I think the Pelicans should just try their best to trade Gordon for cap space or say a Greg Monroe type of player, and then let Monty suck it up the rest of the season.
Honestly, Monty will lead to the tank even if he's trying his best to win games. The Pelicans have hovered around 0.500 purely on their talent alone and in spite of their coaching. Take away two key pieces and possibly a 3rd (Gordon) and it will be the last two seasons all over again.
A trade for Monroe could honestly be perfect. They could use this season to see how he fits on the team and if he'd be a potential long term solution at center and if not, he's a restricted FA and at worst the Pelicans can get a pick or two out of him if they aren't willing to match on a max-type deal for him.
I know people feel he's a defensive liability, but with good coaching, this team has enough good defenders to account for it (not under Monty of course).
