Let the dust settle and let Gordon come back and talk to our front office. People are trying to draw conclusions right now when none of us know 100% what Gordon wants or is thinking. I can't believe any basketball player would hate a city enough to vehemently oppose playing for it, especially one with as much promise as ours.


While I mostly agree with this, it's not good for him to pull this shite. You're right, this team has THAT much promise. Why say something so ridiculous? If he feels this strongly about Phoenix, we need to get what we can. I'm not sure if he felt a lack of support here, or just not as optimistic as most of us feel, but dammit, this is a dumb move. And to counter the lack of support, when, not if, this team becomes a perennial playoff squad the fans here will be at the top of the league. There's a lot of excitement around the Hornets, he just shite in the middle of the party.

I m pissed right now, I really think we should sign him and trade him somewhere else. I know we don't know the full story, but if he really said all the things he said. We should go after Courtney lee, trade Gordon for a Center plus picks then flip picks for rudy gay somehow
PG:Jack/Vasquez/Rivers
SG:Lee/Rivers/belly
SF:Gay/Aminu/Miller
PF:Davis/Landry?/Ayon
C:trade/Smiht
not bad if you ask me, if Gordon really hates us. He didn't say anything about hating or showing interest though

Aren't you the one I was telling he might leave and you were screaming he loves NOLA? Yeah, called this crap on draft night.

There's no reason for a smokescreen. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and wait for the Hornets to match.

If his heart is in Phoenix, then we need to renounce him and just get under the cap


Huh? If he signs our max deal, we're still more than $10m under the cap. More like $13/14m IIRC.

I've said from the beginning he didn't want to be in New Orleans.

I knew people like this would come out of the woodwork after this. "I knew it all along." He's never indicated that he hates it here, dipshit. This quote is literally the first thing that MIGHT hint at it.

ETA: and after I post this 2 more dipshits do the same thing.

If he just signs with us without signing their sheet, I THINK we can do a sign-and trade. We can also do a sign-then-trade to give time for Phoenix to build a deal for us.

Seems like the most likely scenario at this point

He isn't the face of the organization. This is what it's all about. He is a disgruntled Melo part 2. Always has been. Davis & Rivers sealed his fate.

I really hope y'all don't match...but I doubt that happens. I would love to have Gordon on the Suns.

It looks bad now, but there really was no indication that he hated NOLA before tonight. He's never been an emotional guy, so you couldn't be too worried about seeing him with that meh look on his face.

I don't know. There's nothing conceivably better about playing for Phoenix than us. It baffles me that he would want to leave a franchise on the rise for one that's going into the shitter. Well, if he really wants to go to Phoenix than I would be more than pleased to get Gortat/Dudley/2013 first rounder. Leaves us with big cap space to pursue a big name free agent next year.
