I meant that I held Gordon the most accountable for our loss. Highest paid, not exceptional point wise, back to back to back errors in the 4th quarter. He’s passive. He didn’t fight for rebounds. His man often drove rather freely. Every game closer to making the playoffs,the zenith of his career so far, becomes more worthy of judgement. This is his moment to shine. This happened to be the game I watched and I suppose his salary and expectations had me pumped to see him do great things. And he didn’t.
Vuc made the Allstar game. Is expiring. We just resigned Gordon. I take a lot into account.
I am not offended by him calling me stupid.
I expected when we drafted gordon for him to turn into a something? What is he?
We could have had this game and we need it!
And he didn’t impress me at all and let me down more than anyone else I saw.
If we win I would have elected Isaac, and I have bashed him before here. He did very well.

He’s the highest paid because he signed the most recent contract, in an era where contracts have increased dramatically in the time since even Fournier signed. Vuc is about to get his next contract and he will undoubtedly be the highest paid player from this current roster. Basing expected impact on salary is asinine. It should be based on their role and usage.
As constructed, AG is not a primary option, not an ideal second option, likely a great third option. We drafted him and paid him to continue to advance his game and help us become a better team. While improved, it does not seem like enough for his salary. He’s a third option.
The salary cap for next year is 118 million.
He is making 20. If he is a third option, then the next would get more, I assume.
22? Say what someone proposed for Vuc (4/88) if he would take that.
That is about 1/3 of the cap. We have Mosgov at 17. We want to resign Ross? Who is going to sign with the remaining money we have?
It’s not asinine to expect more from him when we are fighting for the playoffs for the first time in his career. It’s not asinine to look at our cap and look at his effort and production last night and go “meh”.
His role is not a primary or secondary scorer or ball handler. He is not a master of anything. He gets paid to be a 2nd option. He was not in this game.
Edit: for the context of this thread, he was not a second option in last nights game in particular.
