Tyreke needs to start at SG

He's definitely proven me wrong...as a starter he's unquestionably better than Gordon. Really, this team + Jrue and Anderson - Gordon is probably the best unit that can be put out there.

no shite, fa real?

He and Jrue should take turns handling the ball. Jrue is a good catch and shoot guy so I think they can play together.

How is a team without Gordon just better than having him.
The below line up would obviously be our best rotation when healthy. What is a potential Gordon trade yielding that makes the Pelicans better?
Holiday
Gordon
Evans
Anderson
Davis

The trade itself would probably not bring much. The cap space would be key.

frick you frick you frick you.
Gordon needs to GTFO ASAP. His cap dollars could be used to add a 3 or a 5 and put us in really good shape long term.

Regardless of what people think of Gordon or his salary, you're right.

Who says we are just going to be able to unload Gordon and not take back shite contracts?
My point is while Gordon has a big contract he is still a starting caliber player. I think if they could have just unloaded Gordon they would have already done it.

Can we just cut Gordon after the season. Is that a possibility?
Posted on 3/24/14 at 10:04 pm to danman6336
All contracts in the NBA are guaranteed
Posted on 3/24/14 at 10:07 pm to danman6336
Chances of cutting Gordon are slim.
$14m a season for two seasons in dead money at worst, five seasons of just under $6m in dead money at best.
We are better off trading him or letting him play out his contract.

Gordon isn't even having a bad season. Honestly I think the guy gets shafted by the refs regularly when it come to drawing fouls. The commentators constantly mention it. He is averaging his lowest FT rate in his career. If he gets to the line just a little more his percentages would drastically improve and he would score probably another 2-3 pts/game.
Also his role on the team is different while his percentages and averages dictate he isn't really playing worse than the prospect we expected. He has also been extremely healthy this season.
I obviously think it would be awesome if we could just dump his contract and sign a player like Gortat in the offseason; however, highly doubtful that is even close to possible.

If Gordon improved his ball-handling, even with his diminished explosiveness, he could still be a very effective player.
But as of now, he is just very clunky and sloppy on the court at times...if he ever wants to rejuvenate his career, ball-handling is where it starts and ends.

Defense. Add a lengthy wing, who can hit 3's and stay in front of people. Or add a big, shot blocking hell-fiend next to AD who doesn't even have to be good offensively and that shores up the Pels best 5 lineup deficiencies

Reke turns the ball over to much to handle it that much.

Tyreke TO% 14%
Jrue TO% 17.9%
Granted Jrue had a rough start to the year TO wise and Tyreke hasn't been playing PG exclusively, but both are about in line with their career numbers. Austin Rivers is probably the best ball protecting ball handling guard with a 12.0% TO%. For reference CP3's career TO% number is 13%, so Tyreke is not as turnover prone as he might seem. And the BSS recap last night had a good point that 4 of Tyreke's 7 turnovers last night came when he was playing with Aminu and Stiemsma so Brooklyn could pack the paint on him.

Jrue's turnover issues are overstated and have been for a while.
When you job is to pass, you turn the ball over. Ast%/Tov% for Jrue is fine, and improved through the season, as was expected.
Both a just over 2:1 in that key ratio, but Jrue does it at a higher volume since it is his job to be the primary passer more often. They are likely about equal and both capable of being point guards in term of passing ability and smarts.

Right, but my basic point was Tyreke and even Gordon aren't as bad as they seem. The problem, espeically with Gordon, is so many of the turnovers are unforced errors so they stand out in our minds.
