I actually think Vasquez is the real prize in that deal. Gordon's value is at an all time low right now given his health concerns, max contract and attitude. I think a deal surrounding Bradley, Melo, Lee and a heavily protected first could be enough to pique the Hornets interest:
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=d32752nThe Hornets seem really eager to move Gordon before he becomes a problem on their young team. They get out from under his contract, have a ridiculously young and talented back court with Vasquez, Rivers, Bradley and Lee, almost 6m in cap savings and eventually a first (not to mention Melo to develop).
Boston takes on all the risk by picking up Gordon so they can get him at a discount. Even though its risky, I think Gordon (if healthy) would be the perfect scoring 2 guard to pair with Rondo. One has the potential to be a 20+ a game scorer and the other is double double machine.
If we are trading Rondo, our one true blue chip trading asset, I want to get a young talented big with lots of upside. They are a lot harder to come by than scoring SGs or all around PGs.
