@hornets247 like Martin. Either way, teams r going to go after Gordon and the Hornets will not get a discount this summer. Will have to pay max or close
What is Morey thinking man?
I'm thinking that they are just trying to get a superstar stud. They've been wanting one since Yao went down and T Mac got hurt and old.
EJ has that potential right

K. Martin + combination of Lamb/Patterson/Jones/White

Rashard Lewis being amnestied intrigues me. He averaged 7ppg last yr on career lows across the board (24& 3, 39%fg), but he is still a career 39% 3pt shooter and 46% from the field. Was he just sandbagging because he was unhappy? He shot 40% from 3 playing in Orlando, 35% as recently as 2 seasons ago. I wonder if he wants to go home to Houston, if not, we got a bench roster spot open for you in OKC I think. We buy out Cook, he becomes a bigger, better version, not to mention with him and KD tutoring PJ3, no way dude doesn't reach his full potential. His comparative upsides would basically be right there on his team.

lamb and white definitely..
maybe try montiejunas since he's a center
but man, i would take that deal in a heartbeat if i'm running NO
Good point but all indications are (and it's been this way since he was traded there) that Gordon doesn't want to play for NO. He's not worth a max contract, at least not yet, so the Houston deal seems like a good solution to that situation.Originally Posted by mgrand15
Why are you guys freaking out over a deal where you trade a top 4 SG at worst who is only 23 for Kevin Martin and a couple late lottery picks? Really? That's the deal you HAVE to jump on. The Hornets would be crazy to do that. You win with top tier talent in this league. Eric Gordon is proven to be an efficient 20+ ppg scorer who plays good defense. Kevin Martin is falling off HARD and those lottery picks might be nothing. Gordon is only 2-3 years older than those guys too.
Yes, Gordon will be slightly overpaid. He's a restricted FA - he's young and he plays a position that the league is really weak in. If you're afraid to overpay a really good young player by 2-3 million a year, you won't sign anyone. Houston knows what they're doing with this deal. The Hornets wouldn't be smart to take it.
Of COURSE you'd think it's a bad deal for the Hornets.Originally Posted by Essential1
If hornets take that deal they deserved to be contracted.
EG at $13mil for 4 years (most he can get) > Kevin Martin's $12mil contract year.
No possible way Hornets go over luxury tax. And also if they did wouldn't be for a couple years and it'd take 4 luxury tax seasons to be a repeat offender.
Very bad trade for the Hornets

Mo is a PF, and he's coming over this season. Definitely any two of these three, if this is real. I just can't see it being real, unless Scola is involved somehow. Rockets are giving up way too much.
