re: Pelicans meeting with McLemore and Oladipo

Trading Gordon and relying on McLemore as a starter will set this organization back another 2 years.

I wouldn't mind having him but you don't trade Gordon as a result. It's hard a frick for a first year SG to succeed right away, especially with the concerns McLemore has. A guy like Beal struggled despite having a "good year" by rookie standards.

That's what I was thinking as well. He may eventually be good enough to replace him but it's a big risk to just expect him to be anything like a 20 PPG scorer.
