But like Phelpsalot said, we all have our favorites and nobody will change the other sides opinions... so we'll all just agree to disagree and hope whoever the Pels take works out very, very well.

Who is Phelpsalot?

Collison is a much better defender and athlete than Burke. Also, how can you play Burke next to Gordon? You'd have to get rid of Gordon ether way. A 5'11 PG and a 6'3 SG. Afflalo already gave Gordon fits. We would have to get longer and quicker on the wings if you get Burke.

Oladipo would get plenty of minutes because he is a lockdown defender and can guard the best guard on the floor right away and most SFs in the league.

In plus, you really think Gordon is a lock? Can't stay healthy, takes up cap space, doesn't want to be here. I'd give him until next season deadline before he is shipped out with the earliest being this summer. Because let's face it, he can opt out. If he plays well for next year, we'd have to ship him regardless because then he will most likely opt out for a bigger market like he wants. And this is coming from what use to be a big supporter of EJ.

Like I said, his offense will be good. It might not translate right away but he will be solid. But being below average on defense against college guards always means you will be susceptible on defense in the NBA.

I don't see how Burke helps the Pels stop 30+ point quarters. Jrue and Conley are elite athletes by the way.
