Something about having it all or something.
He does have some value I guess. If your main goal isn't winning.

I'd rather call OKC and get Lamb and Perkins bad contract. You save a lot of cash, a lot of entitled attitude and a lot of heartbreak when the guy is in pout-mode or injury mode. Gordon as face of the franchise? I'm done with this team if they do this.

Youth, talent, efficiency, and the fact he's not a rental. It's hilarious that you'd rather go after Josh Smith on a 30 game rental than a player like Gordon.
I remember when people were saying we shouldn't go after Stephen Curry for the exact same reasons we shouldn't now go after Gordon. That worked out well. Oh wait....

I know you're being cheeky but he did come here for a workout didn't he? Or de he miss because he hurt himself in TO?

And Smith can't extend until the summer. No chance I'm giving up any type of legitimate assets to take a slim chance that Smith wants to play in Milwaukee.

Gordon is one of the few players who can control their future this season as he has the ability to veto all trades until July 14. The collective bargaining agreement gives Gordon this power since the New Orleans Hornets matched the $58.36 million offer sheet he signed with the Phoenix Suns.

First being Eric Gordon to the Bucks for Ellis and Tobias Harris
And second Josh Smith to the Suns for Dudley, Morris, Brown and Suns 1st
I could see both of those happening. Although I could see the Hawks trying to get Gortat in the deal first.
