Seriously? Kind of an overpay. Hopefully there's a team option on that 2nd year.

This was likely done for some scoring punch.
Ben Gordon had a bad run in Charlotte so I am not sure how he is going to handle less minutes here.

"We need vets to spread the floor".
Magic sign Ben Gordon.
"WHY THE HELL DID WE SIGN BEN GORDON"?????????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
In all seriousness, I think this could be another Scott Perry thing.

Hopefully everyone held off on an Aaron Gordon jersey as it will now have an A on the back.

He was in a crappy situation for sure in Charlotte. I just don't know if he should expect anything different here. Seems to have attitude issues, kind of a surprise signing from Hennigan.

I saw him play in person down in Charlotte a couple years ago. He had the worst body language I've ever seen; always by himself, looked like a douche. He doesn't seem to fit Hennigan's model of hard-working players... weird.

LOL. This is going to happen with every signing.
I think people are mostly shocked at our signings because nothing is leaking and giving people time to digest it.

Not a bad signing. Scoring off the bench guy. I like it.

If he did, you'd think Scott Perry would have let Rob know.

A team that values character above all else signs this guy for 9 million.

Don't like this. Wasn't he a crappy locker room guy in Charlotte due to lack of playing time? Wonder what his role is going to be here.

Either that second year isn't guaranteed or we are looking towards the summer of 2016 (aka Durant's summer). Not a bad signing, seem like he should be a vets minimum at this point but we might need the salary to get to the minimum salary floor.
