    "As long as we get experience and make less mistakes and shoot with more efficiency, we'll do a lot better than we usually do."

    Wow, thank you Eric Gordon, for that wonderful piece of insight.

    That’s the correct mentality to have. What kind of b**** would he be if he went into games thinking he couldn’t win?

    For anybody laughing at him, I’d never want y’all on my team if I’m hooping at the park lol

    i don't understand why more contenders do not want to trade for him. A certified 16-18 PPG off the bench, spaces the floor with deep range and plays above average defense.

    imagine if Philly traded for him a couple years ago instead of players like freaking Josh Richardson...

    he would cure Lakers, 76 and Bucks. can't wrap my head why they are not pursuing him hardly. He is like premier 3ball and all defense guy. Maybe he has wrong agent?

    He's not wrong. The turnovers are probably the most glaring issue right now. And we've seen them play great defensive possessions but the defensive effort isn't consistent yet. Honestly, this team is already looking more competitive than I expected this early in the season. And that's with both KPJ and Jalen Green being wildly inconsistent. If those guys find their strides, the team will become dangerous.

    Perhaps, in my opinion, GM's are waiting to see if he can give consistent production and, more than anything (since he's always run hot and cold, but tends to be very solid in the playoffs at both ends), can stay healthy. We've only played a few games. If EG can keep this up, GM's will be bruising their knuckles knocking on Stone's door.

    I want Tyus Jones, one of the best assist to turnover ratios in league history, only 25, good defender.

    We need a PG, one that’s attainable for 2nds. A 6’8 wing who can dunk doesn’t fix our offensive problem unless he also happens to be a really good PG.

    And well, I figured LBJ would be unavailable...?
