20 mils too much for a 12 ppg guy on bad %'s who's only an average defender overall. Out.
20 mill
18 mill
16 mill

I'm all in about Gordon, of all the candidates is the younger and give us athleticism and defense, which we lack.
Aldrige is a great ofensive weapon but on defense is slow and not so good.
Do you guys really think Magic will trade Gordon? If is a yes is a no brainer for me.
I don't like gordon. I know this boards loves him because he kills us everytime, but on a night in night out basis, the frustration will ensue. And his contract will be huge, I'm out.

They also have the Grizzlies ahead of the Spurs, 29 wins to 28, and Warriors last.
Figures Warriors will get like a top 6 pick and Curry and Klay back.

So we'll have a chance to win the lottery!
Jokes aside, I believe once we're back at full strenght, we are better than 2 of the 3 ahead of us here. Thunder most likely will trade 1-2 vets around the deadline, and will tank a bit. Wolves is KAT and nothing else, although they will be buyers at hthe deadline. I still don't trust the Blazers, paper thin up front, and somehow Dame and CJ are not as forceful as they were last couple of years.

We'll see. I thought we'd probably make it before last night's loss. Just seems we find ways to lose and that Booker is injury prone...and a lot of our players seem to be. I do agree that if the Thunder become sellers, obviously they finish behind us, but that remains to be seen. A lot of people expect this trade season to be tame because no one has cap space.
We are better than Minnesota I think. I think Portland will probably rise up though. I though they might be too far behind, but if this is projecting us with the same record, Lillard and company just have so much experience that I won't be surprised if they go on a run to get ahead of us. They would with Nurkic. I know their team has changed, so they have gone from me thinking they would be behind us to maybe 50/50.
The Kings - I have no idea with them, but in that other poll I picked them and us. I think they have a slightly better chance. With the Pelicans, it feels they have too much ground to give up, and it depends on Zion and their injuries. They are about even with us with them missing Zion and Favors and us missing Ayton, so who is helped more with their return? Most I'm sure would say them. They have been extremely thin up front. I know we have too but they are playing Ingram at PF with a rookie C..
No idea about the Spurs and why they are so low.
My guess is if Thunder stay together they finish ahead of us.
Blazers, Kings and us are a toss up. Blazers likely make a trade.
Still tough to guess.
Obviously it depends on how much of a game changer he is. Even if he just plays like last year he makes us better, at least offensively. Not better defensively than when Baynes was starting and we were a top defensive team, but since they are deciding to bring him off the bench he would help.
But mainly in getting rebounds and not allowing other team to get offensive rebounds. Hopefully he grabs some offensive rebounds for us too

I like Favors, but his lack of a 3 might clog the middle, unless decides he's going to shoot it. but then again, I'd rather see Ayton more mid to inside.
Unless they get something good, namely a backup pg (Mills, Augestin), I'm standing pat for at least 10 games to see where the current roster is.
