Gordon cant be drafted for one... for two joe is healthier... third hes a better player and much better value on a team if you ignored cap hit... only thin gordon has is more potential... And id argue hes better than harden... harden still comes off bench and choked in finals... jojo is more clutch and has been an allstar...
Allen 3 yeara ago, he was avg starter last yr... hes a 3pt specialist now, thats all... 1. Kobe 2. Wade 3. Manu 4. Jojo 5. Harden 6. Gordon
Harden is better he had a bad finals. Harden is an allstar and Gold medalist at age 22 >>> joe Johnson sucks in playoffs.. Comes 5th.
Look harden is my favorite player but he cowered in the finals... was scared to hold the ball shoot or dribble... acted like a b****...jojo shot a low percentage in the playoffs but hit big shots... he isnt 'afraid' of the moment or pressure... Honestly you can argue 4/5 all you want idk, the truth is he is a top5 sg... and gordon isnt that close at all imo...
well fair enough. but I just can't do it. Tyson simply makes much more sense next to Blake. both Noah and Chandler are similar as rim protectors, but Chandler is amazing defending other bigs in the paint. One of the best. Better than Noah. For me, that's important, since Blake struggles with it. For you, it's less important, since Aldridge is great at it. And Noah is probably the best PnR defender among centers. But that's one area where Blake is pretty good defensively... Noah is also one of the few centers able to switch onto Dirks/even guards and cover them well. He's also much better at closing out on shooters than Chandler. Which is the need for you, since that's something Aldridge isn't very good at. idk. i understand that you like him, i like him too, but you are asking me to give a center who's a much better fit for me, while for your team there's little difference, maybe even negative... just can't.
In the rest of the playoffs harden was hitting big 3s and stepped up in key moments. Can't say the same about johnson. He shoots terribly and is just bad in the playoffs.
yes, but i'd have less depth and defense. Prince is a great defender. Chandler is a perfect fit next to Blake. Going to Gay adds some offense, but i'm not sure my team is improved.
Donna I appreciate the time you put out in such a thoughtful message. Couldn't ask for a more honest comment.. I would rep you 10 times if I could.. lol
