re: Eric Gordon joining Ryno in Houston 4 yr/$53Mil

so Ryno EG & Ariza on 1 team... is it really too late for them to go back and name Byron Scott as their HC?

also this signing officially ends the "death of the CP3 era" time in NOLA basketball

Eg at this point in his career for 14% of cap and for 4 year deal is pretty bad.

Having Anderson, EG and Harden on the floor at the same time would be the most disastrous Defense ever.

EG isn't even that good offensively. He can make a catch and shoot 3 from the wing but that's it. Doesn't finish at the rim, doesn't get to the line, not a good ball handler.

Who will be cornering stones now?

Take asik

Neither will touch the ball with Harden on the team.

Did he get a new knee?

Honestly man your ignorance is making my day today.

He's gonna return to his LAC days of attacking and getting to the line. Harden is gonna be great for him.

It has been two years since he's taken 30% of his shots within 3 ft. It has also been two years since he's finished at a very solid 58% as well from that range.

Since then, only 20% of his shots have come from there and he's only finished 48% of em. He's also shot the least amount of freethrows the last two years in his career.

That was all in 2013-2014 that he's been a slasher, also his last knee procedure to date.

He's a jump shooter now, he's going to space for Harden and that is it. Dude has worked hard on his shot, lateral movement and his first step is gone. What was once considered an average defender, he's now a liability. He can handle the ball in spurts, but Harden is not going to get much more help from EG...I would have went for Lin honestly; at least you can depend on him for a full season. EG's issues are freak injuries at this point as his knee seems fine, issue is the damage has been done and he's not going to get that kind of athleticism back.

You can't spin it any better, I am one of the few on PT that actually liked EG and actually wanted to keep him if we didn't land Hield. That is the truth about EG now, he's a good shooter and that is about it.

I'd like to make another bet with you.

You're the best troll/homer on TD. Never ever change.
