    Olshey's love for dunk contest contestants and non all-stars continues!

    Pass unless it's a deal like Hood and Collins with NO PICKS.

    I might be more pissed off at that than I would be if they traded Simons and Trent with Nurk and got Kevin Love in return.

    If we trade Nas for a short term fix, I'm gonna freak the fuck out.

    Would rather trade Gary.

    Maybe we can be part of a 3 team deal to help the Lakers get him.

    If it's super short term, agreed. Gordon is young and under contract. I'm ok with that

    Nas is exactly the kind of SF we have been searching for since Batum was traded. Don't want to give him up that easily.

    Gary is replaceable.

    you know, Olshey is just crazy enough that he might give them Simons Little AND a bunch of draft picks to help the Lakers get who they want, and Portland gets 2 more 2nd round picks!

    Nas doesn't create nearly the way Batum did. I don't know what makes him exactly what we're looking for. And I don't want to criticize Nas, I really like his potential here. I also like Gordon. And finding a forward that can create like he can could be huge in a PnR for us in the playoffs. I think his switchabuility could be big for us. I think him and COvington have in stretches both played some small ball 5 which, I could see a weird closing lineup of Dame, CJ, DJJ, Gordon, Covington for ultimate switchability on defense.

    Since when is Gordon a good defender?

    A. A. Ron Gordon isn't really worth the salary he's getting. As I said earlier, his #'s are getting either plateauing, or are worse as he's getting more experience. That's not a good sign for a player who is only 25.

    I'm assuming if Portland lands Gordon, one of RoCo or Jones would be gone

    about the PnR I read in one of these threads here a tweet about Gordon being last in PPP of 129 player tracked in PnR. That didn't say if Gordon was the ball-handler or roll man

    That closing lineup make me barf. Beside the guards, the other guys are streaky shooter at best. Gordon is massively overrated by fans here
