What's the saying, embrace the city and the city will embrace you? I don't think this city has any problem embracing players, regardless of sport, if they show their heart is into it.
and if he i truly hurt, he can't get on the court to show that. Its not really his fault.
he said he has tried to practice through the pain the last 3 days, and it is just too painful.

So if he sits out this year, 9 games in 2 years due to knee soreness after he said he was disrespected by not being offered a max deal. Don't be upset, he's goin' through stuffs
Everyone should be upset if that happens. I just don't think everyone should hate the guy so much if he isn't milking it and it really is structural damage that he can't control. Knee injuries in basketball are the worst and you never know how long they can linger and how extensively they can be damaged.

Alright I will give him this last chance. If this dude goes to the dr saturday and says 2 more weeks of rehab he better be on the floor against the bucks. Not the 2nd qtr but at tip off.

You would think on such a pressing matter he would want to hear from the doctors sooner than this weekend.
Of course, that means he won't hit the court until next Wednesday at the earliest. Maybe he won't even be able to travel this weekend because of the pain.
Like everyone else, I'll happily eat my words if there's actually something wrong (still) with his knee. But until then, Gordon's done nothing to earn my sympathy.

Go back and read all of my posts about Gordon since yesterday. Never once believed the rumor.
There is a difference between support and head up the arse.

No one understands his injury and he has never really played. The team and fans are hoping for him to be the star of the team.
For someone who is suppose to be the face of the franchise he has done a very poor job of filling it to the outsider's perspective.
Also unless he is an idiot he should realize that the fans and everyone is more frustrated than just anti-Gordon. If he can't step back and see how it all looks from everyone else's point of view then that is sad.
I have been very excited to see Gordon play and think this team would be very good with him as an integral part.
We constantly hear how others on the team will play through pain (they referenced Smith vowing to play through pain during the game last night), but Gordon is not. It is frustrating when the fans can't understand what kind of injury he is really suffering with at the moment.

I dOnt even think I posted in the rumor thread and I get called for supporting a rumor

The fact remains that we signed an injury prone player to a max deal, who for some reason can't get and stay healthy.
We couldn't let him walk. I thought all this went out the door last season.
You can't trade CP3 and get Gordon back as the centerpiece, then let him walk. And you can't magically accept some awesome trade that really isn't there.
The Hornets were in a tough position. I think his age is something that told them he could/should overcome his injury past.

Can you really blame them? All we have heard is that he has a knee injury, nothing really specific.

I agree 100% with this, else the CP3 trade would have essentially been Paul straight up for Aminu.
We either had to give him the max or pull a sign and trade. Both were risky.

Please explain how I have my head up his arse? I may have to do a lot of defending because I'm pretty much the only person besides Lester that isn't hating on the guy because his knee is fricked up. I look at FACTS and base my opinions off that. It's a FACT that Phoenix offered more money and actively showed interest in him. I have no issue with him wanting to be there, but I do have an issue with how he went about the process. It's a FACT that he hasn't done anything negative since that ordeal except to get hurt, which I can't blame him for since he has no control over it. If a FACT comes out that he is milking the injury or that he's trying to force his way out, then I will be just as angry with him as everyone else on here.

I think all this face of the franchise shite is fluff. I just want him to play, I dont care if he is the face or not. Anthony Davis can do that. Ryan ANderson can ham it up with the fans. etc etc.

Smith was dealing with an upper body injury, Gordon with a knee. Im not saying smith isnt tough, but running up and down the court on the knee is not the same as Smith's shoulder(?)

Brandon Roy played his arse off until he couldn't anymore. Dejaun Blair has no ACLs. Gordon needs to man up.

again, its the 1st game of the season, if you have the opportunity to nurse Gordon back to 100%, you do that. You don't ask him to grind out games right now on a bum knee. dont ever call me a troll if you can't comprehend that you fricking idiot

It seems like you just like to argue.
Posted on 11/1/12 at 1:17 pm to fightingtiger2335
Of course any injury to any body part in basketball can affect your ability to play, but there is nothing worse than knee injuries in basketball. Some can be fixed and then never be a problem, and others can linger with you and limit your ability for your entire career. We just have to hope that Gordon will eventually overcome this knee pain and get back to 100% health. I really would like for him to see someone like James Andrews since I don't really have a reason to trust our medical staff.

not saying its not; but he's a backup. He played 17 minutes last night.
it's not like he played a great deal.
Gordon's role is totally different. He's not a scrap piece that you mess with like Smith, esp cause its a knee injury.
Posted on 11/1/12 at 1:20 pm to lpd1975
When Gordon comes back this season and makes this team a playoff contender, everyone will be all over his nuts and saying how well he meshes with AD. Obviously there is something fishy going on but its either he plays here for the money they are paying him or I put my faith in Dell to get great pieces for him in a trade in DEC.
