Saw people on realgm saying Denver needs to get off Aaron Gordon already. Multiple people suggesting it.
This peaked my interest.
Why? Because he wouldnt require assets that some bigger names would require to get.
Further adding to that important detail...I think he is exactly what dallas is looking for in the front court. He checks all the boxes:
Young
Muscular
Athletic freak
Defensive Monster
Switchable
Can guard 1 through 5
Can put it on the floor to exploit close outs
Can finish at rim better than what we got
3ball not terrible
Lob threat
Not a knucklehead
Can anyone name a more perfect player that doesn't cost a fortune to acquire?
The amount of assets we would spend to acquire the perfect front court player and solidify our roster and take our defense to an even crazy height....would be a small price compared to filling your final need with the perfect player.
Adding to that...teams get let down because he's average on offense...especially if he's asked to do too much. But he is a defensive monster. We don't need his offense as badly as other teams.
Disclaimer...I know nothing about cap and if this would be possible, know nothing about if Denver would help a conference foe by gifting them the exact player they need, know nothing about if Gordon would be willing to not get ball much on offense, etc
He would take our defense to crazy heights if paired with Maxi. But I would move maxi if Denver asked because Goron is a clear upgrade as far as moving the needle...and wouldn't cost a fortune to acquire
