I think Benjy is shorter than Monta. It is also arguable that Monta is younger and a better player. So honestly why would anyone want Ben Gordan? If he had a hint of PG skills then maybe he would get more respect, but since he is a rich man's Eddie House he wont get $12 mill. I think $10mill a yr is overpaying for Benjy and thats my boy.
I just find it funny that every team is on a budget now gearing up for the 2010 sweepstakes.
And I can't blame any team either. I mean with lebron possibly a FA then, wouldn't you want a shot at him or chris bosh? it would be a shame not to be a player in that sweepstakes.. just a shame!!
Yeah I can't blame anyone that feels they can't win now for trying to get in that sweepstakes. You turn yourself into an instant playoff team and possibly title contender so why not. The key is not to put all your eggs in one basket and to have a base of solid players or else these players won't come to you. Number two you have to make sure that if you lose out on the sweepstakes you aren't starting from zero.
exactly...
Maybe it's just me but I cannot see Lebron leaving Cleveland.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Naah, he cares about winning so much that he took less money to play for a contender

I'm not sure what to think. He's Ohio raised so he may want to stick with home. But he also seems to be a guy that is interested in World Wide exposure. He's obviously going to get this no matter where he plays, but his profile raises into the stratosphere if he wins in a place like NY or Chicago etc. That may sway his decision.
