But to go from where we were last season to where we want to be, you are looking at 25 game swing, I don't think one player, unless he is Lebron, Kobe, etc. can do that.

To be clear, I definitely don't think Holiday alone is going to account for 20+ more wins than last year. He'll be good for at least 5-10 more than Vasquez, though, IMO.

Another reason why I have my reservations. A healthy Gordon hasn't been around for almost 3 years.

Yeah, we all should have reservations about that, but the potential for his impact when healthy is just too much to give up on now.

My point is that a lot of things have to go right for us to be a playoff contender and a lot of things would have to go wrong for us to keep that top 5 pick, and I don't like that.

On paper, the trade is great. We got a proven player for an unproven guy with a bum knee and a nameless player who is in high school. But it could very easily put us in an mediocre position with not much room for change.
