The Best Gordon Trade That I Can See

Orl: gordon + pick #16 (going to pass Brooklyn for 7th seed) + #45.

Char: rozier + pick #8 (assuming Chalotte does not get Top 4 in the lottery)

Magic draft Okoro @#8.

Why would Charlotte do this? Gordon might be enough to move up 8 spots in the draft, but not if Charlotte has to include Rozier. Plus, Charlotte has PJ Washington to play PF.

I think Charlotte has "buyers remorse" on Rozier. If so, which teams would "value" a "starting" PG? Orlando is about the only one (Knicks? ) .

Because of the depth of PG prospects in this draft, Charlotte can easily get a "good" PG @ #16 (Kira Lewis? ) to platoon with Graham. Charlotte has no PF depth behind Washington so those two can compete for starters minutes. Use 2 seconds on C and SG depth. Then lead into Free Agency as one of the only teams with cap space.

Why would Charlotte have buyers remorse on a player averaging 18 ppg and shooting over 40% from 3.

Gordon and Rozier are comparable players, so Orlando has to give up up something more to move up 8 spots in the draft.

Charlotte should have buyers remorse on Rozier. He’s a good 3 point shooter, but overall a very inefficient scorer that doesn’t do much else and plays the deepest position in the league. He’s bottom 10 of the starting PGs in the NBA.

That said, Gordon isn’t a lot better. He’s an inefficient forward that fits awkwardly at either position.

Lets see. 18.0 pts, 4.4 asts per game versus 18.2 pts, 7.5 asts per game. Yea, going to go with Graham over Rozier and reinvest Rozier's salary into a position that the team lacks depth (big men) .

Now Charlotte is not going to get full value because the demand for a "starting" PG is relatively low in the NBA because a majority of teams believe they already have one.

Do you expect Charlotte to "reach" for a big in a draft that is seriously short on big man talent?

charlotte's best player is pf. play in the same position. there is not that much difference between gordon and rozier to give 8. pick.

I partially take it back. I thought Rozier signed for 4 years and a lot closer to max. His contract isn’t bad. He’s still not someone I’d want starting on my team, but he’s a good role player on an ok contract.
