Who says no??

We MIGHT have to flip our #16 pick for Charlotte's #4 pick.

Thoughts??

P.S.  PP clearly gets bought out for the $5 million.

They say no. Charlotte can amnesty Ty Thomas.

It'd be great if it went down though.

Not bad, but Thomas and Gordon are on long-ish deals that we'd be stuck with.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Most fans seemed psyched with the possibiliy of acquiring the #13 from the Mavs for Pierce...I think it's obvious to say that this would be even better.

I don't know if Charlotte will be willing to do this.

BG is also an expiring and while Tyrus has been a disaster, I don't think they'll easily part ways with No.4.

I personally like the deal though. We can amnesty Tyrus, let Gordon's contract run out and have the #4, we're talking Alex Len, Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller.

Yeah a lottery pick for Pierce is something you have to do.

So why does Charlotte do this? To get rid of Gordon? At the expense of a lottery pick?

We could include Bass to entice them.

Bass is a positive for a team like Charlotte?

Oh yes, they would not want a +11 Eff. Rated Playoff performer.

Charlotte wants talent far more than they need to dump salary as they showed in their willingness to take on Gordon's big money for a draft pick. 

They wouldn't even think of doing this.

Wha.....what?

Okay, I understand people are desperate, but this much homerism is making my brain much.

Ben Gordon is actually an expiring. I think there's some kind of option tied to his final year. Anyway, I would be for this deal.

Thomas has a mean style of play (kinda like Perk) which is exactly what we need.

Boston would have to include 16 and either Bradley or Sullinger and then it might happen.
