If we can't get in the mix on a superstar, I wouldn't be surprised if they bring Ryno back next year. I have a harder time seeing Gordon here long term unless he does more than hit's 3s this season. He did look in even better shape in a recent photo, and that's on top of coming into camp last year the slimmest we've ever seen him.
That is weird, because I feel the exact opposite, but it's more because of how much we are already paying our front court (about 42 mil per year between AD/Ajinca/Asik) and the fact that when you look out on the market, there are always suitable bigs. Heck, DC can be our 4th big for 3 mil.
I don't see either back, but I can envision Gordon easier, because let's say we get a KD or Melo - Gordon can play in that lineup and finish games, while there would be no spot for Ryno. Or even if we get a Batum or Parsons, those guys can finish at the 4. I just don't see room for Ryno long term.

Ajinca and Asik are making appropriate amounts percentage wise. If Ryno can do the same on his next deal how is this any different than when we first got Asik and had fantasies about a perfectly balanced 3 big rotation? I don't recall anyone saying "This will work as long as AD's on his rookie contract but after that we have to break it up."
Despite being terrible on defense, Ryno + AD has lead to some great numbers. If Gentry and his staff can highlight the positive and minimize the negatives of this group, the opposite of what Monty was able to do, how are they too expensive unless someone throws a near max at Ryno? Sure you don't keep Ryno over KD, and probably not even over Batum, but if you don't end up getting a big money SF upgrade, it's not like we should just let him walk.
