re: Sounds more and more like Pels are committed to Gordon, at least for now.

A lineup of Gordon Holiday Evans Anderson and Davis, our hypothetical closing lineup, would have plenty of shooting

And Ryan Anderson is ranked 47th for Rebounding Rate among Power Forwards, just above Dirk and Antawn Jamison. He had opportunities to get more boards.

luol deng is not that good, if anyone thinks the bulls wouldnt dump him ur insane. jimmy butler is younger, faster, more athletic, and can defend. adding gordon would make them serioussssss.. deng is getting washed up and isnt his deal almost up?

We have gotten Gordon close to in shape finally. Let's see what we have before we ship him off at a huge discount. He is talented enough to send out there with a suddenly very talented squad and see what happens. If we start winning, we may win over EG completely and vice versa. I'm gonna let it ride.

And "we" have some "fans" that are "looking to trade" Gordon. Maybe you can all hook up on XBox Live...


I've heard this "xbox" insult thrown around a lot. Is that supposed to be some kind of counter to my argument or is it just more immature BS?

Just because someone is a fan, they're opinion doesn't matter? Fans pay the salaries. Many owners are also fans.

Deng trades have been rumored for a while. LINK

Here's one article about how Chicago drafted a SF and has been slowly pushing Deng out. I didn't read it, so I don't know how reputable it is.

The point is, he's not an untouchable like Durant. Chicago has had "talks" with him about contract extensions but obviously don't love him enough to sign him to a max right now.

Jimmy Butler is on a contract, on their roster and is 6'7". He has shown that he can play SF and defend other SFs.

I'm trying to contribute some possible trades to the interwebs that MIGHT improve our team.

Also, Evans isn't part of this team yet. Some other team could go crazy and offer him $14 million or the Kings could match. Until the front office knows for certain I doubt you'd see them throw Gordon under the bus publicly. So, yeah, you're going to see this 'Evans as a SF' and 'rotational' propaganda being spouted. Stuff like this is leaking to the media for a reason and it's not to placate fans.



My guess it's to placate Gordon or to they to ward off the Pels offer.

Settle down, Nancy. I just meant that you could make a trade happen in NBA2K13 or whatever they're calling it this year. The trade is very unlikely to be proposed in the real world because neither team really benefits clearly and trades create entropy on your roster. Trades for the sake of a trade are a very slippery slope.

entropy- like the pelicans, with their new acquisitions, has been very ordered? I'd say they've been in a state of flux since the cp3 trade and the Benson acquisition.

The Bulls haven't had their franchise player for a season and their starting PG in robinson is gone. They've wanted Boozer gone for a while.

Just been insulted here enough.
