Aaron Gordon: 24yo
20/21: 18.1
21/22: 16.4

15 or higher. Good player but non shooters have to be carefully evaluated for a fit on your team and I just don’t see the great upside.

Your reasons make me regret my top 8 vote LMFAO!!

I will post it here because it has been posted so many times on RGM...

Wolves Trade:
#16
JJ (expiring)

FOR

A. Gordon
Magic Trade:

And if push came to shove, I think Wolves throw in #33 OR Vanderbilt OR Evans.

Trade makes just too much sense for both teams.

#15 frp and expiring contract

In most drafts I might agree that it makes sense but I dislike this draft class enough that I'd rather trade out of it than add a pick in the same range our own pick will be in.

I wouldn't personally trade a lottery pick for him. I picked #14 solely because he's a great fit with Portland and I could see that swap happening. Not sure how the salaries line up though

I like this one as well.

I said 14 but I think Gordon could get a higher pick in this weak class. The best thing about Gordon is I don't think he will get 80 million on his next deal; so resigning could be good value.

this draft is awful..ag is a solid 2-way player..if you only go by points ?..lol... i dont see many guys in this draft i would say will score more for sure as third option like ag..a few maybe? .rb,ast and play and switch on d like him..funny for me to see the votes over 14..just who would you put that will be better then ag..really i mean magic pick 15 so who can they get that will be better? for sure that you would trade him for?

POR passes.

Would rather draft a player that can shoot and defend at sf.

Hard to say at this point.

Nesmith?

Would rather take a chance on a rookie than AG.

Everyone wants to draft a player who can shoot and defend at SF. They don't grow on trees though and most teams are reaching for them all draft long. I like Saddiiq Bey as a player that could be a sleeper. He is not athletic but he is fundamentally sound. You are not going to find a lot of hyped up players who can defend and shoot in this draft; especially small forwards.

I think Gordon for 14 is good value so long as you want to keep him. Otherwise keep and use your pick.

To Magic: Culver + Vanderbilt + #33

To Memphis: JJ + Evans + #16

To Wolves: A. Gordon + Winslow (or Brooks)

Now, this is Wolves going all-in, and not sure they are willing to move on from Culver after one year, but????

Magic get a little more value than #16 by way of what is Culver who was drafted #6 overall.

Memphis takes another chance in the draft.

Are we assuming it's just Gordon for a pick and no money coming back? If so, I'd have his value as a late first. If it's with some salary coming back, mid first.

I'd agree that Saddiq Bey would be a likely solid option in that role. Maybe a Patrick Williams develops the shot to grow into it?

I really think Gordon is a match made heaven for the Bulls.
Something like Felicio, Sato, #7 for Gordon and their pick (20' or 21') is fair value.

I know several fans who are high on Patrick as a sleeper also. Okoro looks to be the cream athletically but he cannot shoot ( so far ). This is just a bad draft to be looking for 3D Small Forwards. I am sure someone will hit and that's why its called a lottery.
