Eric Gordon?

New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon says he excited about the prospect of having Anthony Davis as a teammate, but it won’t stop his plans to listen to offers in free agency this summer. New Orleans Times-Picayune

With him now saying he will listen to offers would anyone be interested in the bobcats offering him a contract? He avg 20ppg and 3 ast over the last 2 seasons. I think he could be a interesting guy to look at for the team, he is a true scorer that we desperately need. He can shoot drive and pass, plays solid defense. Question is what is he worth? how much would we have to pay to get him here and is it worth a thought?

I wanted to make a thread about this earlier also.

If MJ is not greedy and wanna spend some money, Gordon would be a nice addition. Great shooter and could be a veteran for our young team. We could also build a team around Gordon. The only thing is, he's a RFA which NO could match any offers giving to him. Which they probably will.

Our starting fives could change dramatically if we sign Gordon and do well in the draft. Imagine:

PG Kemba

SG Gordon

SF Kidd-Gilchrist

PF Maggette

C. Biyombo

maggette wouldn't last two games at pf, and biyambo would be done in 6 weeks. its not about their abilities, its about their physical capabilities to withstand those positions

biyambo may grow into a center, but we really don't know anything about him yet other than he can block shots like a 10 foot spider

    • I would say that he's pulling things out of his ass to get people to visit his site.
    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
