I can't believe Orlando would do this kind of deal. They will not be just dumping Gordon unless they catch some Knicks virus and say - here is our star player just give us what you can. Wright is a bad fit next to Fultz as they need a much more offensively polished PG to complement him. Plus his wage is high for a back-up point guard. Both Augustin and MCW would be cheaper for Orlando and arguably bring more to the table for them. Unless Wright really steps up in the remainder of the season, it is difficult to present his contract as a positive.
The only way I could see them consider Dallas would be if they really like THJ. Perhaps because Fournier leaves them. I could see Dragic, Harris (if he really likes Dallas), Justin Holiday or fliers on Valentine or Connaughton as possible MLE replacements for THJ.
I would do THJ for Gordon since you could start Curry at the other guard spot. I like THJ a lot but I worry about giving him a big contract extension. I'd rather get 2 years of Gordon at reasonable money. Orlando could use THJs shooting.
