That's what I was thinking. No way they trade Gordan though.

i would tend to agree, but gordon might be the odd-man-out in this situation. with paul and harden in the fold, gordon would have to accept a bench role (most likely, although i guess you could play all 3 at the same time) and im not sure gordon wants to do that. they also might want to dangle gordon for melo or pg13. i wouldn't mind taking gordon, but he's ALWAYS hurt, so its kind of a catch22.
