re: Are we looking at a potential decision between keeping Ryno OR EG?

You say that as someone that's been burned multiple times by his injuries. But to a GM that's never experienced Eric Gordon and is sitting on a pile of cap space and nobody to fill it. there are things he can say to convince himself it's worth it. Gordon hasn't had knee issues in 2 years, and there is no chronic condition other than "injury prone" (he played fine with the torn labrum). It only takes one a-hole as we've seen before with Gordon.
