    I'd trade Eric Gordon for Childish Gambino before I trade him for Parker.

    I think it's just that we've done this enough times now.

    We have a history of buying low on these failed draft picks and it hasn't worked out once for us. Not once.

    Now, I don't blame Morey for trying, if the price is right you take a flyer and hope the guy breaksout for you, but trading Gordon for a flyer...the price ain't right.

    Jabari is not a heck of a player. That is why he is out of the struggling Bulls rotation.

    No because Parker is even worse than Gordon... which is SAD!

    I’m Eric Gordon’s biggest critic but he is worlds better than Jabari Parker

    Unfortunately, Parker’s skill set doesn’t fit today’s NBA. He’s not good enough to be a star and his skill set isn’t designed for a role player. With Parker’s 2019-20 season being a team option, I can see Parker being out of the league sooner rather then later.

    Would gladly bank on the flyer named Markkanen. Nobody will put forward that name.

    What does that have to do with anything? I’m not trading Eric Gordon for Jabari Parker.

    EG for Jamychael Green is not something I want, but I might accept it under the current circumstances.
    EG's shooting will come around. That is one of Memphis' traditional weaknesses. I'm so unhappy to say this.

    don't think it is wasted talent, maybe the media just over rated them at the time. Injuries also don't help

    And the name Jabari had a nice ring to it, unique enough.

    hell no to giving up gordon.

    maybe knight/fillers/pick since parker is basically an expiring contract (team option). removing knight's contract from the books allows us to use the MLE next summer rather than signing only vet min contracts again.

    Nope. I'd do a poopoo platter of broken toys (Knight/Chriss) and maybe throw in a sweetner like Qi or a 2nd to see if the dude could be resurrected... but I have a higher level of belief that EGo will become productive before Jabari will...

    Cut Melo to trade our best bench player for a younger/worst scoring version of Melo? I’ll pass

    As much as I want Gordon gone, I would not do it for Jabari.

    I would trade Eric Gordon for Candace Parker before I trade him for Jabari Parker.
