    Unless Wiggins is playing defense at All-NBA levels, it's still a terrible trade based just on salary. Why take on $40M in extra salary obligations over the next few years for someone who won't figure into our future plans and isn't easily tradeable for good assets?

    Gordon can't help himself but be really dumb with his shot selection and over dribbling.

    If he just stopped taking 10 3's a game from the logo, or stop dribbling more than 5 times in a possession he'd be a positive on the court all the time instead of 1 out of 5 games.

    You'd think he realize his 3pt shooting is %, and that he should step a little closer...

    Ironic that Wiggins has the exact same PPP on iso as Gordon.

    I was against the extension for Gordon from the beginning I never understood why Morey did it.

    And I once thought Gordon was a notch below Klay.

    pretty sure most didn't forecast EG all of a sudden becoming a 30% shooter. his shot becoming this broken in a span of ~2 years still remains a mystery

    Still don't understand why this guy continually shoots his threes 3-4 feet behind the line...you're not ****ing Steph or Dame!!!

    How bout just taking regular threes...that might help him shoot better.

    Also, just because he makes a three doesn't give him the green light to jack up a 30 footer while we are on a run...a possession we could've probably gotten a better shot to increase our lead or build momentum.

    Sorry, this guy has sucked so bad with his shot selection and ends up killing our momentum or dig our team in a bigger hole.
