I think we are stuck with him for another year.

I'm pretty much down to the Knicks as our first and last option. They are desperate and have a similarly injury prone under performer. McNamara suggested Chandler + Raymond Felton for Gordon to make it more attractive to the Knicks. That'd be an interesting choice, because taking Felton back eats away a good chunk of the cap space you were hoping to free up. His contract is only for $4.5 million, so you'd still have $8-$10 million in the 2015 offseason, but that's only if you don't pick up an MLE SF/C this offseason which seems unlikely. Basically taking Felton back with Chandler still limits you to using the MLE. It only seems like a good move if it's only Chandler and you get all of Gordon's cap space back, or if you want Chandler around long term and he'd agree to a cheaper deal.
