What's depressing about those lists is that two of the guys that many would like to see in NO (Hamilton and Hill) likely could have been acquired at the deadline. Unless I'm mistaken, then the team would have Bird rights for each guy, rendering cap space relatively unimportant.

Even if they can't unload Gordon, this roster:

Holiday/Rivers
Gordon/Evans/Morrow
Evans/Hamilton/Babbitt or Aminu
Davis/Anderson/Babbitt or Aminu
Hill/Davis/Withey

looks solid. They can still bring Jackson on board or flip him this summer.

Jordan Hill certainly meets my criteria for a big (reasonable foul rate, good rebound rate), and Demps was interested in acquiring him for free, but wouldn't give up an asset for him. I think the problem was we had no available 2nd rounders and they obviously value Pierre Jackson more than a 2nd rounder or he'd have been traded. Basically Jordan Hill was available for $1 and a $5 was the smallest bill we had and the Lakers weren't giving change back.

The Jordan Hamilton situation is more interesting. Do we really like Roberts? Do we not like Hamilton? Did Denver not like Roberts? Not liking Hamilton is a real possibility, Demps has often gone in a very different direction from board consensus.
