27/4/4 45FG% this season

Wouldn't doubt it. He'll have the green light in NO and will be expected to provide a lot of offense.

Also he was putting up 24.7 ppg, 3 rpg, 5 apg before his injury so 27 ppg won't be a big jump considering he will be the undisputed star of that team now. In a way it will be cool to see him get his own team.

Gordon: "It is disappointing because I came in here with a good group of young guys. Just to be gone from that, it's kind of dramatic"

Eric Gordon: "It is kind of tough to swallow, but I'm just a basketball player. I'm not going to have any hard feelings about it."

Kaman: "I was here eight years. I had a great time here, I met a lot of great people. I grew up and became a man here."


Eric Pincus just got off phone with Kaman and he posted this.


"I'll write it up but Chris (Kaman) calls the Clippers a playoff team - says they made a great trade"

Kaman - "It's chris paul"

"Chris didn't want to go but in his situation he wasn't going to get the best opportunity for him - so it was something he felt was best"

Very possible. 5 apg though. BTW Chris Kaman just said this was a great trade. Kaman is a very knowledgeable basketball guy who isn't shy to be brutally honest. So I'll take it as a good sign.

Outside of Gordon and Kaman, the Hornets have no offensive weapons, so I doubt Gordon averages more than 4 assist. Plus the Hornets play at a slow pace and Gordon isn't that much of a playmaker

He actually improved a ton in that area last year and this offseason. 5 apg is a guarantee from me .

If he plays a Heat Wade/Cavs LeBron primary ball handling role then 5 apg isn't unreasonable.

how much can clips give crawford? he's not going to NY and i think he takes the highest offer? who can give that?

[DevilsAssassin]

PG Jack/
SG Gordon/Marco
SF Ariza/Chief
PF Okafor/
C Kaman/

This team could end up with 2 top 5 picks........

That's what they said about Andre Miller when he averaged 13 assists for the Cavaliers oh so long ago. Great offensive players make other offensive players great.

A Gordon/Anthony Davis/Harrison Barnes core's not too damn shabby

[DevilsAssassin]

Gordon/Andre Drummond/Perry Jones III sounds a lot better

[ballsohard247]

Gordon/Drummond/Jones the 3rd sounds a lot better

[InspiredLebowski]

Whatever they end up with, Hornets (should) have a nice future. Shame it probably won't be in New Orleans. Just don't pull a Cleveland and take Tristan Thompson.

[Droid101]

You guys realize that the Timberwolves will be pretty okay this season right? That pick won't be great.

[InspiredLebowski]

It's going to be at least top 8.
