People need to stop with this. He's not opting out.

Smoothing also isn't the panacea it's made out to be. It sounds like what the league wants to do is artificially lower wages by giving extra money directly to the players union rather than to teams to raise the salary cap. It didn't sound like the players were going to go for it.

I still think a buyout is a legit option if Gordon gets out of this slump. That only requires him taking $10 million from us and getting a better than MLE contract on the open market.
