All-Star Weekend trade rumble: Charlotte's growing determination to move Ben Gordon has presented Toronto w/another Andrea Bargnani suitor

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Sense I get, though, is that Toronto ain't gonna bite on Bargs-for-Gordon deal. Raps have Terrence Ross & Alan Anderson playing well there

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Gordon easier to take back $-wise than Boozer w/one less year on deal, but Raps unlikely to just trade ex-No. 1 overall pick for sake of it

not really a fan of this, Bargs is basically the euro Mullens, so unless they throw in a young guy like Terrence Ross, maybe.

Just for the f*ck of it: Byron Mullens shot a career average of 0.340 from the floor (16 of 47) when we acquired him, so that don't have to mean anything. What's more interesting is that Maynor shoots 27% of his shots from 3-point range (230 out of 855), that's a lot compared to Sessions' 8% (256 out of 3,366). That's not only a reason for Maynor's below average shooting percentage, but it also shows that he is confident in his 3-point shot (a career average of 0.348 isn't bad). Also; Maynor gets 10,6 mpg this season, on a team that will contend for the title, as Russell Westbrook's backup. If that doesn't say he's good, I don't know what will.

Eric Maynor was a very good backup until he blew out his knee last year. This season he's lost his spot in the rotation to Reggie Jackson and won't be brought back next year, as Jackson will still be on his rookie deal. Maynor's an expiring contract who can be easily had in free agency this summer.

Bargnani is a much better scorer than Mullens is, although he doesn't rebound as well. If Byron had put together a string of seasons like the last few years Bargs has we'd be hearing things like "franchise forward" thrown around on this board. He'd help the team just by evening things out in the rotation and opening lanes up for MKG and the guards. Not a franchise-changer, but if you can get him on the cheap he'd help some.

It looks like the Clippers and Utah are discussing an Eric Bledsoe for Paul Millsap swap. It seems to me like Sessions would be able to help Utah more than Bledsoe, even though Bledsoe is a much younger player.

Would y'all send Sessions out in exchange for Millsap?

[Roon]

If I were the Jazz I would rather have Bledsoe.

?

He is averaging 3 more points a game than Mully. He is rebounding at literally half the amount that Mully is rebounding. he is older and he gets paid 11 million per year. Charlotte Mully and First Two years Bargs numbers are very very similiar. Mullens can do anything Bargs would do for us and more and make WAY WAY WAY WAY less money doing it. And his potential is on an upward curve where as Bargs if anything is declining. Not a franchise changer, and getting him on the cheap is literally impossible when he makes 10.75 mil per over the next 3 years.


Bargnani better not get anywhere near this team. Its the worst trade imaginable in my opinion.

The bucks have been linked to trading for JJ Redick for Mbah a Moute and a first round pick. They say the Bucks would like to find a home for Monta Ellis. There would be a second scoring option. Could trade Henderson and expiring contact Diop for Ellis! What is your thoughts on that? Then of course we would have to move Gordon!

[Felton for Prez]

pass. to me, he's basically an older kemba with a bad attitude.

This...plus much more expensive...the OKC-like rebuild project is not about bringing in fat contracts.

I'm fine with bringing in a big contract that is still a good investment, but Monta's is not one of them.

the rumors are for josh smith. don't think the glorious package of diop and hendo would tickle their fancy.
