    Why?

    Okafor - 9 rebounds versus Anderson's 5.4
    Okafor - 0 assists versus Anderson's .6
    Okafor - 0 steals versus Anderson's .3
    Okafor - 2 blocks versus Anderson's .6
    Okafor - 10 pts versus Anderson's 13.3
    Okafor - 0% 3 pt shooting versus Anderson's 37.3% 3 pt shooting

    Reddick <<<<<< Gordon

    again . . WHY would we make this trade?

    This is a trade that I would expect from someone who accidentally escaped CIA fentanyl testing.

    Don't entertain him with logic.

    You should probably throw in Capela, Harden, Ariza, and Zhou to make this trade more realistic.

    Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson are the 2 best players in the trade.

    Great recap, you forgot about Silver trying to undermine Harden with the Harden rule though.

    I
    I think best case scenario WCF... worst case out in the first round. Either way like CP3 said if you aren't first you're last.

    With Ryan Anderson as our 3rd highest payed player we're aren't winning anything

    It's a move for the future... we aren't winning the title this year at least not with Ryan Anderson. JJ CP3 Jahill and Capela all will be free agents along with guys like Lebron, Carmelo, and Paul George.

    Doing this trade will put us in play for two of those guys... maybe even 3 if they all take pay cuts to win.

    First off, Gordon is a much better player than Reddick. Also Reddick doesn't like the role he has to play in Houston. The Rockets already tried aggressively chasing him during Free Agency and he picked Philly over Houston. He will just kill team chemistry.

    Second, You're going to give up all that? Okafor's stock has dropped drastically, he's barely worth a late 1st rounder now. The Sixers aren't even looking for much to move him, just future Second round picks. Plus he can't rebound to save his life. I'm sure Philly would love this trade, you should be their gm.

    i think we can just get okafor in a straight up trade. 2 second rounders? sounds good to me. i'm sure he can develop a three point shot along with that post game.

    Why not just wait until Free Agency and talk to max players and after Rockets have a deal make any trade?

    With Reddick and Okafor instead of Anderson and Gordon, we are winning even less things.
