Made ZERO sense for the hornets to give gordon the max.. Should've just Did a sign and trade for a first round pick.I like the ryan anderson acquisition..

Kinda hard to do a sign and trade with a team that's not gonna negotiate with you for a player. Either they matched or they didn't. Once the offer sheet got signed any S&T talk was dead on the spot.

Should have let him walk then. They have a good young team, no plans on competing for a ship till at least year 3 on the contract..

If he's healthy he's a legit 22-25 a game scorer,who will threaten for all star status year in and year out. But maybe that's why he wanted to get to Phoenix so badly. Because maybe he knows his knees are bad and the Suns are known to have the best medical staff in the league. I just hope he stays healthy this year so we can see what he and Davis and Rivers can do. Though i think eventually he or Austin will get traded. Can't see them coexisting for the long haul.

He's a hell of a talent when healthy. But injuries and his pouting gets the best of him

I'd say it's pretty unbelievable that teams were actually fighting over offering him a max contract considering he's never proved to even be a 60 game a year player. He's also never won anything. He's insanely overpaid and a potential risk to the long term future of the Hornets with his max salary locked up and it being unlikely they'll get anything close to max production out of him over the course of that deal.



the bolded


he is a good shooter though but i think he has a pretty good future if he manages to stay injury free

top 5 though? nah

Minus the injury concerns I just don't think he's that good.
