After watching the Portland game it is obvious we need EG and his deep ball threat, not because of House but because teams are going to make players like Roco or Jeff Green beat them. Roco in particular has been the target and he is just not a consistent 3 point threat. Gordon is also an underated defender. He can take some of the punishment from post up players and help save Tucker's legs. I pray his shot returns as this is the only way to be a complete team and punish the inevitable double teaming on Harden in the playoffs.
And he will get every opportunity with D'Antoni because he trusts his stars. This is why his players love him.
