 Into Boston. Eric Gordon.

 Out  Brandon bass, Avery Bradley, And Gerald Wallace. Plus Clippers Pick.

 14.3 million in, and 19 million out, Works.

 If we could make the move without the Clippers pick I'd do it quick. With the pick I'm not sure. Thoughts.

  Much as I'd like it I don't see why they'd trade an overpaid player for a much more overpaid player.

That's actually not a bad trade, honestly.

It actually saves us money next year since Bass + Wallace = 17 mil as-is... and then when you add Bradley's extension, you're talking possibly another 6-8 mil on top of that.  Replacing that with Gordon's 14 mil makes some sense.   It actually opens up another 5 mil in cap space next summer... I think it puts us to 38 mil in committed salary next year... You'd still have to sign your rookies, but there would be money left to possibly make a play for a big name free agent to join Gordon, Sullinger, Rondo and Green.  Not bad.

When healthy Gordon is pretty good. Playing with tyreke and jrue a lot doesn't help.

Toss in Crawfish and take back Rivers and you got yourself a deal.

I make that deal then we have 5M more in cap space plus the picks. Rondo,Gordon,Pick,Sullinger and Green looks good.

I agree with LarBrd. This isn't a crazy or unbalanced idea.
