I've been fairly quiet about this guy for a while. I didn't want to bash him but I was getting a little annoyed/nervous that he is still having problems. This is the last straw. I mean seriously. What the hell is going on with this dude?

Wow, I am really disappointed. How could he train with the Olympic team and not play now?

That's worth betting on. What are the odds? I don't think there is any chance, maybe 10%. He will be rehabbing, getting a 2nd opinion or wanting to go trick or treating..

And spend it on who?
For anyone thinking rationally, when does he is able to be traded?

Trade him back to LA for CP3 
Resign CP3, move Rivers to SG, tank, draft Nerlens, win NBA Championship.

Oh I agree. Just not sure who else to compare Gordon to injury wise.
McGrady? Brandon Roy?
I don't know. Those guys had some good years. Gordon is a bum.

How does it work then? Sorry, I've never been one to keep up with how cap space works and all that

You need to pass a physical to be traded.

NBA contracts are guaranteed. Thus you can't just "cut" someone to free up cap space like in the NFL.

New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon will be out indefinitely, Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday morning, though neither Williams nor Gordon could shed any light on the severity of the right knee problem that kept the team's max money player sidelined through the entirety of training camp.
Gordon was instructed by a member of the Hornets' media relations staff not to speak with reporters and was escorted to the locker room after shoot around by the team's security chief.
"He's going to be out," Williams said. "The way I understand it, he's going to be out indefinitely until we get some more clarity on what's going on so I don't have to answer these questions every day and give you guys the update. We'll just go from there."
Rookie Austin Rivers will start Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs at the two-guard spot.
Gordon began full-scale contact workouts with the Hornets on Sunday, after mostly walk-through participation up to that point.
On Tuesday, he said "there are no guarantees" he'd play against the Spurs and he was still experiencing pain in the right knee, which was cleaned out arthroscopically on Feb. 14 last season. Gordon played in only nine games in last year's lockout-shortened season.
To Gordon's expressed chagrin, the Hornets matched a four-year, $58 million max-money offer Gordon, then a restricted free agent, received this summer from the Phoenix Suns and have expressed a desire to make him the foundation of the team's rebuilding effort.
Williams was uncertain what Gordon's current symptoms were, whether there was swelling in addition to the pain Gordon said he was having on Tuesday.
"He probably does feel pain; that would be the only reason why a guy can't play," Williams said. "For me to try to read an MRI . . . .I'll find out more as we go forward. I try to not get into all that because that would just make me upset."
Williams said on Monday he would check with team physician Dr. Scott Montgomery to ascertain if playing Gordon would cause additional damage.
"I've checked with Doc," Williams said, "but for him to explain to me what's going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to . . . what am I supposed to say?
"I'm sure it's got to be medical. A guy just can't not play. It's got to be medical. At this point of the year, everybody is excited to play. I'm sure it's medical."
Williams said his loss hurts.
"It's more than a blow," Williams said. "It is what it is. At the same time, you guys have been with me here through my coaching tenure and it's always been like this. I'm well-prepared for these kinds of experiences. It's one of those situations that, talking about it and complaining about it isn't going to help it. It's an unfortunate situation. I'll give you guys information as I get it."
Williams said he was unsure what the next course of action was regarding further rehabilitation of the injury.
"I'm not going to do this every game," Williams said. "Like I told you: he's not playing. He's out indefinitely. I'm not going to go down the script of like, 'OK, this is what we're going to do.' It doesn't matter. For me, he's not playing. And it's just one of those situations that that's all we have. And we have to move forward from there."

anyone starting to think that he just really doesnt like it here and doesnt want to play for us. i mean if the doctors and trainers say everything is fine but he is still saying he is in pain, it could be legit but it just sounds like he is being a bitch
