    See, I wouldn't want to give up Matthews because we want to increase the quantity of usable players on our team. Unless they were sending over Taylor as well, because I have a feeling that kid will be as good as or better than Matthews within a year or so.

    Miller made half of what Gordon is due next year.

    Plus, the Blazers didn't do any better with Miller than they did the season before he came to Portland.

    Who wants to pay Gordon $13.4m next year?

    I sure hope we stay far away from Gordon. His injuries are very scary. Especially to a team like ours. I feel we have a Big 3 lite in Lillard, Batum, Aldridge. I think a center that can detour teams from attacking the middle at will and some consistent scoring off the bench would be heaven sent. Honetly, Dalembert and Evans or Reddick would make this team so much better.

    Claver is a smart player who needs to gain some confidence in his shot
    Freeland looks like he is figuring it out
    Leonard looks like a nice agile big that can score and rebound
    Barton is a wild man, but if tamed could be a decent rotation guy
    Nolan has played so well the last several games and is a great locker room and practice player because of his bball IQ he would be a good keeper

    All these guys will only get better

    I don't know what this has to do with what I wrote - I was addressing the "disrespectful" aspect of Gordon, not the financial aspect...

    Depending on cost I would take a look at:

    Al Jefferson (wait until off-season)
    JJ Redick
    Omri Casspi (they would have to basically give him away)
    Samuel Dalembert (wait until off-season)
    Paul Milsap (wait until off-season)
    DeJuan Blair
    Jared Dudley
    Timofey Mozgov
    Tyreke Evans

    Gordon should not even be brought up IMO, we have Wes who is better and a great team guy and have much more pressing needs. Gordon's overpaid at a ridiculous 13 mil next yr and and an ahole and simply not that good to top it off

    Great trade for both teams. Wonder if it will get done?

    I'd be in favor of most any deal that would get us Tyreke Evans, Evan Turner, Iggy, or OJ Mayo.
    This summer trying for Jefferson, Kaman or Dalembert via signing would be good too.

    I like our Lillard - ?? - Batum - Aldridge - ?? lineup going forward.

    I would actually trade hickson for dalembert straight up before the deadline; so we would have less of a cap hold this summer.

    I like all of those suggestions other than Mayo. It seems to me that he puts up empty stats. Kaman is another guy I would stay away from. Guy seems to be hurt more than healthy.

    Jefferson is almost as bad on defense as Hickson is

    Absolutely! They already have a much better center to replace dalembert. Hickson would agree because he would be on a playoff team. Also Milwaukee would really improve with hickson; plus they have the cap space to keep him after.

    I'd be interested in acquiring Timofey Mozgov. He's not getting used in Denver (and they gave a $10M contract to McGee) but he's mobile and a good rebounder and shot blocker.

    I fully expect him to opt out of his contract and be on the FA market this summer.
