Eric Gordon is one of the top defensive players at his position. He is a better player than Kevin Martin IMO.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

I doubt a Gordon trade is doable this year for the Wolves but I would be interested in Dorrell Wright or Klay Thompson (or both) from the Warriors. Seems like they could use a 4/5 and we could use a sharpshooting wing.

Derrick Williams doesn't have a ton of upside, nor is he a good fit with the existing roster.

Given the current roster, I'd trade two of Derrick Williams for Eric Gordon.

I think so....Gordon is a pretty good defender. He guards the best wings and does a pretty decent job with his length and bulk.

We desperately need a player who can create his own shot.

Among neutral trade board fans, responses seemed pretty even

^ How bout that?


Interesting to think that the Wolves winning some games now would make it more likely that NOH pulls off the trade due to the sinking stock of our 2012 pick.


I think Kahn should go after Gordon hard. If we had to take on Okafor and Ariza I wouldn't even be mad.

I'd certainly take on Okafor with Gordon - I think that's a win for both teams.

We'd probably have to move Ridnour/Randolph/Tolliver to match caps. I like two of those three but I think the roster would look a lot more balanced than it does now.
