Pels Send:
Eric Gordon (Phx)
Austin Rivers (Den)
Luke Babbitt (Hou)
2015 1st (Hou)

Pels Receive:
Omer Asik (Hou)
Wilson Chandler (Den)

Why? Add Asik, clear Gordon and get a SF all in one haul.


Houston Sends:
Omer Asik (Nop)

Houston Receives:
Luke Babbitt (Nop)
2015 1st (Nop)

Why? Babbitt can be waived for nothing and they clear the space and get the first.

Denver Sends:
Wilson Chandler (Nop)

Denver Receives:
Austin Rivers (Nop)
Archie Goodwin (Phx)

Why? Denver is ready to give minutes to Gallo and have Afflalo to fill in at SF when needed. Add two combo guards for depth.

Phoenix Sends:
Archie Goodwin (Den)

Phoenix Receives:
Eric Gordon (Nop)

Why? They improve the shooting guard position and get a player who had mutual interest in joining franchise for a very cheap cost.

Some players rights had to be renounced for Phoenix (Frye/Okafor) and maybe someone else but they don't plan on bringing them back anyway.

Was sort of my thoughts, could easily be removed from this trade luckily.

I knew this trade was doomed the moment I saw Gordon at the top of it.

Cheap cost of acquisition for Gordon yes, but the ownership and upkeep costs are where he gets you. Dragic is better than Gordon, so you'd be paying $15 million per year for a 6th man with injury concerns. Phoenix not only says no, they ask Dell to stop calling.

Phoenix says no. They've moved on from Gordon as long as they can keep Bledsoe and Dragic.


Given that Bledsoe is an RFA and the main team interested in Dragic, Indy, would need a S&T to get him, they're in the driver's seat to keep these two.

so we would be rolling out Tyreke at SG and he would have no backup, nor would Chandler?

i'd still do it, but i'd like to keep rivers.

Not necessarily. I'm not sure where he got the date from, but McNamara is saying July 13th is the earliest we are allowed to trade Ely's contract. We'll likely hear rumors of a deal before then, but any trade would presumably have Ely's voidable contract involved so can't go through until the 13th.

EG for Thaddeus Young straight up...philly is still committed to tanking and needs a proven scorer and someone to eat a lot of their cap room while their young players develop. Thaddeus young is a combo 3/4 that has a decent mid range and inside game and is a good defender

Unless Philly is lying to everyone, they aren't dealing Young. He is allegedly their cornerstone.

So was Jrue =)

But they're not making this deal without a pick, and we don't have one anymore.
