Gordon Trade Possibility?

One rival executive said that although New Orleans is not actively shopping Gordon, the team has shown a willingness to engage in talks about him, and it's known that agent Rob Pelinka is more than open to the idea of a trade for his client. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because the talks were supposed to remain confidential.
quote:
This much seems clear about Gordon from the evidence gleaned at the moment: With the Feb. 21 trade deadline looming, all signs point to him staying with the Hornets at least through this season. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, Gordon has told team officials he is content and no trade demands have been levied by him or his camp. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks. Per the rules of the league's collective bargaining agreement, Gordon has been eligible to be traded since Dec. 15.
quote:
He is, in that regard, like the scorned lover who's reluctant to trust again. And the events of last summer did little to change that. If Gordon had his way, the Hornets – who had made it clear he was their centerpiece for the future – would have given him the five-year deal that he couldn't get anywhere else as a restricted free agent rather than making him set his own market value and settle for four years (with a player option for the 2015-16 season). Their decision to take the more prudent, passive route led to his public posturing, as Pelinka released a statement about Gordon's desire to sign with the Suns that was nothing short of a power play.
quote:
"I think we're in a pretty good place as far as the future; definitely the future is bright," Gordon said. "It's all about having the right chemistry and core of guys that's going to be around and making sure (New Orleans) is the right place to be."

Oh no, we are back to only being pretty good!

Fantastic, will this hurt his feelings again?

No possibility. With him having Veto Power probably the only team with interest that he'd accept would be someone like Dallas and they don't have the assets to even start a conversation.

very very unlikely because of what you said and his comments in the article.
but the team has taken phone calls and his agent wouldn't mind a move, so I don't know about no possibility. definitely not a pretty good chance

Does he have veto power throughout the life of the contract or just through this year?

No just through this year.

Why would he veto a trade if he wants to GTFO.?

I suspect that's corndeaux's point, really. EG is here for the duration based upon what we know at this point.

Of course the team is willing to take calls. I like Gordon and he think can be a very good player but he's not untradeable like a durant or lebron. If someone blows us away with an offer I'd hope the team would take it

1) I don't think he wants to GTFO. He seems to be making a pretty good effort to buy in and be part of the team since coming back from rehab.
2) Even if he didn't want to be here, that doesn't mean he wants to be somewhere worse like Toronto.
