He doesn't even need to opt out. I don't know if MM covered this in his stretch Gordon article last year, but if Gordon can get his act together he should get enough money as a free agent to make a $10 million buy out worth his while. Stretch that $10 million and you have $11 million in cap space if you don't resign Rivers.

I keep seeing jeff green mentioned and I haven't really followed his situation much. why does everyone think we gonna get him? has there been interest put forth by both sides? I see green has a player option next year. is NOLA a desired destination for him or is all this just pure optimism?

He's got that special combination of age, baggage and high sticker price to be a perfect fit if we free up cap space. Honestly I think the Pelicans can be at the front of the line for SFs not getting near max deals. The hole at SF is similar to the hole Asik filled, you don't need an All Star, just a very specific 3 and D skill set and AD will make you look good. Playoff ready team looking for an under appreciated SF to take them to the next level.

Largely based on his skillset, and Boston having an even worse contract in Gerald Wallace that they could use to dump him.
