Logical deadline deal: Hump for Gordon & 1st

[LarBrd33]

There's no way you give up an expiring bum for another expiring bum and get a free 1st rounder out of it.

Completely delusional.  /endthread

Can you also end threads like that when someone proposes giving up a non-expiring bum for an expiring bum and getting a free first rounder out of it?

/reopenthread

How dare you refer to Rajon Rondo as a non-expiring bum.

/endthread

Just kidding around.  I do think this thread title is misleading, though... most people will assume you're talking about Eric Gordon.  The Pelicans are trying to dump Gordon so theoretically would take an expiring contract for him. 

Humph is nothing more than an expiring contract.  The Charlotte Bobcats have an equal asset in BEN Gordon... It makes no sense for the Bobcats to trade their expiring contract for a different expiring contract, but give up assets in the process.

If you want a 1st out of the Bobcats, propose something like Rondo for Gordon's expiring, a #1 and a young player like Biyombo or MKG.  Or perhaps Jeff Green for Gordon and a lotto protected 1st if you're someone who thinks Green has trade value.

It would actually be me who would have done the misleading. I'll try to change the title above... though you could of course just open it and read it to extract the contents... which you've clearly done at this point. Nonentheless, my bad.

By the way, Gordon is an *******, a guard, and never plays. Hump isn't, is much taller, and he plays... with a PER of around 19, in fact. So they're not equal assets. It's not totally out of the realm of possibility that a team like Charlotte (with a thin front court) might acquire the guy to actually play... especially in exchange for of a guy who never does, and in place of, well, bums.

Is he a huge asset? No. Is the 25th pick in the draft a huge asset to a team tired of trying to build through the draft... a team with only 4 guys making more than the average rookie scale? Probably not.

If they want Humph for a playoff push, he's probably worth a 2nd.

  Gordon makes more than Humphries, I don't think we'd make the trade straight up for just a second rounder.
