Obviously that says nothing of how prone to injury he is, but you guys need to stop doubting his desire to play ball.

He was having an MRI at night during the game? With the break coming up, why would they do that?

So we can get an early misdiagnosis out of the way. He's probably has a bone bruise in the hand, but we won't know that until April.

It doesn't change the fact he hurt himself during a shootaround

#Hornets Eric Gordon been playing through pain in hand recently. MRI Wednesday revealed sprain. Wearing brace, plans to be back soon.

Say what you want about Gordon, but the people that act like the guy doesn't want to play is just hilarious to me.

Of course he wants to play. lol He just can't because he fragile.

Want to, don't want to. I'm just starting to really question whether a healthy Gordon is as much a pipe dream as Chris Paul coming back or trading for Paul George.

Was his hand hurt before Wed.? If not, he had not been "playing through pain in hand"

So all this proves is that he has a hurt knee, back, and hand after 531 minutes of playing time this year. Made of GLASS.

This would suffice for me...

Hornets get: Jeff Green and Courtney Lee

Celtics get: Eric Gordon

Probably talking about McNamara.

Me personally I don't think the dude has a "desire" problem... I can tell that the injuries are frustrating him more than anything, but the fact is that he IS injury-prone... and right now he's just a high-priced bench-warmer. He ha s been injury-prone since he was in college so its not like the organization didn't know what they were getting themselves into. So will this be 3 more years of this mess?

I think so...

Oh. So Gordon is good to see Indiana play...but not good to watch us?

RAGE!

Nah, I'm messin'.

Welp, Here's what the Warriors writers say about "possible" trade between Golden state and the Hornets

Damn, I wouldn't mind landing both Thompson and Barnes for Gordon. We'd be loaded with young talent, but we'd definitely need some veteran presence.

By the way, that beat writer is usually spot on when it comes to GS.

I'd be ok with just one of them.

I believe Monty said it happened that day, so getting an MRI the day of the incident doesn't seem that odd, especially with a guy made of glass.

I'm all opposed to trading EJ, but if we somehow landed Barnes AND Thompson for him? I'd throw in a first rounder that's top 7-10 protected and take back someone like Landry from them.

And also, Demps would be the greatest GM ever for pulling this off.

If I'm Hornets I wouldn't need both Klay & Barnes, just one or the other and maybe a 1st round pick

Posted 2 days ago... Oh yeah :cool:

Broussard mentioned it and now MM is running with this story with the Gordon to the Warriors story and the Warriors writers are completely denying it. So ready for Thursday to get here.

So, how likely is Eric Gordon going to be traded this week?

Yeah, he's being made out to look like silly in this situation.

I am ready to see him go. I would most decent offers

I wouldnt say very likely at this point. You add in the facts that Gordon's value is at an all time low and Gordon has to sign off on the deal which is severely limiting; and to me the factors point to not trade of him this year.

well the article that started this thread said 90% likelihood that he would NOT be traded...

This offseason is when I think a trade may happen. He won't have veto power, and teams may see him as a piece to get over the hump, even with the risk.

I don't expect us to trade Gordon. I'd put it at a 10% chance.

Right now? 1% probability..this summer? Much higher i hope

Just don't see the deals lining up right. I don't even think we make any trades at all.

same here. I can possibly see a team wanting Aminu but I doubt if that happens.

@ChrisBroussard - 10 mins. ago

Sources: New Orleans has made Eric Gordon available for trade. Trade not likely though as clubs concerned about EG's health going forward.

If you're not planning on moving him before the deadline, why let it be publicly known? I'm really just ready to move on.

To let him know that he needs to perform if he wants to get traded to a good situation.

Thanks for the merge guys!

I don't know how I feel about us trading him.

He's gonna get moved, and as long as he stays healthy we are gonna get damn good value. He still has 2 full years on his contract and a PO for a 3rd. Perfect time to move him is now, or his summer. If we wait like Atl did with Josh Smith, Orlando did with Howard, Denver with Melo, etc, etc, he'd hold all the power. I'm ready to see him in a different uniform, I just hope we get great value for him.

My money is on Broussard recycling the same non-story that started this thread in order to get more clicks for ESPN...

Cant wait for the day he is traded

Report: Gordon likely to sit Wed. due to knee
Sam Amico's original tweet appeared to suggest Gordon was being held out of Wednesday's game due to a potential trade to the Warriors, but it makes more sense that his knee simply won't allow him to play in back-to-backs. We had already suggested that Gordon might not play tonight, so the trade talk is just that - talk. Bench Gordon for now and look for Austin Rivers to get the start, although he has been inconsistent when given opportunities this season.

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1496/eric-gordon

Original tweets from Amico fwiw:

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO

Hornets holding out Eric Gordon vs. Cavs because of medical requirements, not the ongoing trade talks with Warriors, just to be clear.

Sam Amico Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO

Hornets G Eric Gordon likely to sit out WEDS at Cavs. Hornets having trade talks with Warriors centered on Gordon, reports Times-Picayune.

I don't like the trade right now. Because I fear we're gonna throw in a protected first too.

Personally i don't care which way it goes i just want Thursday to get over with. On face value Gordon is better than klay but I'd rather have someone who wanted to be here but there's no guarantee Klay would wanna be either[tho he probably would be less of an ego since hes only a 2nd year]. I don't think its ever going to be easy for us when we get players traded here. So I'm going to go into Thursday completely neutral on this, i won't mind whatever happens.

I like Klay's upside and he can produce right away. I'm in.

Also in. People complain about his FG%, but he shoots very well from 3pt and FT's. It's still pretty unlikely, but who knows?

Gordon should have sat last night...
