Gordon told Yahoo! Sports he regretted those words, but there was a reason he was so cavalier.
“Of course I did [regret it],” Gordon said. “But that was the only way to push the table on the Hornets. To get a deal done I was willing to negotiate. My agent and I were going through negotiations with them. But they weren’t leaning into really giving me one. So I had to ride with Phoenix and from Day 1 they weren’t playing games.”
Gordon was intent on getting a maximum deal and signing it prior to trying out for the Olympic team in mid-July. He felt the Hornets were taking advantage of his restricted free-agent status by taking their time. Without the maximum offer he sought from the Hornets, Gordon instead signed with Suns on July 10. The Hornets eventually matched the deal.

He's so full of shite. Either he and his agent are complete retards or they knew damn well that the Hornets were going to match a max deal if he got offered one. If no one thought he was worth a max, then there's no reason for the Hornets to cost themselves money by offering him a max deal immediately.

I really really don't give a shite anymore. What's done is done. Gordon needs to quickly get healthy.
