Is it really probable that Gordon gets moved at all?

I have two points to look at..
1.) If he stays injured nobody will trade us anything for him.
2.) If he heals up and becomes good enough and healthy enough to where other teams would move pieces for him, would we want to get rid if him, if he is producing well for our team?
OR, given his injury history, would we sell high?
Tough situation, but I don't see us moving Gordon if he's healthy, we are winning, and he isn't being a little whiny bitch

Get ready...This did not end well the last time I suggested it.

I see your point, but:
We either try and sell now, and take whatever we can get. At this point it won't be much, but someone might be willing to give us garbage in the hopes that he pans out.
or
We wait, and if he can play 30-40 games, we move him just to get rid of him to a desperate bubble playoff team and again take what we can get, just because we want nothing to do with him.
I think those are alternative likely scenarios. Its possible that we are anchored with the contract forever, he uses his player option and everything...but there are often some pretty foolish teams willing to take a contract, especially if he can stay healthy for the early part of next season.

76.6% that he gets traded was the confidence DRIVEMAN gave us. The question is what situation leads to the 23.4% not traded? Drafting a non SG? Getting crap offers?

This team needs talent. We can't be giving away our 2nd best player for nothing. We have to keep him.

Gordon has to go. It really is as simple as that. Trading for him was probably the worst trade in franchise history (dumping Paul was dumb and the team got trade raped). Re-signing him was even worse and will probably end up costing Demps his job (Benson can't be happy). The team needs to move on and close this chapter.
I keep seeing this in threads and it doesn't make any sense. So he's either really good (like top 10 good) and will bring us to the promise land OR he's injured and we can't find anyone to trade us anything. There is no way the gap can be that far apart on a player. It's just not logical. Injured players are traded all the time. When we traded for Gordon he was hurt at that time. Did that stop us?
They should take whatever they can get right now. Late 1st, a couple of scrubs with potential or even an older vet with an expiring contract. Just get rid of the bad contract, plug the hole and center the rebuild around Davis like it should have always been about.
