Gordon/Bev Harden/ Barnes/KJ Anderson/Beasley Motie/Capela We need to sign Barnes and somehow sign-and-trade for Gordon
Not sure what to think of a potential Eric Gordon signing. Does Harden play the 1? Is Ariza and/or Brewer gone? Or is Gordon coming of the bench?
Ryno's signing should leave us with about 27M to spend. my bet is gordon (who will probably play half a season) will sign for half of what we have remaining (4/60) which would save some money for a PG. MDA would probably want something like: dmo-capela-onuaku ryno-beasley-harrell harden-ariza-dekker gordon-brew-KJ ???-beverley-GP2 seth curry would fit the bill at the 1.
I fear in this market Gordon might be more like 4/68. If we had other key pieces, I would not mind going after him, but as it is, feels like we are trying to revamp our lineup with some pieces from one of the most underachieving teams from last year. Maybe that's why they're available though.
Don't know if it's been posted, but : <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Gordon, FWIW, is repped by the same agent as James Harden.

Similar health concerns as An_erson but Gordon is younger, better scorer and helluva better defender. This is not a bad signing.
Would like him at a salary that allows for the option of adding a max deal next year. We would definitely have some scorers but no go to offensive creator outside of Harden once again.
Not the big 3 But..... Eric Gordon when healthy, with Harden, would be a contender for the best offensive backcourt in the nba. Ryan Anderson will bring more to this team than I think most people realize offensively. His value is not in what he does but in how he makes those around him better. It's possible harden, Anderson and Gordon could put up 65ppg between them.
And it would be awful defensively, but dmo at the 5 with Anderson, harden, and Gordon would be an offensive circus in D'antoni's system.
