I know his actions over the offseason were childish and absurd, but sending him hateful and attacking messages accomplishes nothing positive. Telling him that he is a bitch or a pussy isn't going to make his knee heal faster.


What if he really is a bitch or a pussy and his knee is fine? He went to Olympic fricking try outs for God sakes.

I definitely understand and agree with you, but there's still a lot of time left for this issue to be resolved. I'm going to try to be as patient as possible because he can be a key piece to a young championship contender. It's going to be hard to find a player as talented as he is again.

Monty doesn't seem like a guy who puts up with bullshite, if this is a case of that I'd expect this to be resolved rather quickly for better or worse.

@KBergCBS: Hornets G Eric Gordon expected to address media tomorrow regarding his "indefinite" absence due to persistent knee soreness, source says.

Again, that makes no sense. You don't get yourself traded by faking an incurable injury, you get traded by being a malcontent.

@KBergCBS: While there is no new medical knowledge on Gordon, he "didn't feel 100 percent" after going through drills in recent days, source said.

Right, but you avoid the court with fake injuries. See Baron Davis back in Byron Scott's 1st year.

If you're getting killed on twitter and the Internet you might. I just watched the video of Monty saying he'll be out indefinitely, and the reason they chose indefinitely was basically to tell the press to not ask about Gordon's status again. Gordon did an interview with the TP this weekend where he talked about the pain, I can see this presser being the same thing, him sheepishly saying he's sorry but his knee hurts despite what doctors say.

You definitely hold a press conference after the crap that went down this summer.

So, if god forbid, EG fell dead, we'd be done forever? You keep saying he is the key, we'll never do it without him, elite scoring guard, top 10 player.. I get it, he's really good. But there is a alot of ways to skin a cat. They could make a trade and even possibly get better or his knee might never get better. The team will move on. The future is AD. Gordon is just a tool to help him grow. If he's not up to it, then the team will get somebody else.

All that being said, I want the guy to play. I want him to do well and if he wants to be traded, then I want him gone. If he wants to stay and be apart of it, then act like it. Meet with the media, go to every game, be open and honest, play hurt, get the f off of twitter, be a leader. I haven't seen that from him yet. Hopefully it happens soon..
