Too bad for them they won't get him.

I'm not sure the accuracy of it, but I thought I heard the Hornets offered him more than other teams can give him now anyway.

[Kurgan]

This is getting annoying

[Hornetnojersey]

I'm so ready for him to sign the deal so these other teams can go away

[laclife]

that one game convinced them

[sfernald]

Eh, suns are too cheap to throw max at Gordon. If anything, they may help to set fair price for Gordon so he signs with us earlier in free agency rather than at the end.

[Alg_Hornet]

It really doesn't matter who is after him...

[shanetrain93]

Yeah... not happening.

[Soundwave]

If someone does offer him less than the max that they can give, and he signs it, that's our best case scenario. We get to match at a lower cost and he has no choice.

[Mr. West]

These arn't even worth their own threads. Gordon is the second best FA on the market (Maybe third to Hibbert, its debateable). Every team in the damn league will give him a call at the very least, and ever team with cap space would be stupid not to pursue him.

In the end he will be in NOLA next year.

[Joe Gerrity]

The always reliable twitter is reporting it. Doesn't sound crazy.

Thoughts?

[nikkoewan]

Fine by me

[joetzeng]

We'll match anyways

[IVAN_NOH]

match it

[MeSoHornets504]

Guess that's what it will have to be then. Unfortunate, but necessary.

[laclife]

good the quicker we can stop discussing this none issue

[new city champ]

Wow, really? Seems doubtful, but crazier things happen in free agency. I'd really have to think about whether to match a max deal for Gordon. I know we've got cap space, but Gordon's injury history makes a max deal risky. Plus, though I really like him as a player, he's a scoring two guard, not a franchise big man or a talent like LeBron or Durant.

[Primetime]

What's the max for him again?

[new city champ]

Think it's five years at around $80 million.

[Basketball Nate]

I thought teams without bird rights can't offer 5 years?

[Primetime]

Think it's five years at around $80 million.

If that's true, then let him go to Phoenix.

[da_freshness]

Damn....... I hope this isnt true.... I hoped no team would offer him the max.

[Hornets2013]

Haven't the Hornets pretty much said they'll match any offer?

[Soundwave]

The Max he can get from the Suns = 4 Years, 55.2 million dollars from another team [12.922, 13.504, 14.085, 14.667]
