AB or Avery Bryant has turned into a chucker this year. If he has a good game , he will go 11-22 and only score 22 points. Not many 3 point shots, rarely goes to the line, rarely passes the ball.
AB also wants 8-10 million a year. Ainge is not going to give him that deal
We have to prepare to move fwd without Bradley for the long term. Now the idea i presented is just an idea. Not one i'm praying for
Eric Gordon has scored several 30 plus point games this year. He is still young and very skilled (contract is a definite bummer).
IF danny wanted to try to make the playoffs, i would think Gordon and Stimsma would give us a better chance then AB/Bass.
Several points here. First AB isn't a "chucker". He's on a team with virtually no offensive options and he's undersized at his position. Green is gun shy, Sully is undersized and we have had no true PG to speak of. Let's not cast an unfair moniker on AB just because he's been in the midst of a rebuild.
Second, AB may want 8-10M/yr but he's not going to get it. He's probably worth about what Courtney Lee is. 20M/4yrs or 18M/3yrs sounds about right.
Third, I doubt Danny would part with a 2014 pick for anything short of an all-star. Certainly not for the corpse of Eric Gordon.
I'm with Roy on this one. New Orleans has to takes back Wallace but I'd be willing to trade the Clipper 1st in 2015, top-10 protected.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=n4eun6gWe have most of that money tied up in Wallace anyway and we can send him to NO by trading them a 1st round pick. They get the pick for taking Wallace and they get AB for Gordon.
I'm pretty nonplussed about this trade so if NO said no I'd be just as happy to keep AB and the pick. I do think Gordon is worth taking a flier on. He has a very troubling injury history but it's not like we're getting production out of Wallace.
