Hornets guy here in Lafayette just blogged about it. Seems to be reiterating a lot of what's on this board.

but but but.. it was a short season. He would have surely played 13 games if it was a full season.

I don't recall him playing through neither. He sat his arse on that bench just like he'll do tonight.

And I followed up that comment with why I still don't feel it necessary.

The problem with that arugment, means he was injured EVEN MORE than the games he was out.

What he played is irrelevant, he still played through pain.

It's just that you gotta understand that at H247, we put 100-150 hours a week into what we do between all of us and we do it for the readers. And to be labeled as pessimists is a little frustrating. We try to give fans the best info possible and when it is not what people want to hear, they dismiss it.

Hope to be wrong on Gordon, Aminu, Vasquez, etc. but sometimes the facts includes bad news

Thank you for all the work, we really do appreciate it. That said, I remember you fiercely defending David Stern and what he did to the hornets when he prevented a trade from happening. You believed the Hornets got the better deal, because of Stern. Do you now see that, just like you put 150 hours a week into your understanding of the Hornets and its players, the people who work for the Hornets, who lined up that rockets/lakers trade, actually put considerably more time into getting us the best deal. IF that deal goes through, we don't have Eric Gordon, who will never play. We don't have Kaman, who we gave up for nothing. We don't have Aminu, who may or may not even play for this team. Can you admit that what Stern did for this team was not in the best interest for this team?

Irrelevant to you maybe, but not the rest of the world. You don't have any clue what level of pain he was in. It could have been very minor, and when it got major he sat, which is why it is relevant. If you want to make an argument so broad, then EVERYONE has played through pain.

Please tell me what we'd have from the lakers trade. You conveniently left out AD and Rivers too

We wouldnt have Anothony Davis had this trade been blocked. And its not like we had to sign Gordon. Stern made the franchaise sellable; had we taken that houston package the hornets would be in Albequerce right now.

I am the biggest Eric Gordon fan, and even I am getting tired of this. I really don't know what to say. So many conflicting reports. Now all we can do is take a wait and see approach, and cheer for the Hornet's players that are playing.

Hindsight is 20/20. The hornets got a better deal at the time and now with Stern than without. Sure Degic would have been nice, but with Dragic and Martin we wouldn't have been in position to land the #1 overall pick and may have lost Dragic for "nothing" just like we lost Kaman.

I think the B.D. title can be applied now..
Has an MRI been done? Is there swelling? If there is swelling ok thats one thing but if not..congrats EG = BD.
Get an MRI on the knee. Figure it out. Get it done.. if he can't play well i guess he has to retire right?

Insult to injury lol

Dubs had to jump on $11M per for Steph Curry, ankle woes and all. Don't forget Eric Gordon missed almost all of '11-12 & got max offer sheet

Austin will play plenty point guard once Parker strips Vasquez on 3 straight possessions.

Just let the season play out, get another lottery pick and a lot of cap room. This is just a learning season for both the players and the fans. Getting upset about losses or Eric Gordon will just drive you crazy. Enjoy the young guys and brush everything else off your shoulders.
