Man some of you are going to be upset when we sign Gordon for near max money

But you shouldn't be. 

I’m not excited by that prospect either.  Definitely a risk.  If he makes good strides over the next couple of years it’s a big win. If he doesn’t, we have another untradeable player on a long contract that hurts us.

He’ll fit right in.

Nah he's never going to be untradable because even if he's basically a 15 ppg energy guy (basically the aggregate of the last two years) he's still going to be considerably valuable because he can switch 5 positions on defense. 

So get him to take a 4 year deal to hedge a little bit and if in two years he hasn't made progress it's not going to be really difficult to move him. And if you can't find a great deal at that point the rest of the crappy deals have already fallen off at that point so it's no big issue to just wait his contract out for another year and he's just a giant 25 year old expiring contract that would considerably help a young team trying to take a step forward in the playoffs. 

It's different with Wiggins who is inefficient on offense, a poor defender, has three years of pretty stagnant numbers, and 5 years of a Max extension ahead of him.

AG is one I would keep. His work in the off season shows how determined he is to be great. Idk if he’ll get there but he will improve. Now for vuc and Evan they have peaked and we need to move them at all costs. Even if we have to take back a bad contract as long as it only two years. Their mindsets have to be eliminated from this teams culture.

Couldn't agree more

AG is a tough call. I wouldn't want to be the one to make it!

 

Really shouldn’t be that tough. NBA management 101 - Don’t let assets walk for nothing

I'm keeping AG. Oladipo is proof that you can't give up on a guy after 4 years. He Just became an All Star in season 5 after being traded twice. In hindsight our trading of him looks awful. I'm willing to gamble overpaying AG this summer to ensure we don't miss out on him blowing up. Gordon Haywards another guy who got better in year 5 and beyond.

Problem with that is that there are also plenty of guys who in hindsight one might wish we got rid of earlier, including Vuch and EP.  You can't really look after the fact at one particular player and generalize that what happened to him would also happen to everyone else.  There are tons of examples of "busts" where teams overpaid players and wound up regretting it.
