He wouldn't...he isn't opting out of that last year, it is insane to think otherwise.


I think under the right circumstances he would. If he can pick his team, and feels as though he can significantly contribute, he could turn that voided year into something like a 4 year deal for 30M+, and still be a bargain for a team.

It would take the right circumstances, and I hope Dell is trying to figure out exactly what it would take.

That's a lot of "ifs"...and it centers around a player giving up 15+ in guaranteed money that he won't get close to again. It is possible he is that desperate to get out of NOLA, but he hasn't been a factor in three years and I'm not sure teams see him as a "missing piece" given his injury concerns.

I find it hard to believe a team is willing to commit anything longer-term to Eric Gordon at a price where it would even remotely make sense for him financially...no team is giving Gordon 30+ million right now.

This whole "Gordon might opt-out" thing just makes Pelicans fans feel better...like the idea he might have trade value.
