Celtics cannot sign him if he bought out. New Rules prohibit the rich from getting richer.
If he is bought out by Hornets,
Can we sign him for remainder of season.
If so, and same for Bojan B, how do we use him. Both are 6-8 snipers. Not Defense first kind of guys.
Bojan would be obtained via trade,

Haven't followed Gordam much this year. I know he swung between forward spots in recent years and that would be useful. He's always been a smart defender, but I'm not sure how much he has left after all those injuries. I would take a shot , but I'm not sure what he wants in terms of minutes.

he'd be an amazing add, there's just no room on the roster for him currently. but he's a guy that could be huge come playoff time.

Looked up his stats and he's still performing like a solid NBA starter. I don't hed 2ant to come here for limited minutes. But he does owe Leon one for helping him negotiate that fat deal with Charlotte.

Thibs said some really good things about him in a presser recently with one of our CHA games, so much so it seemed a little odd. Thibs wanted him a few years back that is no secret. There is no room here though, also no secret. If he wants to play a Kevin Love role here though, which means he won't play much at full strength, than he can be Randle/RJ insurance.

Hayward is another guy that would make sense if we traded for a star and needed to replenish some depth. always loved his game and he's a great passer.

that's another reason we need to get aggressive, b/c you can always get solid players ring chasing to replenish some depth.

I think Hayward would be nice I just don’t know where he fits. The top 9 (plus McBride and Sims as the emergency fill-ins) is just so solid that it really would take a star level player to be worth changing.

pass.

we need someone longer and plays D, not another guy who needs the ball in his hands to be effective

getting a Fournier 2.0 vibe

Panos @ 12/12/2023 4:31 PM
where is KoQ? Role would be perfect for him.

Both guys would be fantastic. Gordon is a jack-of-all-trades player who can play multiple spots and is a very good passer/connector on top of being a solid scorer. He's just hurt all the time. Bojan is just a bucket. He looks like someone you play with Tues night at the temple so people think he's Steve Novak but he is a system-independent scorer. this is a guy who has been averaging close to 20 a night on 3 different teams with great shooting for the last 7 years or so. Plus he lit it up in the playoffs for the Jazz.
