edit:
Nvm, Kaman is an expiring. I still ask for Gordon + Aminu + Kaman.
Bledsoe is out with a lateral meniscus tear.
I dont see the Clippers trading Gordon, + the Minnesota pick is more valuable than a guy going into RFA in a year 3-4 teams in better and more attractive markets for him have cap space. You would wind up giving Gordon the max almost no matter what he did this year. + Minnesota and NOLA both sucking monkey balls means 2 top 10 picks in a deep draft. + being able to find out if Bledsoe is a long term answer at PG.
NOLA is operating under the guise that young high upside talent is what they want.
You all are crazy to imply that Gordon being included in the deal is A. Better than that pick, B. Necessary to go along with that pick.
I feel the need to correct myself Houston would have no shot at a Deron Williams deal without Kyle Lowry.
But that is a deal they need to explore post Dwight sweepstakes.
I honestly think that Paul is the only one of the 3 who goes to true free agency next year.
The LO trade is a loss looking at just the surface, but it improves their shot at Dwight if the only offer on the table is Lopez, and 2 first rounders.
Boston should step in. They have a good deal on the surface of things on the table.
Rondo Green + pick for Paul, and Ariza.
But 3 things
1. Orlando has no leverage with a Howard trade.
2. If NOLA were to get Rondo they would have to imo find a way to pair Scola and Martin with him.
3 NOLA has no leverage either.
