I agree. We most certainly need him for the depth and Hendo is a much better offensive option than JT is right now but with this young team winning with him on the bench show that he's every bit of expendable in the long term and shoot down the notion that he is currently the best player on the team as aforementioned during season previews.
I'd like to see him get to mesh with the new look of the team before writing him off.
Do y'all think that Gordon should be a key piece moving forward? How much money will Gordon want once his contract expires? Does Gordon want to play with the 'Cats once we're playoff-ready?Quote:

I don't even think a team would swap a 1st for bg.. Around what picks do you think they would trade? I would like to see it happen thought.Quote:

I'm sure BG will move on to a contender for the MLE if he isn't traded as an expiring contract by next season. Even if we become playoff ready I doubt that he would want to play 6th man for an up and coming team when he can get much more acclaim for team that's already competing for the championship. Look at the wonders that it has done to exploit Jamal Crawford's name with the Clippers. BG will be looking for a similar place to make his name noteworthy again. I just hope it's not the Heat.Quote:

Otherwise I suspect we trade him by next seasons deadline. As far as GH is concerned, I wouldn't go over 7 million a year. If his people make it clear they want much more than that, then we QO him next year at 4.3 million and then try to trade him prior to the deadline. Also, with Sessions playing this well, it wouldn't shock me to see us move him for assets prior to the end of his deal.
