Yeah that's why im confused. There is no other player in the league with his specific value. I know we can get what we want for him, but Monroe, Smith? Is that what we really want for an irreplaceable 4?

I don't see how there isn't a deal out there to rid ourselves of Gordon with nothing, and when I say nothing, I mean a couple 2nd rounder's who haven't panned out.

What's with the Smith talk?

If we made a move for Josh Smith I might have to reconsider my allegiances until he was no longer with us.

I'd rather sign gordon to an extension than have Josh Smith anywhere near this roster.

I think you could dump Gordon if you were willing to give up the 2015 pick or some of our younger players like Rivers. So Ryno isn't the only path to moving Gordon, but what Ryno + Gordon for Monroe lets you do is completely reshape the roster to a more traditional one if that's the way you want to go, which I personally don't.

Holiday
Evans
Ariza
Davis
Monroe

vs. something like

Holiday
Evans
Martell Webster
Davis
Okafor

With Anderson off the bench and waiting until 2015 to more permanently fill holes.
