It's astounding the lack of publicity presence he still has within this franchise. It's like he's a lock to be on the first bus out of town when possible.

why would they pump out there if they think/know they're trading him?

You must have missed his live, courtside NBATV interview during Summer League.

Rather have him in rehab than see his best Blue Steel.

Gordon just got back from representing the NBA and the Pelicans in the Philippines with James Harden. I would say that is a public presence.

Although he's trying to get better, he has a long history of not just being terrible at PR, but doing/saying the worst possible things he can do/say. The forced him to do stuff in LA, meaning he didn't want to do it. If all you really need him to do is play ball, don't make him do something he's not good at when he finally seems happy.

I think the absence of Gordon is more a reflection of him being a PR liability than any indication that he's on the first bus out of town.

They picked 4 of the most outgoing personalities on the team for the unveiling. Reke/Rivers/Gordon might have more name potential, but those guys are better showmen.

We need to trade Tyreke as well. Clearly not being chosen by the organization to show off the jerseys means he hates it here, despite him having a positive relationship with Jrue and Tyreke and publicly stating that he's excited to be here recently. It definitely has nothing to do with the 4 players chosen being the 4 fan favorites or having the best personalities for the event.
