One of the best article about why Eric Gordon should be traded, and why he is probably next to Josh Smith in tradeability.

quote:

With him on the floor, New Orleans is being outscored by 4.9 points per 100 possessions. When Gordon sits, the Pelicans have a plus-4.0 net rating, which would be tied for the ninth-best mark in the league.

The Pelicans' defense, the biggest thing keeping them out of the playoff picture, sees the most dramatic change when he's taken out of the equation. New Orleans goes from a top-10 defense (101.4 points allowed per 100 possessions, good for eighth overall) to the league's worst (109.4, the 30th ranked Utah Jazz allow 107.5) simply by giving Gordon floor time.

The plus minus can be a useful stat but not all of the time.
