If the Pelicans would do Richard Jefferson for Eric Gordon straight up (or with a small sweetener like a 2nd round pick or the GSW 1st rounder), would you do it?

Gordon has a huge deal that he is not quite living up to, but a starting unit of Burke, Gordon, Hayward, Favors, and Kanter/Marvin Williams would not be bad, along with Burks off the bench. Gordon would also provide an insurance policy in case Hayward does leave in free agency. By the time, Utah would have to do big money extensions with Kanter, Burke, and Burks, Gordon's deal would be expired.
