I love how you guys remove the words "should be" from your brains so you can hate on eg some more.

I say should be because he's never been healthy since he's been here.


In his healthiest season (this past year), EG turned into an elite three point shooter and finally showed a little more exsplosivness in getting to the rim. Keep in mind that I said a little. I don't want you guys getting butthurt thinking that I said he's exsplosive at the rim all the time.

This season he should be fully healthy and fully IN SHAPE. that's a huge deal that most of you jack wagons overlook.

About dwade-he was the main cog in that offense, especially when bosh went down and dragic came over and was figuring shite out. He also took waaay more shots than Eric, who really just needs to be the third cog in the offense.

Korver is a fricking liability on d even compared to EG, but since he shoots threes at an elite rate he's valued over EG, who can SHOOT THE THREE AT AN ELITE RATE

Butler is more of a 3

So yeah. He should have a floor of top 10 sg next year with a ceiling of top 5. I hope he throws up 18 5 and 5 to stick it to the ignorant fricks on this board

Solo korvers stats on d are inflated because that ATL team was all defense. He guarded the worst offensive player each game.

I just don't understand why people hate on him so much after what happened last year.

He turned down surgery to play and win.

He was a key player during the reg season push for the playoffs.

He ran great pick and rolls with AD.

He went to that watch party in Nola totally unannounced, which really showed me that he's trying to get this city's respect.

5 of the best SGs:

Harden
Klay
Butler
Wade
Olidapo


Which one is EG better than next year?

He will probably be better than old Dwayne Wade next year.

This is some of the dumbest shite. Honestly. Gordon is a talented player who had injury problems. He ended up being overpaid (OMG!!! That's never happened in the NBA before).

I couldn't care less where he's "ranked" at the moment. He played well most of this past season and is a valuable asset . . . whether traded as an expiring OR re-signed with a reasonable contract and contributing to an up and coming team.

Easy. Wade or oliadipo


Wade can still finish but his body is breaking down and he's not getting younger. He may not even be in Miami next year and if he goes to a title contending team he's gonna take a back seat to whatever superstar he's playing with.

I like oliadipo a lot. He can defend and he fills up the stat sheet. But he can't shoot. He cannot shoot. He cannot shoot. It's bad. But I would not be surprised if he remained in that top 5 tier.

Again, I don't understand why me saying top 10 with top 5 potential is retarded. He's a smart player and he can shoot. His athleticism has been hindered with injuries. If he doesn't get hurt this year he can do some things that will turn heads. Like be a top 3 3 point shooter in the leagOHWAITHEDIDTHATALREADY.

Whether or not he actually ranks that high, your opinion is not "retarded". There is some seriously exaggerated bias against Gordon, Asik and Anderson on this board from time to time. But this is a sports message board. It is retarded to expect rational, even handed discussion most of the time.

I would never re-sign Gordon he is such a bad fit. You guys act like someone shooting 3's in the NBA is so hard to find.

A catch and shoot guy that can knock down 3s as at a high clip and plays defense.

Who wouldn't want him right?

Nevermind that only 1 guy in the entire league made them with more efficiency.

Agreed. I'd love for him to remain on this team as a 3 and D guy at the right price...and healthy.

He is a 3 guy. He is no longer a D guy. Which is a problem...

Also, to the individual saying EG will be better than Wade or Olidapo next year...I chuckled.

with all due respect, he could be better than Wade because of injury and age. Then again, EG has been injured every year since he has arrived, so that may be a moot point.

Olidapo is ready to take the next step, and anyone that would take EG over him is nuts.

All of my EG facts are further up the chain if you would like to read them. I'm excited to see our top 5 SG next year.
