Charlie V makes about a mill over the MLE this year. He is making about a third of number one option money. He is not stopping any team from doing anything. Not a good deal but not a cap crusher. He certainly has all the talent to be a starting pf, maybe they can get something out of him yet. He is not even a year removed from averaging 16 and 6.7. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't we currently paying someone more who hasn't even played a game for us.
I apologize for not expounding better. My worthy opponent Kush was spouting out the usual pro-Gordon talking points and using that psychology some of you seem to have down when talking about BG. Which is to denigrate EVERYBODY ELSE around him in order to promote his position. Happened here with Rose and Hinrich and even the people who coached him. Now in Detroit, he is somehow linked with Charlie V. Kush disagreed with me that Gordon should not have gotten that contract, and begin to speak of the advantages of signing Gordon and the disadvantages of signing Charlie V. Kush (putting Charlie V's name right under my name and Kirk Hinrich's on the "satan list") stated that Charlie V was a waste of money and shouldn't have gotten that contract. He stated that Charlie V has never been the number one option on any team. I then replied that he didn't get number one option money so there was no argument there, I think Charlie V's contract is a decent one all things considered. The team would have a much easier time moving Charlie's contract than Gordon's...
As far as the Gordon/Ellis argument, that came up because I said Gordon shouldn't get paid one red cent more than Ellis, who is a better player. So Kush went into "Rev. Kush" mode and started denigrating Ellis' abilities on the court, simplifying them by calling him a system player. So I responded by being very peaceful and serene...
And so there you have it, I was just making a point and Kush used his bully pulpit to beat up on little ol' me. Damn shame...lol!
