If I'm Magic GM. I don't give a damn. I trade him to the Bobcats. Hell if I care what I get back for him.

As expected, the Clippers offered extensions to All-Stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul on Saturday night when the free-agency period during which teams can negotiate with free agents and offer extensions to players. Contracts, which can be agreed upon, can't be signed until July 11.
And as expected, Griffin agreed to his five-year extension worth up to $95 million and Paul didn’t accept his three-year extension for $60 million, according to sources who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Griffin, who is locked up for the next six years, will earn $7.2 million next season.
Paul, who will earn $17.7 million next season, is in the last year of his contract. He is waiting to sign an extension after next season, which is a better financial decision, said a source close to the point guard.
Paul can sign a five-year, $108-million extension with the Clippers in July 2013.
The Clippers also made contact with the representatives of guard Chauncey Billups on Saturday night. Billups missed most of last season recovering from a torn left Achilles’ tendon, but the Clippers want him to return.

You can add the Sixers to Gordon's visit list. Not sure which number we are on the visits though.

I thought Lakers. Either way what an idiot. He'd only have to be there a couple months.. IQ on JaVale numbers

That's what I'm saying though! He could've been a free-agent right now, but instead his %*%#%@+ is still in Orlando trying to get out.

In hindsight it made NO SENSE to do that cuz of the back injury that ended his season. At best he plays 10 games. He could've opted out anyway and walked to BK.

dude wants to get his carmelo on.. if he gets traded then he can keep his salary high I THINK

That only works when you say it's the Nets and you won't resign with any other team
Melo has nowhere near the negative backlash for doing that that Dwight has for not doing it and prolonging this.
