    I think they are far better than our second and third scoring options from last year.

    Shouldn't the question be, why didn't we have a realistic shot at some of them?

    How many games did we win 2 seasons ago with dwight missing most of the season..defence is overrated..if you have a good offense that automatically makes you better defensively.. We will have a better record then last season for sure..if healthy of coarse..

    I think we got two rotational players that both have an elite skill . They are also both deficient enough in other areas to perhaps warranting that they should come off the bench .

    I think we took a big gamble , hopefully it pays off . The money will take time for me to wrap my head around it .

    I think Gordon has a high upside and maybe he can buck the trend and get healthy .

    I hope Anderson can play multiple positions defensively .

    I think these two guys would look great as bench gunners/ throw one in with he starters for insane offense .

    I think Gordon can play the point defensively, he used to be a top athlete , maybe he gets that back .

    These guys are definitely good enough to be rotation players on a contender , I just don't think they are good enough to be starters . If we can get some more talent in the starting lineup then I love these pickups . If not , I think we max out as a 4-5 type seed team .

    Not for Gordon. And what's done is done, both are Rockets now. Just need to get a rim protector and rebounding beast at the 5 and another 3-D wing to complement them.

    I think, given what was available in this FA, we did well. I would prefer to have Courtney Lee on Gordon's contract, but maybe with a stroke of luck he can play over 60 games this next season and prove his worth.

    anderson way too much. should've been 1-2 years or smaller 4 year deal.
    gordon not bad on its own, but with anderson is too risky

    not a terrible start to the offseason but not a good one either. they need to make some trades

    Gordon, Anderson, and (presumably D-Mo) are all going to be rotation players. What could possibly go wrong?

    :p

    Not excited at this point. Acquired two injury prone players that won't make us contenders even if healthy. Would rather just go young than tread water. Will hope for the best and root for the team, but not very optimistic. Hard to watch teams that play no defense.

    I think is a lot of money
    but no team signs a bargain contract there.
    Every single player gets paid
    grampa Crawford 42M for 3 years:eek:

    20M for Anderson sounds crazy

    Gordon sounds better
    if he stays healty, it can be a great adition
