Holiday is an upgrade over Vasquez, no doubt, but so much so that we move from lotto to contender?


Not alone, but it should definitely get us more wins when you factor in his much greater quickness and his elite defense vs. no defense. Playoffs this year will really depend upon a healthy Gordon, though, unless we get a really good SF.

But to go from where we were last season to where we want to be, you are looking at 25 game swing, I don't think one player, unless he is Lebron, Kobe, etc. can do that.

Another reason why I have my reservations. A healthy Gordon hasn't been around for almost 3 years.

My biggest hope for this draft was getting rid of Gordon. It just breaks my heart we are pinning our hopes on him for the 3rd straight season, with really nothing to show for it. Once McLemore was still there, I got really excited. We could have drafted him, had a good replacement for Gordon and then found a workable trade deal for Gordon (who still has to have more value than Vasquez). There has to be another big move on the horizon..
