Interesting to see so many Gordon optimists in this thread. Personally, I don't see where the hope is. I was a big fan of his upon coming here. I really liked his style of play, his attitude, and his potential. Maybe our team isn't guilt free in how bad things got messed up for him but I have a hard time seeing what we saw from him and not reaching the conclusion that he hasn't done all he could to help the team. I don't care about him signing with Phoenix either. I just think it is important to look at his career. His first year in LA he was okay. His next two years he went from above average to very good. Then he came here for three seasons. The time we are pining for him to return to existed for 2 of his 6 seasons in the league, 4 years ago. It's been a long time since he was that player. If you want to argue about his play of last season, you can make arguments he was a net positive, but once given the context that he makes $15 a year, and if he goes we can resolve the hole at SF, and given his injury history I think it is clear that him leaving asap is the best scenario.
I just saw a couple of tweets from Marc Stein stating that the Knicks want to move Wayne Ellington and Pablo Prigioni. I wouldn't move them straight up for Gordon, but I wonder if they could be likely trade filler to help facilitate a deal. I know Iman Shumpert is also on the block. Just a thought.
Sorry I don't know how to quote a tweet through this thing yet..

Is this what we have become?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
In general I think Shump is 9verrated but it's not his fault Knicks fans are crazy. We'll probably hear all about how Julius Randall is the next Karl Malone until he's no longer a Laker. But I would be interested in that trade if I were the Pels if I though EJ would take the player option this next offseason. Thing is, from what we've seen/heard it seems like Dell won't trade Gordon just for a dump but only for assets. Either he is stubborn, really believes in the kid, or has some sneaky plan, who knows, but even in the event that New York calls up and puts that on the table I doubt Dell agrees to it.
