I hear you and agree to a certain extent

All I can say in reply is that Gordon gives the roster a sense of purpose. The defense was bad and still plenty of roster holes, but you could see the beginnings of a real basketball team w/ Gordon on the floor.

This isnt really true. His USAGE rate was around 30%. Thats up there with the Durants/LeBrons. If anything, he needs another guy who can get his own shot and an actual system for late game situations.

Definitely this.

Our late game situations were so predictable last season. All opposing teams had to do was deny Gordon or Ryno the ball, and the possession ended up with a Vasquez prayer. But y'all know I think Monty is responsible for part of that.

We need a scoring 3.
