I guess so, but i like our chances with Gordon and picks, Butler is really good but not a superstar, expiring and likely wants to bolt, Gordon and picks would already be a solid return for them, especially if (big one) he wants to come here.
Gordon is about the best player I feel like they might be able to trade for to allow them to still be "contending"
Please God no, just keep building up the young guys at least the suck and are young. Butler and Kyrie would be the same old routine we've always followed.
The only way I would agree to a Gordon trade plus picks etc for Jimmy Butler would be if he agrees to an extension with Houston without any reluctance. I also would like to add another cheap but useful backup SG for EG too.
