What if we could get Demarvus Cousins as backup C, and to play occasional minutes next to Wood? I really wish he would consider joining us...
House+Clemons+2 2nd rounders for Nerlens Noel. Noel/Boogie Wood/Tate Brown/Nwaba/ Harden/Bmac Wall/Gordon
The answer is Aaron Gordon. Question #1: starting 4 Question #2: back up PG Question #3: small ball 5
I wanted him back when we had CP3 and Harden. That would have been a pretty damn good trio. I think he would complement nicely with Wood and Wall post-Harden era.
AG and Harden would be crazy insane together. And Wood's skills/game complements them both extraordinarily well.
Ramona Shelbourne said there are “at least 6 offers for James Harden”, which are good. I don’t know what her definition of good value is for James Harden, but if he still wants out the offers are probably not close to asking price.
I’m addition to Cousins, smart ass. Besides, it’s not like Cousins is known for his defense. I looked around and maybe the Knicks make Noel available around the deadline. If the Rockets are in contention and Bruno doesn’t develop then I can see the Rockets going for him.
"Good" for her means a box of eclairs. "Great" would be her locked in container of eclairs dressed in nothing but whipped cream.
I can guess those six offers: Sixers: Harris, Thybulle and a bunch of 1sts Celtics: Brown, Smart, and only two 1sts because Ainge is a doucebag. Might even be heavily protected 1sts Denver: Harris, Barton, and picks Brooklyn: Lavert, Prince, Dinwidde pre-ACL tear and picks Cleveland: Love, one of Garland/Sexton and picks Miami: Iguodala, Olynyk, Duncan Robinson, Achiuwa, Nunn and picks Basically the shittiest offer each team could send for now as it does not include any player of significance outside of Jaylen Brown.
I'll do you one better: Boston receives James Harden Houston receives Jaylen Brown, Aaron Gordon, 2 Firsts from Boston Orlando receives Marcus Smart, 2 Firsts from Houston via Boston That's a solid trade and fills every team's need(s).
With the Magic now running more of their offense through Gordon, he has started to rack up assists at career-best levels. In his past 10 games, Gordon has averaged a whopping 6.1 assists a night – a number much higher than the 2.3 assists he’s averaged for his career. Gordon averaged a career-best 3.7 assists a game last season, and his average for this season is up to 3.5 following a slow start that possibly could be attributed to injuries to his ankle, Achilles’ tendon and calf muscle. https://www.nba.com/magic/magic-taking-advantage-aaron-gordons-playmaking-abilities-20200229 https://www.nba.com/magic/news/gordon-has-become-very-good-passer-season-20190126 AG is not just 6'8 with guard skills and is an elite iso defender 1-5. But he can also do this just for the hell of it.
Honestly, that is not a bad trade at all. Win-win-win for sure. But giving up EGo and FRP to team up Harden-Wood-AG would be my first choice all day any day. No hesitation.
Wall / Brown Harden / McLemore Tate Nwaba Wood / Cousins That’s your rotation without Gordon, House and Tucker...those are your salaries for matching. Rockets 2021 1st Portland 2021 1st (lottery protected) Detroit 2021 1st (top 16 protected) Washington 2023 1st (lottery protected) And these are your picks to spend. The goal should be to improve the defense and add a playmaker. Gordon, House, Clemons, Detroit 1st, Washington 1st for Jerami Grant Sign Demar Derozan after he agrees to a buyout from the Spurs Wall / Brown Harden / McLemore Tate / Nwaba Grant / Tucker Wood / Cousins
