Trade deadline discussion

Must be Will Barton or even MPJ.

Dang, the Nuggets are getting some size.

Deal appears to be done. Gary Harris plus stuff going back.

 

[Hekate]

I am not sure Aaron Gordon makes Nuggets better than Gary Harris. They will sacrifice perimeter defense for sure even if Gordon fits well offensively.

Seriously, the idea of Aaron Gordon went way beyond what Aaron Gordon is.

Denver losing Harris is a good news for the jazz. His return in G6 last year was what turned that series around. Denver now actually has a crowded front court. Way too many guys at the 3s and 4s. Surprised to see them keeping Barton in this deal

Yeah, Aaron Gordon has become a tad overrated, but Denver didn't give up a haul to get him either.

Gordon is a mixed bag. I can't say he's overrated or underrated. He's very inconsistent. He has some of the worst footwork I've seen on his jumpers. he definitely provides Denver an athletic element they've been missing though.

Big fan of Aaron Gordon. Denver got a steal.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Evan Fournier is in the weird spot between being good and very good. Surprised he didnt get at least a protected 1st rounder for him, but maybe it's two very highly projected 2nd rounders.

 

[KqWIN]

I don't know what the hell happened to Harkless, but he's the type of athlete a lot of us have been wanting on this roster.

 

[framer]

The downside to this is that we now have to play Rivers two more times.

Gordon plus Denver is great news for the local dispensaries.

So I’m not an Aaron Gordon expert, but his shaky jumper and just-okay ball skills should not be a problem on the Nuggets. Yeah, Harris was good, but Aaron Gordon has much greater potential on defense and there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to guard Donovan if they need him to. They were soft and slow as **** defensively and their acquisitions move the needle in a big way.

I think they made a perfect trade. I was not so worried about the Nuggets before this trade but am now.

 

[framer]

Now that is a steal. Glad Denver got Gordon rather than Powell.

 

[whatthe]

What scraps are left for the Jazz?

What scraps are left for the Jazz?

OPJ, Harkless, and Redick.

Waive the bench. Sign all three.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

That Gordon trade doesn’t move Denver’s needle at all for me.

 

[jom2003]

Gary Trent/Hood for Norman Powell...... Not sure there is much gained by Portland.

I think DM would cook Gordon... Harris is great at locking up guards. Aaron is better as a wing and help guy. I haven't seen the full trade but it looks like they did well. AG will certainly help them more than Harris.

The deal I am worried about is the Lakers potentially getting Lowry... that would suck *** and it looks like the other suitors are dropping off.
