Why Eric Gordon Needs to Go...

I was a big fan of EG10 up until a few weeks ago when I started to notice something about his game, he is a plague. He doesn't make anyone around him better and he is actually hurting the growth of Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday when he is playing.
I thought this was going to be his year to bounce back and show the world he can play with other guys but he can't. He is the Kobe Bryant of this team with less talent.
He has got to go. Send him to Brooklyn.

Why Eric Gordon Needs to Go...
Posted on 1/3/14 at 3:28 pm to tadelatt
not that i'm arguing against him going, but do you have any numbers to back up the claim that
he had a really shitty game the other night coming back from injury, but so do most players. i'm hoping to see something better from him tonight.
he's not having an awful season. i wish he would pass to the open man more, but i feel like he's that kid on the playground who doesn't get the ball much so when he does he feels the need to hog it. though that may be a chicken or the egg thing.

This isn't really fair. Kobe is a 2 way player and a lockdown defender when he's asked to be. I haven't seen that defensive desire from EG10 since he's been here.
If EG10 could play with the defensive effort I know he's capable of, he'd make up for half his salary on that end alone. He just simply doesn't seem to take that aspect of the game seriously.

maybe he really does love new orleans?

Unless Brooklyn is willing to send us an injured Lopez, they don't have shite we want.
If we're looking to purely cash out and have money for the upcoming offseason, we could send him to Orlando for Hedo, who would then get bought out.
If we're looking for actual value, we may be waiting a while.
Most teams which would want him don't have assets and most teams which have assets don't want him for various reasons, such as better players at the 2 or they're riggin' for Wiggins.

I don't think Orlando would want him. They have Oladipo and Afflalo at SG, and there have been rumors about shipping off Afflalo since the draft. They want Oladipo to be their SG of the future

Yep. He was a solid defender in that good Clippers season. He just doesn't care to try anymore.

I thought they were trying to make Oladipo into a point.

I think that's why they want to trade Afflalo, right? I thought the PG experiment was coming to an end, seeing how turnover prone he is playing the position. I could be wrong

He lacks confidence without lacking the entitled attitude. He's mentally fragile, at least in the `toughness' sense.
I'm fine with him, but I think it's better to move him when they can get a reasonable return.
As far as making other people better . . . I don't really like that phrase. It's far too mushy as to what it really means.

Is there anyone that you do dislike? Just curious?
