Batman?

Nothing new here.

He'd fit in well. We'd finally have a go to scorer that this team is currently lacking.

Been saying it for a while, but we are going to throw a max at Eric Gordon. He's the closest thing to a potential all-star that we actually have a chance of signing.

We'll probably be associated with Batum as well, but would be shocked if the Blazers don't do everything to keep him.

There are many issues with this. I agree he'd be a good fit, but the problem is he's simply proven to be too injury prone throughout his career. Add in the fact that he's RFA so we're going to have to overpay and contend with teams like Indy who are more favored since that's his home town, and we might have to SUPER overpay. That means if he gets injured, we're stuck with a bloated, long contract for a player that isn't on the court. Is it worth it? Probably not.

Of course, we could work wonders and he could be relatively healthy over the life of his contract, but he'll still be overpaid. He hasn't played all season so he'd be getting paid for what he did last year on a team that had no one outside of Griffin. I like him, don't get me wrong, but considering all that, I think it'll be far better for us to just re-sign Hill/Nash and one of Redd/Brown and go from there.

^Agreed. Might as well sign Greg Oden with him.

Wait, on second though, who isn't an Eric Gordon fan? He's humble, always says the right stuff, doesn't complain (we're looking at you, Chris Paul), and is fearless on the court.

I don't see why Utah wouldn't be a contender - they need upgrade at guard and have so many young assets it's not funny.

They could offer Favours, Burks, and 2 lotto picks this year and still be a deep team.

Harris, Tinsley
Gordon, Bell
Hayward, Miles
Milsap, Evans
Jefferson, Kanter

I think Utah is expecting favors to take the starting spot up front from millsap or Jefferson. Favors was the primary piece they got back for deron Williams so they won't be letting him go too easily.

Yup. Im hearing they might play Milsap at SF and let Favors take over starting PF. Trade Jefferson and get Kanter to play C.

Eric Gordon won't be a Sun until he's in his late 30's.
