in it, the jazz traded him for another former clipper guard. turns out, realgm likes it too.

Too bad it's only a dream.

Seriously, if I had a dream about Jefferson I would make an appointment with a shrink, like first thing after I woke up!

I hate the trade. Al is way better....stat-wise. The points match up but the rebounds from a big man need to equal assists for a guard 10 rebounds is way better to 3 assists. That needs to be around 7 or 8 assists.

Or second choice replacement: 3 point shooting needs to at least be better than 37% and has dropped every year the past 4 years down to 27% last year. yuck.

Keep dreaming

That would be a fantastic trade for the Jazz, but I can't see it happening.

I did that very same trade in NBA 2K12 and Gordon sucked on the Jazz, couldn't hit a three to save his life......

haha. yeah. gotta love dreams, especially about my teams. i also remember during boozers mysterious hammy injury that i dreamed the jazz traded him for joe johnson. it would have been johnsons first or second year with the hawks.

i agree, trading jefferson for gordon would not make the jazz much better. jazz have plenty of guards already, and i am not so sure eric gordon would be THAT much of a step up from any of them. i did find it humorous when i woke up, that my brain selected another former clipper guard to bring on.

maybe after this year, the jazz can sign chris paul

Eric Gordon is, to me, one of the future most-overrated players in the league. He's never had a 20+ PER year. He is a terrible rebounder from the 2, not a good enough facilitator to be a primary creator for a team, nothing special as a defender and not really that great a shooter. He's hasn't been particularly efficient as a scorer (though he's been good) and provides good but not elite volume. To me, he's a 9m a season player, but he's getting the max. Sounds like a younger and perimeter version of Al Jefferson, so its fitting they would be traded for each other.

No way I want to take on that contract, although I do think it would make us a better team next year.
