Gordon certainly would’ve gotten more this summer (coming off a season like he had two years ago) that he did last summer, because there would have been more teams bidding.

Joe Dumars was in an advantageous position last summer, having cap room few other teams did, and he didn’t take advantage of it.

(Although, that's largely based on having more upside than Felton, not production so far.)</p> Nuetes, I think he would have gotten more money than Felton — not a ton, but more.

I don't know. I'm curious what Gordon would've been paid had he been a FA this season instead of last. I mean, Joe Johnson got $20 million, and he's not significantly better than Gordon. If Gordon even just gets back to where he was in Chicago, his deal (and Rip's, for that matter) doesn't look as bad as some other SGs around the league. “We already did that (twice last summer) and lost.”

If he was a free agent this summer its unlikely he would be any more coveted than felton, and maybe even less so.

No sense getting in a bidding war with ourselves for a middling player on the eve of a new CBA. We already did that (twice last summer) and lost.
