If you had to get rid of 1 player: Gordon, Holiday, or Evans, who would it be?

And why?

Are present injuries included?
If so, Holiday.
If not, Evans

if i have to take injury history into account then holiday for that reason. if not, then evans because of his inability to play for the team instead of himself.

It's really between EG/Tyreke because jrues going nowhere.
But its tyreke that probably has to go first. EG will be gone regardless due to him being an expiring.

It's a difficult question to answer without knowing 3 very important things.
1) Will Jrue's injury be behind him next year?
2) Can Tyreke handle a 6th man role that includes putting a non clutch player on the bench in the 4th most of the time?
3) How much will Gordon get on his next deal?
With positive answers to all 3 I think Gordon is the easiest to replace because he primarily gives you shooting.

1. Evans
2. Holiday
3. Gordon
Tyreke is a low IQ basketball player, flat out. he's athletic and plays tough, but he's the reason why we lose a lot of games late more than us winning. He's the anti-clutch compared to EG and AD, but he's the one with the ball in his hands with the game on the line. His defensive rotations are not even average and he's just poor defensively. I knock Harden in past years, but Tyreke has always been bad. Even his offense is a black hole, people say he's such a good slasher, etc. but he can't shoot and chooses to take 1/3-1/4 of his shots from 3 and a lot from outside. High turnover rate, poor ortg, and a ball-hog mentality tells me he needs to go. This is like Manu in the playoffs a few years back and SA flipping out that Pop needed to corral him in. Monty can't corral Evans. I don't think many coaches can or want to even try. he's too 1-dimensional.
Next would be Holiday, he's the better PG imo, but he's too passive offensively. He's a solid shut down defender, and we missed him as many saw vs OKC. I think his rhythm with AD is superb and the core of Jrue-EG-AD-Asik should not be moved.
Last would be Gordon. Knock on wood, but Gordon seems to have his knees back and has been playing solid defense. I'd be sad if he opted out, SGs are also very thin in this league. He's also become a better shooter knowing his role for this team, giving the inside to AD/Asik/Evans and being a threat. He has a great chemistry/passing with Asik for easy dunks and layups. He's not given enough credit for his vision and passing.

Evans and it's not even close. Drives me nuts watching him.
Posted on 3/22/15 at 6:49 pm to PrimeTime Money
Holiday hands down. At least the other 2 are playing.
Posted on 3/22/15 at 7:09 pm to PrimeTime Money
Holiday and it's not a question.
Posted on 3/22/15 at 7:25 pm to PrimeTime Money
Easily Evans. He doesn't really fit in with the type of team we are building. I say trade him or Ryno for a decent SF that plays defense.

Evans. He would fit best as the 6th man he was brought here to be, but bench scoring is replaceable. His issues with decision making and struggles on the defensive end make it an easy decision. It's easy to like his playmaking ability and toughness, but I get so frustrated watching him ruin games in the fourth. He takes away from AD's brilliance when he eats up shot clock and plays iso basketball.
All three are replaceable, but I think Jrue and Gordon fit better alongside AD.
Gordon is playing solid ball - good defense, spot up shooting, and passing. He needs to improve his scoring inside of the arc, but I'll take what he's given us this season any day.
Jrue has the potential to be our long term PG. I wish he was healthy. He's missing out on the floor chemistry, which is the main problem. We've seen the team mesh while he's been on the bench. He provides enough passing, scoring (though inefficient at times), and defense to be a second/third anchor on the team. Plus nobody will trade for him with his injury history.

None. I want Gordon to fall off the books, and I want to see if Jrue is healthy next year. Need to keep Reke because he is the only one I am sure is going to actually put on a uniform every night.

Evans.
Holiday is a close second because:
a) injury history and
b) point guards are easier to replace than sgs right now. But I still put tyreke over Holiday because he just isn't as smart with the ball as holiday or Gordon. Plus he can't shoot
