I'm actually surprised by his effort defensively.
Yeah, this really shouldn't be overlooked. If EG gets his mojo back and Tyreke starts hitting 3s, "do we need a SF more than Gordon?" might become a legit question. I think the answer is still yes, but you still might ask it which is unexpected.
He averaged 15 points a game last year, if he hits that vs. Dallas we win, vs. Memphis we lose by 1 instead of 12, but the fact that he's producing would have changed the whole dynamic too and we could be sitting at 4-0 if Gordon wasn't slumping.

this is a good summary of the situation

this is all, for better or worse, on monty. he didnt ask for his highest paid player to struggle, but now its up to him to do something to make it better. leaving the situation as is (starting EG/playing him 30 mins) with a "let him shoot his way out" mentality is a failure of leadership in my view. i hope they are working on solutions

Gordon's massive contract makes this decision tougher than other similar situations, but Monty is paid big dollars to make these types of decisions. Inserting Rivers into the starting lineup would require Monty to stagger lineups so that there is a ball handler on the court with Gordon because he is just too careless with the ball while dribbling. I propose that at a minimum, the Pels give Rivers 28 minutes (up from his 22 minute per game average) and drop Gordon to 20-22 minutes per game (down from his 32.8!) until he starts showing some semblance of the NBA player formerly known as Eric Gordon.
