    I like Gordon in the starting lineup. Brings a steadiness to a very young team and can help eliminate mistakes those guys make and help them grow. Just making the right pass or hitting the open shot helps with that. Also gives him time to show of his skills for an eventual trade.

    But one of those guys is plenty. Theis doesn’t need to be starting, move wood to the 5 and put Tate back in

    all I see Gordon make is mistakes tho…from bad shot selection bricks to turnovers and tragic drives to the rim

    I like Gordon, but that first game he looked like a crab on crack with the way he was dribbling sideways about 50 times and not really moving anywhere.

    ... and, to boot, Gordon was the player featured in the commercial promoting the game.

    Then we need to sit out kpj and wood and just let the rookies roll. Kpj is not here to tank. Wood is not here to tank. Tate is not here to tank. This team is trying to win. We're not getting the 1 or 2 draft picks this year unless all of them get injured.
    Silas and Stone are out to prove themselves this season as well.
    This team was not built to tank unless Green turns out to be a complete bust and therefore we trade him and some other assets to move up in the next draft. We're making playoffs this season or we going to at least fight for a spot.

    I don't think he is really injured. He's definitely not so injured to the point where if they needed him he couldn't play. They're giving other guys burn time! Wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to start Brooks or Christopher and slide KPJ to the two and Green at the three. Danuel House needs time on the court too if we're looking to show case assets.

    Saying Gordon out has to hurt his tradability. How fragile is this man?

    Is he out because a trade is imminent?

    Are we still over the 15 player limit?
