re: Hornets Expected To Shop EG Per Rotoworld

Dipo 60% fg and 44% 3pt fg.... he has improved trhough end of tourney.... I would almost rather watch austin rivers develop than watch EG brick another tarded looking neck shot in the 4th quarter. Nothing to do but wait to see draft and measurements and how everyone starts next season. Bottomline though EG isn't doing charity work or going to concerts here, he's not sincere to fans and is still fighting with coach after being here since 2011. Crappy situation

College 3p% is a poor indicator of NBA success because of the shorter line.

So calling it development somehow makes it better? If Gordon has been bad, Rivers has been atrocious.

Don't give a frick. Patting yourself on the back for taking a picture with a hammer is not exactly altruistic.

Haven't been many worth going to recently. That said, I haven't really been watching for him at concerts I attend.

How so? He may not be super-friendly, but I don't see how you can say he's not sincere. He may be sincerely depressed about his situation here...

A coach who has clashed with one of our top players every year since coming here. It's not all on Gordon.

Agreed, but life is fluid.

That was more than I expected but u r not wrong in ur opinions. If gordon was worth his salt he would clarify why he is fighting with coach. He is not close to a top 10 sg in the nba. As a fan I don't want the most paid member of the entertainment group I'm going to see scowl and curse and generally seem full of himself. He thinks he is a olympic caliber player but doesn't seem to want to contribute to chemistry. I don't see him around with other teammates.
I forgave him after he said he doesn't want to be here. He has done enough or rather not enough though to lose my favor. You will never get anywhere when the most paid, highest touted team member is scowling and shouting at his younger teammates. I see us doing much better as a team than as a collection of players doubting each other. EG always says he doesn't know the direction of this team... well u r the max player with a number one pick playing alongside you, nut up and become the face of the franchise if you are worth what you think you are. Be what cp3 is with blake griffin. But he won't, he's just a punk.
At least when dwight was at ends with his team he was constantly vocal about it, the face of the franchise, and entertaining when not hurt. EG isn't on that level but he needs to start taking some damn responsibility. Austin rivers is enthusiastic he says what he is trying to improve on. If we made him a starter and said he is the cornerstone, I'm sure he would be happy and do everything he can to help the team anf the community who has given him the opportunity. Idk how u can like someone who just doesn't care enough to shut up and do his job as a member of a team. No fun.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Demps was hellbent on moving CP3 before the season to avoid a circus. He's friends with Denver's GM so he knows exactly how a circus can drag on a franchise. Gordon and Monty bringing the Melodrama out in public made the odds of trading him this summer go up dramatically IMO.
