    No to Gordon.
    Beasley is much better.

    This would restore hope that the team could be competitive next season with a Harden-Vucevic core. The team is clearly thinking more about winning now than building for the future, so it might be worth overpaying with future first-rounders to get a deal done, especially since Vucevic is young. That isn't Morey's style, but then again, neither was paying Ryan Anderson $80 million.

    Don't trust any so called "insider" that would incorrectly use "their, there or they're" #falseprophet lol

    Would be awesome if we got Vuc, but I don't see it happening.

    Aaron Gordon would be a steal for the Rockets. And he would really thrive in this system. Heck he would be like the Matrix(Shawn Marion)...in his PHX days...

    I would love Aaron Gordon. Magic would be absolutely STUPID to trade him. They can keep Vucevic who is basically Greg Monroe with a little more defense and jumpshot.

    If it were NBA_Updates14 I wouldn't trust it, but NBA_Updates15 is rock solid.

    That's a good point. Vince Carter has worn 15, it's a solid NBA number. Jeff Hornacek wore 14 and that number is full of b.s.

    I don't believe the Aaron Gordon trade talk - he's too promising at this stage...and even if it were true, Houston doesn't have near enough assets to make it happen.
