Great deal for the Hornets. Eric Gordon is a stud to build around and they have all the financial flexibility in the world
You've got to think if you can get anything around pick 15 for Splitter you'd do it. There's so many potentially good bigs in this draft. You might have the opportunity to draft someone younger, more athletic, with higher upside. Splitter's talented no doubt, but I almost think he's more fit for European play. That's not disregarding basketball in Europe, that's just saying it's a different style of play.

I like Splitter...but pull the trigger if possible. Please.
"Has to have" isn't strong enough; absolutely, unequivocally has, is more like it. And significantly so. You're still undervaluing him at 12-14. 10-12 is more like it.
Blair could very well be worth a late 1st, but if he's not, he's worth two 2nds, at least one of which within' the first five picks. Neal is probably worth an early 2nd.
Amazing trade for the Wizards. They really ripped them off imo.
I wish we could've traded for those guys.
I think it's terrible for New Orleans though because they could've gotten a of a lot more than that for Okafor. Lewis is garbage and ridiuclously overpriced. His contract is toxic too since he's practically 6x overpaid at this point and getting nearly as much as Kobe.
Okafor is worth 5x as much as Lewis imo. Much cheaper, and at least 3x better on the floor. So they can simply trade him and get plenty back, keep him and have a great frontcourt rotation, or trade one of their other, inferior bigs and keep Okafor.
Just proves my point when I was saying Blair is worth a of a lot more than getting packaged with a second rounder for a mere 27th pick. Told you guys that was a dumb idea. . .
If Budinger can get an 18th round pick, Blair can at least get a 20th-22nd pick imo. By himself.
i would like to flip splitter and blair for john henson.
No. Okafor has a multi-year terrible contract. Lewis is on the last year of his terrible contract. That's why New Orleans made the deal and it was a great deal for them.
What teams are in the draft that would want splitter?
And what players might be available at those picks that would be a good spurs fit
Boston, Indiana & possibly Golden State.
Portland #11 or Buck #12, seem like the best fits for Splitter.
Portland in particular because Lamarcus Aldridge has said he doesn't like playing the 5, and if they want a chance at Nash they are going to have to show that the team isn't in rebuild mode.
Dude needs to put on some muscle, but he's basically Unibrow-lite. I like it.
I want Andre Drummond myself if we can get him. If not, I would be cool with Meyers Leonard, John Henson, or Perry Jones.
I don't think splitter gets a lottery pick because there are better Cs in the lottery than him. Why trade for splitter when you can take Leonard or Henson?

Detroit has traded Ben Gordon and a protected future first-round pick to Charlotte for Corey Maggette, league sources tell Y! Sports.

For Detroit, deal to ship out Gordon saves them nearly $15 million on the final two years of his contract. Maggette has an expiring deal.

The deal sends Detroit's 2013 first-round pick to Charlotte with lottery protection, sources tell Y!

Weird trade for the Bobcats.
Even the Golden State FO thinks that Charlotte spent too much to acquire that 1st round pick.
We keep talking about amnestying or trading bonnet. The only thing we can do is wait for jax's and manu's contracts to expire after this season. Don't expect huge moves. Well probably retain Diaw and Green and bring in lorbek but that's about it
Golden State absorbed ~$12 million for the 30th pick in the draft.
Charlotte absorbed $15 million for a shot at a lottery lottery pick a couple years from now.
Charlotte made the better trade out of those two ... but not a very good trade unless Gordon still has some value left.
The did I just read.
Well, first Charlotte needs to worry about getting OUT of the lottery if they want that pick, tbh.
He thinks you think he doesn't know what you think you know...I think.
