Don´t think so. Gordons contract is worse than Powells.

Only way I would take Gordon is if Powell is in the deal for sure. His last year is not guaranteed or fully guaranteed so its basically a 2 year deal. He is already 32 so getting long in the tooth a little bit.

I would do something like Powell + Boban for Gordon, then find another center who can provide some interior defense. 

If you did get Gordon you would have some THJ insurance in case he is too expensive to retain or you might be able to flip THJ for something else. Gordon definitely gives Mavs some extra playmaking.

Lineup would be:

Luka, Rich, DFS, Maxi, KP

With main subs being: Brunson, Burke, Gordon, THJ, JJ. Rick would also have the option to put gordon in the starting lineup with DFS coming off the bench. I like that top 10 a lot.

Houston might actually do a salary dumping deal for Gordon. Really considering what you are getting he is a good value in that he gives you that extra reliable scorer the Mavs need.
