri worked hard to clear cap space to get rid of Gay, do you seriously think he would take on a 3 year 10 million dollar contract? Absolutely not. The possibility of Wallace ever landing in Toronto is little to none. If it ever happens, save this thread, and I'll give you 10 TP's.
I personally would offer Wallace, a first protected pick from the Celtics for Gordon, and see whether or not he pans out. Its worth taking a risk. We could also retain or keep Bradley, and Gordon could be our starting SG, with Bradley backing him up.
Gordon is disgruntled, and doesn't want to be a sixth man. He still is young, and has potential. Hes a scorer at heart, and is a decent defender when he tries.
