    What do you supposed is his asking price? And if we are trading Aldridge; maybe a Landry is a good fit?

    I keep telling you mods. Sticky those threads that BfWA wrote up about capspace and all our potential options. No one listens. Sigh

    10 + Freeland + Kostas + 2nd rounders for Gordon and Lopez. I would do this. Would the Pelicans? If healthy, this would make us a 50 win team easily.

    I would do it. The risk of injury is a concern; but the reward if pans out could seriously move the needle.

    I dont particularly care for Gordon but that might have to be the kind of high risk/high reward move this team has to make at some point. I would probably consider pulling the trigger.

    MF surgery WAS on the table last summer for Gordon.

    No way do you go after him now.

    Yup. Go big or don't go at all. Definitely risky.

    haha i definitely feel your apprehension. Luck has to turn sometime or the other, right? But for some reason I have a good feeling about EJ. Not so much about Bynum.

    Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

    Fuck it, I would do Gordon and the #5 for something like Wes/Freeland/cap space. Maybe see about flipping the 5th to move up and grab Oladipo as insurance in case Gordon crumbles. If you could get Gordon/Oladipo for basically nothing, I don't think it would be a bad move. If Gordon doesn't work out, so be it. They'd have to take Freeland though, and probably Wes. Wouldn't hurt our cap space too much. We could still go out and get a couple bench guys or a center.

    Would you flip the #5 and the #10 for Oladipo?
