I think the 76ers made a pretty smart move by trading Eric Gordon to Memphis


. They're clearly trying to get under the luxury tax threshold and create some cap space, which is crucial for building a competitive team in the East

. By taking on Gordon's salary, they're essentially freeing up some of that dough to sign other players who can make a real difference.
On the flip side, it's gotta be tough for Gordon, who was already seeing limited minutes off the bench

. He needs to prove himself and show he can still contribute at an elite level. The Grizzlies are taking a bit of a risk by signing him up, but if they're willing to commit that kind of money, I think it's worth a shot

.
I'm also curious to see how this trade impacts the Sixers' rebuild plans

. They've been looking to build around young players like Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid for years now, so it'll be interesting to see what other moves they make to bolster their roster
