    Our offense is our defense. Our up and down fast paced system will wear out the other team's players!

    I'm predicting the Rockets will be the first team to play an entire game only shooting 3 pointers.

    Cole Aldrich is unrestricted, right? He was drafted by the Pelicans, at least. Let's go for the trifecta!

    At least he's not recovering from neck/back injuries, those never recover completely.

    Like to see a PG trade or Beverley a bench player.

    Locking these types up to long term deals is the right decision given two things.

    1) rising cap

    and

    2) D'Antoni's system

    Both Gordon and Anderson will have an inflated trade value with great offensive numbers in this offense as well as long term deals at numbers that team's will consider reasonable.

    Desperate signings today but I guess you have to take what you can get because the Rox are not a popular destination for FAs at this point.

    Seeing lots of 130 vs 120 point games with the coach and this system. Not mad at the contract, but we seriously need big depth on the bench. Still seeing a 42/42 team.

    You guys can say all you want, Gordon, Harden, Ariza, Anderson, Dmo/Beasley are going to be a blast to watch offensively. that team is top five offensively.

    This is a very nice signing. You guys are acting like Gordon is 30+. He is only 27 and with the correct management and training on his body I'm sure he will remain healthy and contribute to this team.
