There's risk with Gordon too obviously, but when he's on the court he's thus far been a much better player than Batum. Netting Anderson and Gordon constitutes a much better FA period. I think Batum could fulfill that contract, but he's got a long way to go; and if they give Stietsma enough money to "make Boston not match", I'd wager they'll probably overpay there, too.
