Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3935466, member: 168"] Okafor's back was an issue in the season in question, too, right? So the injury in question affected both the season we're discussing and the rest of his career. He may have been a much better pro than he was, but that injury [I]is[/I] that injury, and that injury cost him many games at the beginning and end of the 2004 season. Gordon was someone they loved and he had some great games. He had a glorious series against the Celtics. He was a very good offensive piece but a disaster on defense. If he were more than "a good piece" they would have tried to hold onto him more than they did. The team was better without him (part of that is of course because of Rose made him dispensable, but that's the problem, he was dispensable). [/QUOTE]
