    I'd LOVE this deal. Bamba is raw and an alley-oop buddy for Harden.

    You could think of AG as a more skilled Jeff Green but you would be wrong.

    Jeff Green is way more skilled than AG.

    Sounds like a Gundy, Clifford connection if this goes down. Maybe

    Morey is due for an under-the-radar kind of value trade, like Lowry, Scola, etc... A Bamba deal would fit the profile. Really, it's the only way they're going to be able to improve this roster. The big money guys all have negative value except for Harden.

    Jeff Green isn’t way more skilled than AG. What makes u say that? I don’t think there’s any real difference between them skill-wise.

    A rotational player that doesn't whiff out of the window when a COVID tester nods during a nasal swab.

    Jeff Green has better handles, better footwork and a better shot.

    It's really not debatable skill wise, Gordon has an ok handle and is basically a straight line driver.

    Not saying Green is a better player but skill wise Green is better.

    disagree that he has better handles or better footwork at all...Gordon is also a better passer, and Green’s shot is a bit better, but Green isn’t a great shooter unless we want to believe that he’s the 43% 3 point shooter he was in this year’s playoffs

    Green is pretty much a straight line driver as well other than the occasional behind the back or spin move



    How is Green way more skilled than what Gordon displayed in this regular highlight video, let alone to the point where it’s not even debatable?

    if anything, Gordon is definitely more skilled than Green



    he would kill as the 4 in a Harden lineup, but oh well, we aren’t getting him

    That video showed exactly on dribbling counter move and Green could pull of any of those passes.





    Green displayed better than that in the series against OKC this year.

    Jerry West has said that Big Men take longer to develop, at least 5 years.

    Mo Bamba has all the skills, plus he added weight from 235 lbs to 250 lbs.

    How is that better than this?



    No Gordon is definitely not more skilled than Green.

    There is a reason Green has stuck around so long.

    Anyway not gonna get into a battle of highlights, but that would only show Gordon has a better vert.

    there’s a lot more I could pull up...Aaron Gordon can do the exact same things Green did in both of those videos
