Why? Don't see a fit for him unless they trade Granger or George. I thought he hated his 6th man role with the Grizz?Originally Posted by DroopyDawg

Wherehappens.
Seems like the Suns aren't interested in a sign-and-tradeJohn Gambadoro @Gambo620
If NO matches offer sheet for Gordon which they apparently will then Suns will turn attention to keeping Shannon Brown.
Well technically, if we match, we cannot S&T anyway.
Just reporting what I read... and this makes sense...
Mayo is the top choice for the Pacers. He’s been their top choice for a few years now. The Pacers have “great, great interest” in Mayo, one person told me….
The Pacers have to decide how much they want to pay the former lottery pick and does Mayo mind continuing to come off the bench.

My thoughts exactly

Well then what was the point of the offer sheet? They knew we were matching. I don't buy it.
I think its more likely they thought they would be able to poison the well and get a S&T for cheap, but our offers have been higher than they expected.
The Suns don't lose anything by signing Gordon to an offer sheet. It's a no-lose situation for them. If the Hornets don't match they get a player they want, if the Hornets match they move on and sign someone else.

Phoenix and Chicago are the 2 teams most heavily in the mix for free-agent shooting guard Michael Redd. Suns, who had Redd last season, are waiting to see if Eric Gordon offer sheet gets matched by New Orleans. Bulls are waiting to see what they might due with the July 10 deadlines to guarantee contracts of Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Watson
Michael Redd is their backup plan? And this is the team more committed than the Hornets to winning? Wow.

Some Phoenix radio host said his "source" has told him the Suns aren't interested in a trade for Gordon.
I'm starting to think the Skulls run the NBA.

Phoenix radio host saying if the Hornets match Gordon, they'll turn their attention to Shannon Brown. Shannon Brown was on their roster last season too right?

I guess Phoenix doesn't consider him that much of a "cornerstone" after all.
Shouldn't he be butthurt at Phoenix now?
Well we can all cross Phoenix off the list for a sign and trade. So do we match the max deal and make him play in N.O. against his will? man I hope this dude doesn't shut it down if we do bring him back.
Gordon is probably the one who is butthurt unfortunately. Hurt that he had to visit half a dozen teams to get the max that New Orleans wasn't willing to offer him outright (and the 7.5% annual raise that New Orleans could offer him, unlike the 4.5% he'll be getting from the Suns' offer... being paid by the Hornets after it's matched).
It does seem like he's lashing out at the Hornets for his value perhaps being less than perceived.
This should show him " how much he means to Phoenix! " If they thought he was so great, whatever would've been flying from their team to New Orleans!
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
What's the latest on OJ Mayo?

Phoenix did the same orange carpet treatment to Goran Dragic too. It's their oversell tactic. It's aight, but if we wanted to throw a welcome party, no one could do that like we can.
Contributor
They know the Hornets will match. They also know that since nothing has to be signed immediately it opens the window for negotiations. This was all calculated to provoke a S&T. Gordon's comments are similarly calculated to that effect. One comment you could let slide but this guy has been saying the same thing non stop for the past three days. Also, just because the media isn't reporting the teams are negotiating a S&T doesn't mean it's not happening. They might be looking to involve another team, etc.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Phoenix now has a large trade exemption courtesy of the Nash trade that they could use to find another piece to send us along with one or two of their players and some picks.
What'd be funny is us holding up our matching of it for 3 days to tie up their cash and sign free agents in that period.
I dont think they got the exception. I think them trading the salary took up the lakers end of the exception.
