Eric Gordon Open to Extension with Hornets


The deadline is January 25, and Eric Gordon says he’s willing to sign a long-term extension. But the Hornets may not want to invest in a player who has appeared in just two games this season. From the New Orleans Times-Picayune: “Gordon, who was ruled out for two to three weeks on Jan. 6 because of swelling in the knee after his second game — a 40-minute outing in a loss to the 76ers — says he’d have no problem putting his name on a long-term contract with the Hornets right now. ‘I’m very open to a long-term extension,’ said Gordon, the seventh pick in the 2008 draft. ‘It’s all about having enough security to where I’m able to be here.’ Gordon said his agent, Rob Pelinka, has had ongoing dialog with the Hornets about an extension, and that the Hornets have expressed an interest. ‘You know they’ve told me they want me here, they want an extension,’ Gordon said. ‘But it’s all about what they think is the worth in me. They see that I’m capable of helping this team win, capable of playing hard every night offensively and defensively. Now it’s all about dealing with what I’m worth.’”

    I really want him in Chicago too, that back court would be so vicious!

  • Red Posted: Jan.21 at 2:44 pm
    Only thing is his height, we’d have 2 small guards.

    If they got Eric Gordon, instant favorite in the East.

    Why did NO do this trade if not signing Eric to a long contract. Stern screwed over the NO, Houston and the Lakers. BOOK IT!!

  • Youngindy21 Posted: Jan.21 at 7:43 pm
    No way he goes to the Chicago Bulls. Chicago can’t afford him. He is more likely to go to the Indiana Pacers seeing as there are rumors of a Granger for Gordon trade on ESPN.

  • Red Posted: Jan.21 at 7:47 pm
    Indiana sucks, nobody really wants to go there. And Bulls can get him with a sign & trade.

    Gordon should sign with Celtics

  • Fresh Boiardee Posted: Jan.21 at 9:53 pm
    Gordon is a free agent at the end of the season, I say wait and see what options are available and try to sign with a possible contender. NO is the trap of the NBA.

  • SportsAddict Posted: Jan.21 at 10:11 pm
    I think he should try and get back with his former team in the Clippers. Or he could go to a team like Orlando or Utah. He could be with great centers and at times he could create for his teammates, and he is an absolute scorer.

    If I was NO I wouldn’t be in a rush to sign him either. He’s very good, but he’s also injury prone.

  • Max Posted: Jan.22 at 10:22 am
    Red that’s why they are one of the up and coming teams…

  • Bowen's Bowtie Collection Posted: Jan.22 at 10:39 am
    He would be smart to wait until the offseason to evaluate his options.

  • ctk Posted: Jan.22 at 2:39 pm

  • Elliot Posted: Jan.22 at 8:30 pm
