What Is Gordon's Ceiling???

There isn't really any need to feel sorry for a guy who is contracted to earn ~$130million over 4 years and and has regained enough health to be out and about and able to run and jump..

Super sad tho. I hope he regains his form and become an all-star.

JK!

I feel sorry for Gordon and hope in a year or two he is back to his all-star level (that is his ceiling). Most likely case is he at best can be described as an above average starter paid the max. After his current contract expires, he will play a few years and then Gordon will retire and never be thought of again, except for when Jazz and Celtics fans complain about him. Then, in old age he will look back at his lack of legacy and wonder how different it would have been if he had stayed in Utah.

He’d been a god had he stayed here

He probably doesn’t get hurt, which is like 99% of his problems right now.

He’d be Mitchell’s robin, scoring 18-25 a night (Mitchell’s life would be easier as well. I’d bet that if Gordon was still here, Mitchell would be averaging 25-30 right now). He’d probably been an all star again last year as the Jazz won 55+.

He is exactly what Utah needs right now, preinjury.

We’d probably have 35-40 wins right now as well.

Losing him was devastating for him and Utah.
 
Boston was up 6 on the Lakers with 1:24 left and ended up losing. Hayward went off, though.
 
I never understood how Boston or the Jazz would ever sign him to the max. I’ve never seen him as a max guy. Now Boston is seeing it. The guy can be a decent 2 or 3rd option. But he’s always been so inconsistent when he was here. Some nights he was on but majority of the time he struggled. And when the pressure was on he was no where to be seen. I hope the best for him as one person to another. But we are seeing who I always knew him to be. Decent. But not a max player.

Easy for Utah. If you are Utah, it's a no brainer to sign him to the max. You are underpaying Gobert. You have no one else (at the time signing Hayward). You lose Hayward, you go from a 50 win team to a 25-30 win team. UNLESS you get lucky and draft Donovan Mitchell. Even then, you pay Hayward the max because you are only paying Mitchell a minimum salary. So, 31+23+3=57 million for three all star level players. That is Golden State level efficiency. You could add another max deal to your team.

Losing Hayward was a devastating mistake on DL's part. We had a shot to win a title looking back in hindsight and now it's gone.

Maybe the worst thing to happen to Utah Jazz nation.
