I keep seeing people say the trade deadline but recall reading that since the team matched the Suns offer he can't be traded at all this year -- regardless of the team. And before anyone says 'But... but... we won't get good value.... BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW,' getting rid of his contract is value enough at this point.
So when can Gordon be traded?

I get it, everyone is annoyed he isn't going tonight, but JESUS people are so reactionary.
-
10-31-2012, 01:09 PMUnknown PosterOn the contrary, I think some of you aren't reactionary enough. How much more of this do you need to see before you realize it isn't worth it?Quote:

According to trade machine, can't be traded until December 15th. Also says we need his consent to trade him for a year after matching. Though I doubt that would be an issue for some reason.

I believe he CAN be traded this year to anyone EXCEPT the suns. He does have a "no trade clause" for this year that basically just means he has to sign off on any trade this year.

I've come down off the rage high, but even I'm leaning more towards the escape clause.

Can't be traded until Dec. 15th. Can never be traded to PHX. Has a no-trade clause that allows him to void any trade between now and June 30th

I'd laugh pretty hard if we dealt him the day of the fifteenth, ASAP.

Now the question is: who wants him at $15 million/year?

Granger is a stronger possibility though. -

10-31-2012, 01:48 PMRaisingTheBarWe cant trade gordon until Dec 15th anyway. And Granger has played in at least 60 games every year of his carer. Little better track record dont you think?Quote:

Gordon is proving to be trash. Paid for nothing.

Is he better? Technically, because Gordon can't do anything for us in street clothes. -
10-31-2012, 01:50 PMWhoDatPelicanat this point brandon roy has a better track record... I'm so fed up with the situation i'd take "cash considerations" for him.Quote:

I love h247.com and the guys working there are doing an amazing job, people need to lay off on criticizing them. The old people that ran this sit cough**Harvey Hornet**cough**Say-what**cough were arrogant, pessimistic hornets haters, hr247 people actually love this team and this city and work hard to provide us fans with extensive coverage.
Quick question though, what happened to the guy who originally ran hr247, Nialls I think?? He was funny and I miss his commentary and his more light hearted view of things. -

Thing is Granger has been reported to be injured (knee) and out indefinitely as well. That's why they are saying don't trade for Granger.

10-31-2012, 02:39 PMFlyGirlThey're saying Granger is hurt because Granger is hurt. Is he out indefinitely for another reason? Granger is hurt RIGHT NOW.Quote:

Additionally, comparing Granger's injury (singular) to Gordon's series of injuries (plural) is nonsensical. Danny is still by far the more durable player if you look at his entire track record.
Those were the only points I was trying to make. -
10-31-2012, 03:07 PMMichaelMcNamara
Even if Granger were to never play in the NBA again, I would trade Gordon for Granger. Think of it in terms of worst case scenario:
Granger- Never plays in the NBA again. Is a huge expiring contract next year to trade or fall off the books in 2014.
Gordon- In and out, in and out. Out more than in. Picks up his player option and doesnt come off the books until 2016.
I dont care about Granger's knee. If he comes back and plays well, that is icing on the cake. I want Gordon's contract off our books and for this officially to be AD's team- the way it should have been all along -

What is more frustrating than not having our best player on the court because he's out for an unidentified medical reason ?
Being that player... Especially when you are Eric Gordon. I wish he recovers from that quickly !!! -
10-31-2012, 04:37 PMWhoDatPelican
Think the clippers would take Gordon, Aminu, Warrick and a 2nd for Cp3 :hihi:

What do you think of this? At least it would be an exit strategy.
Not sure at all that the Clippers would take him back though the way he is acting up.
The other team I keep thinking about is Boston. They are arrogant enough to think they can fix him. And they love risky one-sided trades like this. Something like:
Gordon
for
Jeff Green
Courtney Lee
I bet they would go for it. They got the personnel to handle him and we do have a relationship with them (ie, Doc Rivers, clear some time for your son to play here). -
10-31-2012, 06:01 PMdjpaul89I think he's talking about during the offseason when we could have cut ties with Gordon. Draft position not dependent.Quote:
