I actually rather have Stephenson.

Gordon is above average i'd say and he has a good amount of potential.....if you want an incredibly average SG go look at Gerald Henderson


I'd say he's above average with zero potential. Emphasis on "zero".

This entire free agency period has been boring and dull as hell.

Gordon is a sign & trade candidate. Cho did not work hard enough!!! July 1st. July **** FIRST. Cho has a big fact zero, like Bonnell.

Henderson is still here. Cho still hasn't been able to move him.

Cho lost McRoberts.

I'm getting furious.

What do you mean by offer? Contract offer? What about sign & trade offer?

Id rather him do nothing than overpay like 98% of the league has done thus far.

What do you mean by offer? Contract offer? What about sign & trade offer?


From what I have read you have to wait until the July Moratorium or however the is spelled is over. Not sure though.

Overpay in comparison to what low reference point bargain? If all bids out there are 'overpay' then those amounts describe a new market rate, the going rate, the normal rate.

Exactly so for one whole week now this **** guy has been working on trades supposedly and he has nothing. Hayward's leaving and all we got was a blurb from Aldridge. **** pathetic.

I was 'kinda' okay with simply overpaying for Gordon. A sign & trade giving up actual assets (ie not a douchebag package centered around gerald henderson) is out of the question.

and ffs. no move is better than a stupid move. yal must've forgot where we were prior to last year :banghead:

lets revisit getting hyped for tyrus thomas. that was fun. :roll:

I don't really mind giving Hayward a max contract, but if we have to give up assets on top of giving him that contract then thats just too much.
