Barnes could be that true sf for us, and we get addition by subtraction by moving Gordon in my mind. Bamba leaving would be a loss to my future plans for this team, but it certainly balances this team better. That is if, JI can finally stay healthy and nail down the four spot. We then could draft the best sg and hope he quickly replaces Evan as we let his contract expire.

Respect the heck out of you as a poster, but one of the worst trades on here I've seen. But then again I don't see trading Gordon an addition by subtraction deal so maybe we just disagree on that.
edit-guess I should explain. Barnes plays with basically zero heart and I believe his deal is negative value. To add Bamba or even a 1st is egregious IMO, but I wouldn't do AG for him straight up either (though I get that's subjective). He was just signed to it a few months ago and it was laughed at from every angle. Plus the whole premise of trading Gordon during by far his lowest value is silly to me but I obviously get the advantages too.
I appreciate that and I should explain. I was bored so I went down everyone's roster on hoopshype looking to see who could be available for a trade for us, there isn't much there by the way. I was trying to find someone making enough or overpaid that could use a change of scenery, making the rosters balance for each team because its not like Barnes would even be on the market. So, we would need to offer a sweetner to a team not looking to trade their guys. I'm just brainstorming to see if we can't be more balanced somehow, and yes I would even give up more in a deal in order to do that. That's why I was high on a Wiggins experiment too. No team is going to give us their best player without us gutting our team as well, and if we do that its a start from scratch scenario. We aren't in a position of strength, clearly after the failed attempts at the trade deadline we've been hearing about. I don't know, I just wanted to gauge opinion on here. Thanks for your input.
