I thought the same thing when I read it
Gordon had 3/4 or one year when he looked like a difference maker, based on that (and the trade) he got 58MM

whatever
If he's good this year (history does not bode well) then all the better
if he's not he will be someone else's albatross

I know I am too hard on the guy, but some of the stuff is just to much to take. Like he couldn't suffer through another rebuild when he got traded to NO. But the Clippers sucked the whole time he was there. They only started to be decent when Griffin exploded on the scene, but still were a sub .500 team. Paul gets there and they are a top 4 seed. NO was supposed to be this horrible franchise, but had been in the playoffs 3 of the 5 previous years before that season. The article said that NO was the most dysfunctional franchise in the league, but we were a top 10 squad. Then it tries to act like it's all different now, when it's the exact same management. It just doesn't make sense.

I get that it's a sunshine type of article trying to cast him in a positive light. But all it did was throw everybody else under the bus and I'm tired of being told as a fan that I don't get him or he is misunderstood. Or the contract stuff wasn't his fault. Just get over it all and play. Show you are a leader and lead. Be a great player. But he won't and he never has.

I also like the one part where he could have tested the market and could have got a better deal. He is basically trying to copy K. Korver's role as a 3pt specialist now. Korver makes 6M a year. Gordon makes almost 16M. He knows he couldn't have got anywhere near that much money for a season. The article is just full of these..
