He's our healthiest player, only player to start all 12 games.

I'm wondering if this terrible start is a blessing in disguise. If they're a playoff team there's no way they trade Gordon or Ryno for future assets, and that's really what they need to do.

I'm worried he is doing enough for Dell to be Dell and resign him

Serious question, what is the smallest return you all would take for a eg trade?

Ryno and EG are our pieces, EG i have zero attachment to...

But is Ryno the stretch 4 that Gentry covets in His system?

He has a 15 mill salary. We would be lucky to get anything for him other than another overpaid player. The sixers would be one of the few teams that could afford giving up a pick and taking on his salary and you know they won't trade a pick.

Unprocted second but if that's all I'm getting I'm holding on to him until there is absolutely no playoff hope. Ryan has much more value so I would demand a mid to late first for him.

you arent getting anything for gordon, full stop
15MM (prorated) is too much to swallow for a contender to take on the tax penalty, and portland, 76ers and utah are only teams with cap space

anderson though i think you could get a useful player back

Luol Deng got Chicago a future 1st and 2 future 2nds. Deng is a 2 way player at a thin position in the league, so he was probably worth more than Gordon or Ryno, but I don't think getting a late 1st is out of the question if you get a team interested that has more assets than they know what to do with (Boston) or a team desperate for improvement heading towards the post season (possibly a team like Houston).

Look for contenders with expiring contracts or young guys not getting useful PT.

I watched the full 76ers-Pacers game because I need to decide if I'm going to hold onto covington in my fantasy league; they definitely don't need EG. They have like 3 copies of him already. They need a ball handling distributer that can defend or a big that can defend. Maybe we can give them Asik and Jrue back.....and hide EG in their luggage.

Who provides spacing on this team if we walk away from both of them? I would have to think one of them will be re-signed next year.

Really wish we had jrue full time... losing EG wouldn't be that big a deal if we had full time jrue. You run him at pg or sg and split eg's minutes to douglas/smith?

He started last night, but earlier in the year a lot of people thought Morrow might get lost in the shuffle at OKC. He's 9th in total minutes played, so maybe you trade something for him, or if you're lucky get him for free like you got QPon and Cole. Gordon has more skills than we need when the team is fully healthy, Morrow is a more appropriately skilled and therefore affordable spacer.

If we don't get some people back, Pels might not win another game until December 28th against the magic

I don't necessarily want to resign Gordon, but I'm worried about replacing his production next year.
