Right, but I was just thinking if he signed Lee to an offer first he may have waited to offer BG until he knew the result. At that point BG may have signed elsewhere.

I've got Ben Gordon buyer's remorse.
Vinny (and several others, Herm, etc) was in on the ground floor with this.

Nobody was 2nd guessing the Gordon signing until he got hurt.
I think he should still be starting.

Also, Vinny (who lives in Chicago) was very vocal about not wanting Joe to sign Gordon.

Ain't no way NY match a starting salary of $9 mil for Lee.
And this is the bad thing about rebuilding - you can go back and find all the things we shoulda done that would have created an alternate reality.
The Darko Draft is THE fucking day that things started to go bad. No one knew it then. Not me, not Joe, not Chris, not Glenn, not anyone. But from that point on we were headed down a long and lonesome road and Jack Black wasn't there to sing Tribute either.
The Beast wasn't stung, he roared the fuck up and hammered our beloved franchise and doomed us to this mediocre existence.
Go back and check our history from that point on - sure we won a title the very next year but the ride after that is in a decline. We lost key players for shit, saving money became the priority (not winning titles) and slowly but surely we've descended into this pit of hell from which we all pray we emerge some time rather soon.
So come the fuck on Joe. Do it one last time. Not to silence the doubters. The Pharoahs, the WTFChris', the Mick Nuggets. No. Fuck them! Do it to prove to the true believers, the hearts and souls, that Yes, Joe Dumars is the greatest (pause for drama) General Fucking Manger in the History of the World (head tilt, look into the barrell of the camera)...
Joe Dumars!
worst franchise in the history of sports. detroit deserves better. Hopefully they move soon and we can get the clippers or one of those good franchises that really know what theyre doing.
