you're online diagnosing Eric Gordon over the internet


Others did the diagnosis, I just did a little googling on the condition and saw how closely it seemed to match.

You want to find something.


Yes, I want to find answers. I still think a trade demand is one of the options, it just doesn't fit what we know as well as tendonitis.

Again I ask, if the Hornets staff screwed this up so badly, then why did the Phoenix staff also give the ok to sign Gordon to a max offer?


That's the wrong way to look at it. There is no structural damage so A) nothing for Phoenix doctors to find and B) it's not a major screw up so much as an unacceptable screw up. If it is Jumper's Knee then they probably wasted about a week of rehab time by not being able to diagnose and treat a common condition in house.

might he have had jumper's knee for some time now, and possibly something else happened to the knee?

just playing devil's advocate. not sure if jumper's knee is a side effect of some other problem or perhaps could lead to further complications.

You googled jumper's knee.

They're medical doctor's and have seen him in person. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Bottom line is we signed an injure-prone player. Now he's injured. There's no shock here. No conspiracy or massive failure on the Hornets part.

Philly's in an identical situation with Bynum right now. As long as his knee stays attached to his leg, id bet my house that he gets a max offer from them in the offseason.
