We've seen what crippling a franchise with win now really looks like. It looks like doubling down on guys on the decline. Demps doubled down on guys just hitting their primes. We also have yet to see what other moves will be made. The best Gordon trades we've come up with are slightly unrealistic, but all seem to be based around guys destined to be traded which means they might be sold somewhat low. Some sort of Gordon package for Monroe, or Wilson Chandler/Asik, or Verajao/Waiters changes the equation quite a bit. I also like Rivers/Aminu/Stiemsma for Jeff Green. On top of those moves, guys like Evans, Holiday and even Gordon should be young enough and talented enough that they'll keep improving like Davis. This team isn't nearly as "stuck" as many of you fear.

Good point and absolutely correct. No guarantee it will work, but there are no guarantees in the NBA.

Again, correct.
Overall, the team still is a work in progress. I would not have been happy drafting and keeping Noel.
