Eric Gordon Press Conference???/Quotes from Gordon

[FlyGirl]

Jimmy Smith ‏@JimmySmithtp
@TheofficialEG10 says latest MRI might have indicated some undetermined damage to painful right knee. More to come.

[sting]

What a a-hole

[NOProblemsolver]

He can't play because his heart is still in Phoenix. What a damn joke this dude is!

[Pelicans23]

So say he is hurt somehow again. Are we stuck with his contract or is there a way we can void it? Not that it would be smart i'm just curious at the options we have here at this point.

[Joe Horn(ets)]

Yet another stupid move by Demps.

I'm not a hater of Demps but he's made two potential moves that could damage our team's future. His first one was the horrible trade he agreed to with LA so he could field a 8th seed team/middle of the pack team. Luckily Stern saved him on that one. Then, with all of the history of EG and Gordon making clear as day statements he wanted out, he STILL matches the offer. Now look where we stand.

Also on Monty because Monty strung the company line that Gordon was "the leader of our team that we need to keep". And there were a ton of media members also saying "match the offer, Gordon is worth pushing this under the rug for".

So a guy with no injury may miss the whole season? Or until December 15 when he gets what he wants which is a trade out of town. Either way I still support resigning him, he'll pass a physical and get a better haul than what would have been had in a s&t with Phoenix

[Bigeauz]

@McNamara247 So there is nothing structurally wrong, but Gordon doesn't know if he will play this year? #IamDone

Given how awful this guy is with the media, does anyone think he isn't trying to force a trade at this point? Mysterious, phantom injuries can miraculously recover at any time, I'd imagine.

@SteveGellerWWL: Eric Gordon update...he says no timetable for his return AND wouldn't rule out missing entire season

@GerrityJoe: Eric gordon said It has been very frustrating as a player not to do your job every day.

@GerrityJoe: Gordon said its very painful. He said he doesnt know "at all" when or if he'll be be back this season.

@GerrityJoe: Gordon contradicted himself. he said there is no damage, but there is damage. Very odd. Video soon.

@GerrityJoe: @GerrityJoe: He "sorta" experienced a setback between vegas and camp. There is nothing structurally wrong. Hes had mri's recently

Thing about the NBA is all contracts are Guaranteed. So we are screwed. We can trade him Dec 15, can't imagine he has much trade value at this point. But looks like he is stuck with us for the long hall.

[rebelman]

at this point I don't care what we can get for Gordon, lets just unload his contract and move on

[Silverfoxx]

FOH

[AD23forMVP]

Dudes a clown.

[Pelicans23]

This guy just puts a damper on everything doesnt he? We had the season opener yesterday and ohhh erics not playing. Today its this... I feel like this could have probably waited for a little while.

[BallSoHard]

@McNamara247 So there is nothing structurally wrong, but Gordon doesn't know if he will play this year? #IamDone

I tend to agree with this tweet.

[Inner_GI]

We have the worst Training staff/doctors in the NBA. I mean this is part Gordon being fragile, and part our doctors being completely inept on making a diagnosis. For goodness sake we need new medical staff personel.

This is how I am leaning now. Either that or he is a wimp.


Yes I do believe it is possible that he is just a terrible human but it just doesn't make much sense. Why not play then force your way out in December.

Man, what are you talking about? Your feelings are hurt by a trade that didn't officially take place? And how do you know that the LA trade was the end of the line and that he didnt have other moves in store from that point? Yea...you don't. Also, nobody fault's him for the signing because of the injury. If another team brings me in and throws max money at me I'm going to tell them I want to play there as well. The only thing people question are Gordon's motives and was he worth the risk if he really doesnt want to be here....which nobody knows the real answer. We were told all along that he would be ready for this season so why not match the contract for a scorer that everyone deemed would be healthy enough to play? This post reeks of someone just talking out of their head. Here's your chair -> _/ ....Take a seat with all that misguided negativity.

So which one is correct?

I think some blame has to be put on the training staff at this point.

If he is saying that he's gonna be out for a while, then he had better be getting surgery in the next week or two.

Monty's seems to be saying that the doctor's have cleared Gordon to play but that he is refusing to do do by claiming he is still injured. As an attorney, Gordon could potentially be breaching his contract. If a player is healthy enough to play and refuses to do so, he has breached his contract. The team might have a legal recourse to get out of this deal and get rid of the guy.

[Silverfoxx]

LOL

I don't think we know yet.

One quote is from Gordon himself, who knows if what he is saying is correct.
the other is an opinion.

I think what he need is for Monty to explain exactly what the doctors are saying about Gordon. Don't hold your breath because that won't happen.
