re: The Reason for Keeping Eric Gordon

I hate this debate because Gordon backers also use the same circular logic that comes back to, you can't trade Gordon. It's either, he has been hurt and has no trade value. Or, once he's healthy he's too good to let go. So the team just has to keep holding onto to him and hope he gets better. I just can't accept that. If a bunch of guys on a message board can understand his potential value, then so can other NBA GMs.
It's no secret, I hate Gordon. He's overpaid, made of glass, sullen, pudgy and over rated. I can't stand to watch him play and I hate having him on this team. I would have never traded for him, would have let him go to Phx for nothing and would trade him now for a late 1st. The team is better without him...

That's not exactly what the OP argues.

That's not necessarily true. I'm not trying to say we could be GMs, but there are definitely actual GMs who would be willing to take a gamble on Eric Gordon. Hell, the Hornets took a gamble last summer signing him to an almost max deal. It's not whether or not a GM is dumb, rather it comes to circumstance. Look what Philly did by trading for Bynum. If he's healthy, they're geniuses, if he's hurt, they're idiots. Obviously the arrow leaned more toward him being injured and that's what ended up happening, but they felt they were one piece away from contention in the East so they took a gamble. There is no cookie-cutter approach to situations like that. Each circumstance is unique.
