I wouldn't look at it like this. The way Gordon's been playing, you could play Gordon in the First quarter and McLemore in the next 3 quarters and have a pretty complete SG position. Also, getting McLemore gives you flexibility in trading Gordon. You don't have to look to get an SG back, maybe you're happy getting something like Luol Deng and a pick.


Ya, i'm generally on board with BPA, but we already have Rivers. Wouldn't a third SG be overkill? Not to mention, Eric Gordon would definitely have his feelings hurt. We'd almost be forced to trade him, imo. If that's the plan anyway, it makes sense. Otherwise, I don't know.

My top pick is still Shabazz, anyway. He fits a need as well, so it's perfect if he falls to us.

That's how I would see it, except forced implies lack of leverage. Between the good cap situation and McLemore being a rookie, I don't think the team would feel "forced" to trade Gordon until the next season.

1. Rivers is being developed as a 1
2. Rivers has not done enough to secure the #2 SG spot
