Gordon has much lover value than fans think.
There was not a single season in his career where his offense touched league's efficiency, he still rides his +20% usage rate, his BPM for career is 0,0 and his RPM last year was in range with Mike Muscala mainly because of terrible offensive numbers.
There are far more cheapter, lower usage defenders than him like Covington, OG Anunoby, Royse O'neal, Tucker or Roberson.
JaMychal Green, Crowder, Jerami Grant, Justin Holiday, Marcus Smart are all FAs that teams can add that fit that Gordon role and teams don't have to give up anything to get them.
OFC assuming they have cap space.
Is Lavert better? I think they are viewed as same value as players, one is more offensiv oriented, other teams, i assume, view as guy they can mold into more defensive minded player ( basically playing Grant type of role)
Nobody is looking at Gordon like some fans here did for years " omg look at this future Kawhi that will take stepback long 2s in playoffs", the viewing him as " he'll spend on game on Jimmy Butler and maybe he will be able to make 2 threes from corner that night and get us 10 rebounds".
Tbh i'm not sure Gordon's ego will accept that role, but that's story for another day.
