Who hurt their dollar value more this season after not taking their teams offers last summer?

Gordon.
Undersized volume scorers don't get paid much. [Unlike legit young bigs and great young swingmen]

i think its either okafor or Gordon..
but Okafor wants the max
No way a 14/10 guy gets a max especially when he hasnt improved much but staying healthy

Gordon. He had a great year in 06-07, but was sub par this year.

I have to say Okafor. If only because Iggy proved he's worth as much as he was offered, or more, and Gordon wasn't offered all that much to begin with (5/50). He'll likely get something like 3/27, imo, so he has a chance for a bigger contract later on.

This is more on point with what I was wondering. Think of it in terms of what they passed up Vs what they might now get.

Exactly. Gordon's been the worst of them all...but he had the lowest value to begin with, imo.

Gordon is still going to get around 10 mil a year, so I say Okafor.

Okafor will get his. Young defensive centers get paid.
Undersized, chucking SG's coming off a horrible season on the other hand....

okafor will get his, just that his under utilized for some odd reason.
If dalembert got his, i see why okafor cant get his when his better than dalembert.
the longer okafor becomes a nobody, the distance between him and d12 continues to widen, same could be said about al jef.

I wouldn't say 19/3/3, 43.4 FG%/41.0 3PT%/90.8 FT% is a horrible season either.

Iguodala is a very overrated player. This coming from a person who has seen every Sixers game since he's been a Sixer. He is a ball hog benefiting from being on a team with no real offensive talent. Other scorers around the league like even Gordon would average much more than Iggy's 19ppg if they were given the same sort of opportunity to dominate the ball for the entire game with a complete greenlight and no fear of being benched. Iguodala had the opportunity to average 35PPG and/or 12assists. He was put into the "Franchise player" role for the Sixers and only produced 19ppg. Even Ricky Davis averaged 20ppg in this league. Additionally Iguodala is a terrible "off ball" player (no jump shot, poor finisher outside of simple dunks, unwilling to put his body on the line and absorb contact when driving). His stats and production were not noteworthy when he was on the same team with Webber and Iverson when he was NOT allowed to dominate the ball like he has since they left the team.

Ben Gordon.... he kind of fell off the map this year almost, he wasnt the usual scoring threat I'd expected him to be against many teams, or maybe it was just the coaching or youth movement
