Pelicans would be better off not playing Eric Gordon at all?

True

How could anyone say false? Dude is the worst player on the court, by a wide margin

He went from bringing some stuff to the table to literally bringing zero to the table as a basketball player.

his defense has actually been very good this year, according to DRating metrics.

but his offense…not so much. his PER before tonight was -.4 according to basketball reference

I'd say true if wasn't for the breathing time on the bench he gives other players...For an already small bench, we need all the help we can get

I don't know if we'd be better or worse, but I witnessed him air ball an uncontested 15 footer tonight.

I seen it with my own eyes.

False. You'd play Austin Rivers more and that extra 20 minutes he'd play result in more "EG was bad, but he wasn't this bad" moments.

He's a solid defender, and his shots aren't falling, same with ryan anderson.

If both of them were to actually hit their average, their stats would look like this:
Gordon
7/34 fg (20.6%) -> 15/34 fg (44%)
1/11 3pt (9.1%) -> 4/11 3pt (36%)
5.8ppg -> 10.5ppg on 9.3fg/g

Anderson
23/59 fg (40.0%) -> 25/59 fg (42.4%)
6/21 3pt (28.6%) -> 8/21 3pt (38.1%)
14.0 ppg -> 15.5ppg on 15.7fg/g

I'd like to see Rivers start with Jrue for the Spurs game and Gordon come in to guard Manu in Saturday. Just to see how it works with him coming off the bench. Although it worries me that he might take shots away from RYNO who seemed to find his shot last night.

But to answer the OP, Gordon has to play for this team.

This year False. He'll start hitting shots eventually. Next year, I wonder if we could do something like buy him out for $10 million and then stretch that $10 million ($3 million cap hit for 3 years). I do think a $3 million cap hit is preferrable to Gordon at $15.

Does Eric Gordon have the AIDS now? He really looks like it.
