I remember people arguing that he was a top 5 SG and a better cornerstone than that injury prone Steph Curry

All the paths this team took since that 08 team led to the team we have now. It sucks it took so long but I'm stoked we have a very deadly roster with some actual bench depth.

I’m not saying I would like an Eric Gordon trade but it seems to be a little bit unfair to hold 23 year old Eric Gordon against 33 year old Eric Gordon. I’m sure a lot has changed, for him and us, in the last decade. I don’t think it’s a given that he would nuke the locker room.

frick Eric Gordon. I hope he puts up empty stats on lottery bound teams for the rest of his career.

No need to hold to hold a grudge. That’s teenage girl shite. Things change, people change. Especially over such a large period of time.

I told yall this many times. He's not getting traded unless its an absolute necessity. And yes he's overpaid for what he does. I'd trade Kira before GT, even though i know Kira provides more on the court than GT does. This culture we've got going on is way more important than the 11th or 12th or 13th guy on the roster.
This team does not need Temple for the culture. He did his job last season. We now have CJ, JV and BI leading the culture of the locker room.

Sorry, but there is no way to be sure he has done a 180 from his childish immature ways. I would not take the chance that he would cause locker room issues. Not worth it.

For us as fans, no. But the team could without a doubt do their own due diligence to find out.

I would agree.
But we also don't need to get rid of him when there are other alternatives.

Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis will ALWAYS be on my shite list. They both could come back to NOLA and save children from a fire at a hospital, and I would still hate their dumb asses.

I under no circumstances want that dude on this team. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't because he is one of my least favorite players to ever play for this franchise. But also I dont see him shooting it as good as he did last year. The two previous years he shot like %32 or something like that.

I'd rather have Graham and Temple as great teammates and keep two picks than have that goof.

I despise Devonte Graham as a basketball player. He actively hurts us every time he is on the court. No I would not trade him for Eric Gordon. F Eric Gordon lol. Print that shirt.

With all of the bad blood going on with the Suns, what if Paul wanted out?

I doubt he would name us as a top destination. But we could put together a nice package and match salaries. Something like Graham, Nance, Hayes, 2 future 1sts (is that too little or too much)?

Cp3 has been on his last legs for 5 years. He doesn’t really need them to play the way he does lol.

Honestly if CP3 did want out, I’d honestly think we’d be on the short list of teams he’d want to play for.

He could put us over the top and it'd be cool for him to mentor Alvarado (maybe Lewis too). Plus he has those ties to Green. So wouldn't hurt the locker room or culture..

I love Nance but I'd give up Nance and 2 1sts for Chris Paul.

He's too old, his defense has declined, and he's a negative player now. We aren't going to trade for him for the same reason that we aren't going to trade for Bojan: there's no reason for us to acquire old, inefficient players.
