    I agree but it does not change the fact that fans are insane and we flip from extremes at will. If gordon manages 70 games ppl wont care about this anymore (unless he says something really stupid-total possibility bc of his crappy PR). Balls in your court Eric Gordon...

Talking about moving on to me isn't going to get him moved on any faster. Write a letter to Demps or Benson.
    I edited my comment. I didn't mean your post with the maybe's sorry. I mean Gordon. Every time someone talks about him its maybe hes still injured, maybe he just doesnt want to be here, just tired of all the maybes. tell the truth and let's move on.

    "I've checked with Doc," Williams said, "but for him to explain to me what's going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to . . . what am I supposed to say?

    Things like that just anger me so much.

    It's not that he's injured, it's just how unclear it is. Eventually enough is enough. I've just about had it.

    At least Rivers and Davis will get more shot opportunities.

    There's no flip-flopping by the fans. How many games did Gordon play last seasons? Eight? And he was rewarded with a max (for him/restricted) contract? The onus is on Gordon to prove his worth. So far he's doing a miserable job of it.

    Agreed.
    The fact that he was escorted out and not allowed to speak to media is strange imo.
    Guess we'll see tomorrow at the Puddin' time press conference.

    Honestly, the bolder prediction would be to say Gordon would play more than 50 games this year.

    There has been flip flopping. Granted its not everyone, but ppl want to win. I gordon plays tonight we cheer him. If he sits out tonight bc of a questionable injury we boo.

    That's not flip-flopping that's expecting someone to perform to their contract. One that was arguably unjustified given how few games he has actually been able to play.

    The move made by the front office today with respect to Eric Gordon was done for non-health related reasons. Mr. Gordon is trying to force a trade behind the scenes. Any speculation as to the health of his knee is pure poppycock and cover for the real fact that Gordon wants out but the organization doesn't want to burn Gordon's reputation if he has a last second change of heart with respect to the Organization and the City of New Orleans.

    Shocking.

    I read Monty's comments in the nola.com article, and it's CLEAR that Monty's getting information from the team physician that Gordon's injury at its current state is less severe than Gordon's making it out to be. There's no other way to read it any differently.

    If that proves to be true, I can't believe there isn't a way for the team to recoup money on a contract if a player is medically cleared to play and a player refuses to play.

    Color me unsurprised. They should trade him on Dec 15th -- I don't care what they get for him. I'll take a first rounder and nothing else at this point.

    I forgot to add this but it is my understanding that Eric Gordon will not be allowed on the Hornets bench for tonights game and that he will not be introduced as being part of the team.

    Wow.

    At this point i'd take one Austin Rivers over an army of Eric Gordons.
