I only watched the first minute of that and I counted about 8 fouls on Monty.

Well I guess it's what's your interpretation of "getting worked" is.

There's a guy on RealGM saying there has been a deal on the table for an Austin Rivers/Ekpe Udoh swap for weeks.


I just went and looked at Udoh's camera tracking data and he's actually a decent rim protector with numbers similar to AD. But he's a TERRIBLE rebounder. And at his age I don't see much upside. It makes no sense to trade for Udoh with Withey and Ajinca on the roster.

Austin Rivers/Ekpe Udoh


Upside fellas, upside

Plus, Udoh's contract expires this year. Rivers still has 2 more years on his.

I don't ever want to hear upside.
Aminu had upside, JuJu had upside, tons of guys have upside. I don't want upside

and the fact that we have Rivers for two more years on contract where he's making 2.3 million a year makes it more appealing to keep him.
He plays great defense, where as Roberts is a terrible defender, and i'm sure Pierre will be just as bad, and he has shown the last two years that he can get to the rim whenever he wants, and he's actually finishing this year.

I will be extremely pissed off he we get rid of him for nothing. Unless he's being traded with EG or someone else where we get someone really good back, i will not like it.

Udoh would be an expiring. The last thing this team needs is another limited big. They need wings in the worst way.

Rivers/Steimsma for Dudley/Bullock?

If they trade Rivers and leave me watching Roberts with no hope of him being replaced I will be highly disappointed.

Ben Gordon is an expiring contract. We would get out from EG's contract and have a lot of cap space.

I'm not sure you do. Trading Gordon for an expiring doesn't just get you a bum, it gets you cap space to use in the offseason on a free agent or to absorb a trade like we did with Holiday.

The choice isn't Gordon or the bum, it's Gordon or 1 Starter level player or 2 Mid Level players.
