How likely/unlikely is a trade like Amare for EG?

---

I think A'mare could be a solid OTB scorer in the approx. 50 games he plays next year, like he was for the Knicks this year. He'd get that $$ of the books quicker and I think his average marginal benefit is somewhat comparable (although slightly less) than Gordons to the Pelicans for next year. He'd obviously be a short-term player and highly undependable (high risk, high return guy), but barring injuryapocalypse like this season I think the Pels could withstand it. I wouldn't hate A'mare, just wouldn't bank on him saving us or killing us. Anything that gets Eric "Cancer" Gordon out of NOLA is alright in my book...
