    Big Yes. I’d love Butler. Few players would excite me as much as landing him,

    Heck, I’m almost to the point of throwing in Shelby.

    PJ Tucker is the (fan) "holdup", not Gordon.

    The roster needs an overhaul, smarter younger faster athletic players are missing on this roster. Showcase and trade Brandon Knight, Bad Contracts need to be gone especially Nene needs to be traded, he hasn't been the same since his playoff injury 2 seasons ago.

    Trade
    Eric Gordon, P.J Tucker for Jimmy Butler
    Brandon Knight for anotther 3 and D wing Small Forward
    Nene
    James Ennis
    MCW
    Carmelo Anthony
    Marquesse Chriss

    Expensive Salaries
    Eric Gordon, P.J. Tucker, Brandon Knight, Nene all need to be traded

    Our guys need to start playing like a proper team with intelligence and a fighting spirit. Gordon's trade value is low right now. I would trade him for Butler, but I will be sad to see him go.

    at this point we may has well... our chemistry has already been destroyed over the Tomball Jimmy drama, pissing off Bzdelik so he bailed and our letting Ariza and Luc walk...

    so, if we got confidence he will re-sign... may as well deal for the diva at this point... our team chemistry has already been pissed away.... smh...

    maybe someday we'll figure out that chemistry matters... and 'cornerstones' aren't just the superstars...

    If we are trading Gordon then we need to get Taj somehow too.

    Great deal except you cant trade Ennis, Melo, or MCW given they were signed as free agents and not acquired via trade like Chriss and Knight.

    would be nice if word got out that we are going after AD... especially with Capela sporting that yellow crown in his hair.

    LMAO, what kind of question is this?!?

    I’ve had absolutely no issue getting rid of Gordon for Butler from day 1. Get Gordon up outta here and bring JB home...

    Paul for Bev and Harrell
    Melo for Ariza
    Keep Ryan Anderson because it turns out he actually did space the floor

    Bev Melton MCW
    Harden Gordon Bobby brown
    Ariza green ennis
    Tucker Anderson Qi
    Capela Harrell Hartenstein
