all I know is when the Suns offered the Max to Gordon, Demps had to match it.

We could no longer sign and trade him at that point. Our choice was sign him or let him go.

If we let him go we essentially gave up Paul for Austin Rivers and Aminu. Now, Aminu has certainly improved this past offseason and is playing great.

You could argue that a sign and trade should have been aggressively pursued prior to the max contract being offered, though.

not the full story, but even if it was, it's better than what the hornets otherwise would have gotten...
