Voted “no,” but it’s a toss-up between that and the last option (itchy vote trigger; trading Redd but not drafting Gordon is probably my preference). Not opposed to dealing Redd whatsoever but would rather hold onto Redd than deal him for Gordon, who, like Redd, straight-up loves to shoot, but isn’t as good at doing it.

I voted “They can try but it won’t happen” which is mainly referring to a Redd trade. Like Alex, I don’t see Gordon as the most logical pick at 7 when you have Westbrook and Randolph probably still on the board. At least right now I’d prefer those guys, but a lot can change in the next month.

Also worth noting that while Sampson might be singing Gordon’s praises, Skiles might see a bit too much of Ben Gordon in him. Not that Ben didn’t do some nice things in Chicago, but I’m not sure “draft an undersized two guard” is at the top of Skiles/Hammond’s wish list.

I voted ‘Trade Redd but don’t draft Gordon’ because both players will completely undermine what Skiles is trying to fix: defense. We’ve already got an undersized two guard (Mo Williams…wait, he’s a PG? Really?) who doesn’t play much defense, having a Swiss Cheese backcourt is not the recipe for success.

Also, here’s another thing to consider; if the Bucks draft Eric Gordon, is Kelvin Sampson going to try to impose his will and get Gordon more PT, even if he doesn’t deserve it? I guess I think that the priorities amongst the coaching staff would be out of wack.

I see the team trading Redd and not getting enough in return for him, leading the team to a level of mediocrity slightly better in wins but much worse on offense.

Mostly because I don’t think any other team will value Redd as much as the Bucks do. I do like Gordon though, just not for the Bucks.
