Maybe you don't get them both for Gordon, but what about Gordon plus a top 5 protected 1st? The Hornets take the uncertainty out of drafting an unknown 2nd draft tier SF and Golden State, who has no 1st this year, gets enough assets to justify the trade.

Gordon/AFA for Thompson/Barnes/Jefferson works with a TPE on GSW's side (it works straight up for Gordon, it just depends on if you think AFA adds to the trade for GSW). We would then have to throw in a pick I think, I would go top 7 protected year one and top 3-5 protected year two. Don't know how realistic that is.

I'd think the Warriors take a serious look at that.

We're 7th-worst in the league right now, which means they'd get the pick unless we won the lottery. I don't see us getting any lower than 4th-worst, given how bad Cleveland, DC, Orlando, and Charlotte are.
