I think Orlando would do that..
6’9”, 7 wingspan with 35% 3pt percentage, 16pts 8rbs. A little low on the 3pt% but has physicality to guard a LeBron/Davis. He checks out what Spurs need, young and cheap, and can still develop. I’d give Pau, 2 1st rounds to secure him. Come on RC!
I think Orlando would do that..
Spurs have guys to guard James already, and Gordon isn't checking Davis better than Aldridge does.
Pau’s expiring contract, Milutinov rights, Toronto 2019 1st, Spurs 2019 2nd and throw in filler for Gordon and Bamba
Ok, I said Gordon sucks but obviously I don't mean he's complete trash. He's young and does have upside but there are for more intriguing prospects to consider than an overpaid (Imo), soft, inconsistent tweener who isn't particularly good at anything besides dunking. Obviously he can always turn out better in the spurs system but still. He may be able to play at the 3 but like Rudy in today's NBA he is definitely a 4
Everybody knows that. I disagree though, Gordon has enough foot speed and a decent 3-point shot. He can easily play the 3. If you want to go smaller you slot DeRozan in at the 3 and move Gordon to the 4. People said the same about Demarre Carroll yet he moved well and killed us from 3 in the last game. And if you think Dante Cunningham or Rudy Gay are better options to guard LeBron you're re ed
Wouldn't mind this since it nabs us a young prospect with upside in bamba but why would ORL do this trade?
I don't think that is quite enough to get the deal done, but I like the idea of a package for both Gordon and Bamba. Both firsts this year might do it, but we still would need a legit SF. We would have to do another deal, because we would not be able to draft a SF.
Considering you're proposing trading the two picks for Aaron ing Gordon I would assume you're more interested in being a middling treadmill team with overpaid mediocre talent, which is what we already are. Dude doesn't move the needle at all. Lol thinking Gordon is the key to raising another bannerguy can barely make a decent impact on a trash team devoid of talent
“You mean Aaron Gordon, the slam dunk guy?”
Which is basically what he is.
Filler could range from Cunningham, Poindexter level to Walker, Murray and Metu level, whatever would satisfy Orlando and Spurs.
With David’s and Tim’s mentoring and having Dejuan Blair taking Bamba to every Whataburger between San Marcos to Georgetown we might develop something pretty serviceable.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...ch-lowe-expectTaurean Prince makes some sense; he's up for an extension this summer, and the Hawks have made him available, sources say. As a free agent non-destination, the Blazers value players whose rights they can control.But the Hawks are asking a lot so far -- a young player and a pick -- and haven't gotten much traction on Prince trades, sources say.
Yeah watched some of his highlights and seems like more of a dunker, shot blocker only and the Spurs system requires you to have a jumpshot. Has potential though. Still if it's for Gasol's expiring, Cunningham, and say a 1st round pick it might be a good deal.
He’s closer to the next Blake Griffin than he is to just being the dunker guy.
Simmons is having one of the worst seasons in recent NBA history, no hyperbole
It's crazy that Pop turned him into a rotation player..
I doubt the Magic give up Aaron Gordon for two crappy first round picks. It is the Magic though so you never know. Gordon did take a paycut by accepting a contract that decreases over time so they could chase bigger free agents going forward. If they were smart they would trade Ross to any team willing to take Mozgov’s contract. This would free them up to have a single max slot for next year.
If you reread my original post you would see I don’t really like Gordon. This idea of pearl clutching whenever the idea of trading a draft pick for a known NBA quan y is specifically annoying to me.Considering you're proposing trading the two picks for Aaron ing Gordon I would assume you're more interested in being a middling treadmill team with overpaid mediocre talent, which is what we already are.

He makes 6.0M this year and 5.7M next year. That's cheap and we need bodies on the wing. I trust Pop to get him back to what he was his last year in SA/his first year in ORL. I mean he's not my top pick for wings I'd like the Spurs to acquire but I'd take him over paying Gordon 20M for the next three seasons and still having a glaring hole at SF.
Low first's are still an asset lol, especially with the Spurs (Murray, White, Anderson and Hill) giving them away is exactly how a good team turn into Grizzlies with little assets and one of the bleaker teams in terms of outlook.
Gasol isn't costing this team much going forward, $6.7 million next seaso. You want to trade the 21st and 28th pick in order to save this team $7 million?
Well who do you want the Spurs to ship 2 picks and Gasol to, and for whom? You can't complain that posters value first rounders too much and then not offer up a deal where it would make sense to do so.
If y'all want that type of big body tweener and are willing to give up both 1st Rounders wouldn't it make sense to go after Julian Randle instead? Much friendlier deal and the better player. He'll probably get a max deal or close to it after next season though.
People said Carroll couldn't guard perimeter players anymore. Last game didn't seem to prove he could. Anyway, the Spurs faced Lebron four times this season and did their jobs. Folks are crazy to act like he's been a problem for the team this year. You're apparently hoping for a LAL playoff series to justify this trade, but not only is it not even guaranteed that big, bad Lebron even makes the playoffs this year, it's also pretty apparent that Gordon really isn't a good defensive player anyway.
The only reason the Magic have any wins this year is because of Nikola Vucevic, who is playing like a legit all star. Vucevic averages more points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks than Aaron Gordon, with a better FG%, 3ptFG%, and FT%. I'd rather start Davis Bertans at SF than Gordon, who is vastly overpaid.

I don't think you appreciate how valuable firsts are in the NBA. 20 and 26 can get a lotto pick, so unless you also think lotto picks should be traded for just okay players, it doesn't make sense to criticize them like they're nothing. Second, how often do you think multiple firsts are actually traded? It's not that common, even for stars. George, Kawhi, Butler, Paul and Irving all went for one pick or no picks. The Mavs gave up multiple picks for Doncic and Porzingas, but the former was a trade-up in the draft and the latter was a much bigger gamble than people acknowledge.
Second, unless you think White and Murray are just blech players, it doesn't make sense to piss on the Spurs' ability to use those picks to get better than "known NBA quan ies". It's not an accident that the team gets "steals" every year. If they see the forward equivalents of Murray and White (say KZ Okpala and Brandon Clarke), I'd rather let them decide how badly they want to keep their picks.
Who reported any thing on Aaron Gordon? Or just thoughts
