theres a huge risk associated with the wait and see approach... could it pay off? Sure, but Gordon has shown no ability to stay healthy throughout his entire career and if he suffers another big injury his value is shot... Yeah I know, if grandma had balls....

and while I think a healthy Gordon is a better building piece for this team than Klay Thompson.. This healthy Gordon is a myth at this point. Im not ready to totally give up on him yet, but I would hate to see this teams development hindered by his constant injuries... especially knowing we could have a Klay Thompson in his spot. I trust Dell will make the right choice, but its a tough one to make.

I'd say giving up Gordon for Klay and a bad contract would be just as risky, if not riskier, than holding onto him and hoping he can shake the injury bug.

You say this like Klay Thompson is an above-average player.

I know its risky, but I feel like more options open up in the Summer. Worth the roll of the dice imo.

Obviously if you're getting Barnes and Klay (which, again, we are not getting), you run over there and carry them back to New Orleans immediately.
