My God UNO sometimes I think you drink and post :hihi: The post you quoted was about the contract he's on NOW, instead of letting him walk before he signed it. :hihi: Not about what we do with him over the summer or afterward.

His brother posted the picture. Eric probably just texted a picture to his brother.

Eric does enough to hurt his own image. He didn't do this. His brother was probably feeling brotherly and sticking up for him and wanted people to see.

Eric Gordon has been impressive lately; I'm not complaining. In the times i've played bball (never on an organized team or anything, but with friends at a gym or something), I've rolled my ankle numerous times. **** happens. Doesn't mean he's glass. The fact that he's not sitting out ALL games (not just 2nds of back to backs) means that he can play through some injury.

Anyway, I'm on board the "Keep Gordon" express for the time being. His ankle will be fine.

VASQUEZ ON THE OTHER HAND... THAT GUY PLAYS NO DEFENSE AND NEEDS TO GO! AMIRITE?

Didn't you hear ? If you're slow you can get injured unless someone elbows you.

Lol. Tbf to gravy he hustles and plays hard. I do think that the high flyers tend to be more injury prone, but i think that has more to do with putting your body in harms way and a higher chance of landing awkwardly. The Rynos and Gravys can be incredibly durable, and thats very valuable.

Monte Ellis- Traded, didn't let him walk out the door.
Derron Williams- Told the Jazz he wouldn't resign and was traded. Got value. Didn't just let him walk out the door.
Joe Johnson- Traded, got value, didn't let him just walk out the door.
Ben Wallace- Aging vet on a team that was breaking up that did not have a balanced game at all. He sucked in Chicago and the Pistons made the right decision. So you.. got 1.

Grant Hill was also traded to Orlando in a S&T that I believe netted Detroit both Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups. Williams was traded for a huge bounty. And Monta Ellis wasn't or isn't the player Gordon is.

They should still be able to get something for Gordon if they want to move him, and if so matching was the confirmed right move.

Further proving NBA teams move on from talented players.

So we are both satisfied.

I say teams move on from talent. You say they get something solid in return.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. We don't have to be at each others throats all the time. (Consider this the olive branch)
