re: Eric Gordon is not likely to play in Saturday's preseason opener

Everything depends on how he looks playing where he does now. If he sucks this year, he probably won't get much of a contract. I don't think he would have broke the bank here and would have given us a bit of a hometown discount. They probably could have locked him down on a multi year at about 6m per, if they negotiated early. He would have still been a good value.

I think Jarret Jack is a good barometer for Vasquez' value and he got 4/$25. Not great but still manageable. The problem with Vasquez is he's basically the PG version of Okafor. He's good enough to put up respectable numbers, but he will get crushed by the elites at his position which means you have no hope in the playoffs with him as your starter, especially considering how stacked the PG position is vs. the Center position.
