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

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
