This is probably a question for ATL, but what about trading him at the deadline next year? I know that expiring contracts don't have the value that they used to have, but I wonder which players Demps might target?

I'd hate to have dead money on the books via stretching Gordon. I think the only way he opts out is if we make the playoffs and he goes off in the first round, though...

Dead money is a non issue IMO. We only have the salary slots left to add one more big piece. We have to decide if we do that in 2015 or 2016. We won't get a superstar via FA and 2015 looks like the best time to get a non star SF. If we don't stretch Gordon its MLE in 2015 and cap space in 2016. If we do stretch him it's cap space in 2015 and MLE in 2016. So basically same difference but a better SF class in 2015.
