    So many issues with this lol

    Gordon atm unfortunately doesn't have a positive value. Due to injury & inconsistencies.
    If he comes back & plays well he might. But atm he is looked as bad value.

    Also when Gordon left New Orleans it was very acrimonious. They won't want him back.

    EG + #2 for Simmons is what I'm seeing.

    they were like the 6th youngest team and 6th worst 3 point shooting team. Not a great combo.

    we just need to trick them into thinking EG helps solve those problems!!

    13 is close enough. The whole point is that drafts are not panning out lately. High likelihood of bust or situations like Cameron Payne where they don’t develop until they’re past their rookie contract.

    But WHERE are you seeing it? Clearly there would have to be a lot more moving parts, but just for some confirmation. Unless it's Bleacher Report, in which case everyone will tell you, Duuuuude....

    Following your advice to use the inter webs, and discerning the smell of s***, I saw recent Fansided and Bleacher Report “articles” and older articles on why we didn’t trade for Simmons with Harden (ain’t somebody to build around).

    SIXTEEN MORE DAYS OF THIS……sigh.

    I'm pretty impressed a "will Eric Gordon be traded to a city he hates that also hates him a lot too" thread has lasted for 73 comments.

    Unrealistic.

    Gordon will become useful in trade mid season if he's had a 100% healthy season up to that point. Should try to dump him for an expiring and a second before the trade deadline.

    Just needs to stay healthy. Otherwise we ride it out, can't shed assets to trade him. Has 2 guaranteed seasons remaining, not bad for our rebuilding window.
