Not hard to do..Thats because there are only 3-4 good ones in the whole league right now. After Kobe and Wade the drop off is steep. And teams arent going to pay him a ton of money if he only plays a handful of games this season. This kid is fragile and labeled already in his young career and shows very little heart. Whatever the offer was he declined, NO was right in offering him what they did. Let someone else baby him. Thats exactly how teams end up the way they do by overpaying and not getting return on their investment. Kudos David Stern ( for once)

Then he’d be an UNrestrictred free agent in 18 months.

I think Gordon to Indy to go back home would be better fit and more likely.

It is Hey and not Hay.

And Bite not bight..

Hope you were just being sarcastic.

As the article stated he is a shooting guard and not really a PG.

It would be neat to see him end up back in Indiana with George Hill though.

It all makes sense now.

Given their current ownership/front office situation he will either get traded before the deadline or ride out this year and enter the Free Agency Market.

Not to mention, who wants to play for the league-owned Hornets? Especially a guy who was promised he wouldn’t be traded. Either 1) Eric Gordon has an inflated perception of his worth and rejected a good deal, 2) He was lowballed and rejected the deal, or 3) He simply doesn’t want to play in New Orleans, no matter the offer.

Let someone offer him that first, and then match it. There is no risk of losing a RFA by not overpaying in January. Best case scenario: no one offers him the max, and NO just matches the best offer. Worst case scenario: someone offers max and NO matches.

Sprinkle in some Derrick Williams and you have yourself something special.

Now it’s pay the man time and we’re not sure how much to pay for said potential? If Gordan doesn’t become at least a top 10 pg in this league you’ve already paid too much. If he doesn’t resign, you really paid too much. But hay, nobody cares how the sausage is made, until they bight into a rats tail!!!!
