re: Pelicans looking to trade for a big

From what I know Nerlens is a good comparison in terms of length and size and I'm assuming their skill isn't very far off...if that's the case I'm turning more towards the Sanders to Nola camp

But I would rather trade Gordon...I love Reke dude can't shoot but I love him

Nerlens has all the same downsides, but is much lighter, and a nice knee injury to help.

I've watched a bunch of Sanders, and I just don't see it. He's not exactly having to fight for rebounds on the Bucks, and he can't shoot. His amazing season he only played about 27 minutes a game because he can't shoot a free throw.

If it's just shipping Gordon out for Sanders, sure, I'll take a chance on him. But if it's Sanders and Mayo, and the $19 million along with them, that would be crippling IMO.
