    Gordon is one year removed from 6th MOTY discussion and has had more years of doing what you want than Heild has, you keep ignoring everything that even in a down year that Gordon does better than Heild and it more than a few more draft picks its 2 rotational players and another 7 million more in cap space so that's at least another key rotational piece.

    He could be good on this team but does that outweigh the other way that affects the team?

    Defense and FT shooting plus cap space?

    Gordon has always raised his game in the playoffs is Heild built like that?

    You can get a sniper for far less.

    You have really valid points and you're close to changing my opinion, but we're not there yet. The cap space is irrelevant right now because with either player we are over the cap. Only difference is TIlman's wallet. The only way cap would play a factor in this discussion would be if Harden gets traded, because then that 7million would play in. But even if that happens, what do we care about the cap, we aren't competing for a few more years anyway. No way Tilman pays any tax if Harden is gone, so the 7 million is moot.

    Can you name a better sniper that can be had?
