Great read.
Not opposed to dealing Gordon, but you make very good points for keeping him.
If I may add one more- the guy has been in a funk for 2 years. His team swore they wouldnt trade him; they did. He gets to NO, is then hurt, and cant play any more. He sees the team draft a lottery sg. He is told by management he needs to see what his FA market is. Is then called out for his injury by his head coach (Has Thibodeaux said anything about Rose?)
Has he been a bit ridiculous in how he handled some of these things? Absolutely. But you have to think (hope) he is ready to move on and get back to playing good basketball.

I know it's better to be an optomist, but I don't see how people can have this much paitence. The guy has missed 20 or more games (1/4 of each season) 4 seasons in a row with 4 different injuries. He has had 2 different doctors suggest microfracture surgery and didn't have any surgery performed at all. I'm not even going to go into the strangest rehab schedule in the history of basketball, where he only plays games at home (last season) or he can't play back to backs after being released to play 3 months earlier. I just don't see how his knee is going to magically heal, he will get into reasonable shape and buy into a system that takes the ball out of his hands, in a place he doesn't want to live.
