Ha ha ha.

Chris Paul for Austin Rivers and cap space.

Enjoy it, for basketball reasons.

Man I hope this doesn't become a Odom Miami/LA type situation. We have to keep him.

[Levity]

if they s/t him to the suns, who would they ask for back? gortat?

[Anti Hero]

Come on S&T w/ Phx.

Still, NOLA can just say to bad to what he wants.

A couple of those tasty Laker draft picks.

Kendall Marshall? They have Dragic now and Dragic is still young.

Honestly, I thought NOH should have drafted Marshall to begin with, even though 10 would have been a bit high. Someone like Davis with the best passing PG prospect to come out in how long? It's a perfect fit.

If he really wants out of New Orleans, accept the Qualifying Offer and become an Unrestricted Free Agent next year.

We know he won't do that. He'll just whine until he gets what he wants.

He's afraid of Rivers taking over his spot in a year or two?

Seriously though, I HATE when players act like this. NO should keep him if they want him or do a S&T if there's a solid offer out there. If they keep him and he pouts and doesn't play well then his value will drop, hurting him as much as anyone.

If players want the right to choose their teams then they should sign 1 year contracts. You want a long term contract, deal with the downsides of it too.

New Orleans is going to have to play this smart, if they bring back and he just ends up disgruntled, it will destroy their locker-room chemistry. The smart move might be just to let him walk for draft picks in a S&T and then bring in a guy like Mayo as a replacement.

[BlackVVaves]

NOH's future was looking good with Gordon and Davis.

If Gordon leaves......yea not so much.

This. at Gordon, I say s&t him for Kendall Marshall, draft picks and fillers.

Pg - Marshall
Sg - Rivers
Sf - Aminu
Pf - Davis
C - Kaman? Will he be back?

[Maniak]

How can you hate what he's doing?

Here's the situation:

The Suns offered him a max contract and told him he would be a cornerstone for their franchise blah blah blah. He really took to liking Phoenix and his brother or whatever is going to college nearby blah blah blha.

Aside from drafting a shooting guard in the draft, the Hornets have done nothing related to Eric Gordon and haven't talked with him.

He clearly likes the pitch Phoenix gave him and likes the direction the franchise is going in.

Who the helis Eric Gordon to say he doesn't want to play in new Orleans?

NO should match the offer and EG better learn to like being a hornet.

This cat hasn't even played a full season and he's trying to control shiiiiit like he's melo or cp3. Smh just feel blessed your in the Nba wow

[bagelred]

If I'm the Hornets, I ask for all the picks Suns just got from the Lakers, plus Suns unprotected #1 this year. If they do that, let them have him in a Sign and Trade.

Gordon for max contract isn't worth it anyway........
