the Clippers didn't mind tossing Gordon in because they thought he'd command a high salary and that his injury history would make him not worth it. Key word: Clippers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember the trade almost being called off (if not called off before being revived) because the Clippers did not want to include Gordon. From that statement, it makes it look like the opposite.

While I do remember confusion as to whether or not Gordon was included in the deal, from what I remember the deal "fell apart" not over no Gordon but over no Bledsoe as a 5th asset in the deal. The GM of the Clippers said after the fact he only had preapproval from Sterling to move 4 assets, one of which was Gordon. Part of why the deal didn't happen the first time was Demps seemed to want more to feel it was comparable to what the Lakers/Rockets were offering and the Clippers had no intention of budging at all.
