I will be the 1st to say that I was expecting the consistency that should come with such a contract, but didn't see it.
didn't, but now you do?
For one I don't get why he's the game 'closer'. It worked the 1st 2 times we went that way but now that he's been scouted on this it's not as efficient now.
It would certainly be an interesting strategy to go to someone besides your best playmaker to initiate offense down the stretch.
Any comments about Gordon's consistency need to be with an asterisk: the dude needs help creating and taking shots on the perimeter. That was true even when Burks was healthy; now it's especially true. Burke, Ingles, Exum, Hood (even when healthy), DLeaguer.... that's pretty fuggin rough.

Um, he's the "closer" because he's the best at creating his own shot without developing tunnel vision. In other words, he's the best improvisor with the ball in his hands. That much is pretty obvious, dude, like it or not.
