Magic drop to East 9, good opportunity!

Jazz\Thunder/Magic deal

Jazz send Exum, Ed-Davis, Niang, Goss, receive Gordon

Magic send Gordon, Frazier, receive Gallinary

Thunder send Gallinary, receive Exum, Ed-Davis,Niang, Goss,Frazier

Jazz send several picks to Magic or Thunder
 
Gordon shoots nearly 3-and-a-half threes per game over his career. He hits them at 32%. That's a mere 1.5% better than Exum. Would we want Exum jacking up 3 or 4 threes EVERY GAME? Then why would we want Gordon to do it? And this season he's actually shooting worse than his career numbers.

Other than three-point shooting, he is inferior to Derrick Favors in almost every way. We might as well wait until the off-season and re-sign Favors, rather than spend assets to get an inferior copy.
 
If Orlando wants to salary dump him and give us assets then sounds good.

For us to give picks for AG is stupid.
 
As athletic as Gordon is, he actually has been playing a quite soft style of basketball lately, which is the last thing that we need
 
Exum for Gordon - oh the irony.

That would close the case for the 2014 draft being the biggest bust in NBA history.
 
Take 5 minutes looking at Gordon's game log and it's readily obvious that he disappears against any team that plays any semblance of defense. He's one of those guys who can use he athletic ability to score in transition and put up some fat numbers when the game opens up, but his offensive skill set is very limited.
