Nope, Gordon is a great shooter and a good defender for 3 spots, Wade is a meh shooter and plays no defense, the downgrade would be real. I'd do it only if it's the only way to get Lebron.
LOL at the idea of Carmelo being better than Hayward. Learn how to look at stats. If Gordon or Ariza is involved (this would never happen), the Rockets got robbed. I'm only barely comfortable with the idea of losing Anderson, just because of Ryno's salary. If Ryno could shoot at TC like he does on the road, Carmelo would rot in NY.
Gordon doesn't make sense for NY nor does Ariza. Knicks already have Guards taking up minutes and Ariza doesn't fit the time line. Harkless does, Crabbe does as well. Blazers need more roster balance so Anderson makes sense and they're already spending money. I think the key is getting New York a FRP in the next 2 years.
No. Gordon is too valuable a piece. If we have to part ways with either of Ariza or EG then it isn't a deal worth making anymore.
Some melo fans are delusional. He's better than all these guys who put up better numbers, better advanced stats, win more games, etc. What is about kevin love and Gordon Hayward that makes people refuse to admit how good they are?
