  • shawnkemp4prez

    For some reason, Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers just don’t seem like they’ll mesh well…

    2 shoot-first shooting guards? NO is gonna find out that Gordon is MUCH better and Rivers will start to see very little PT.

    Wow..they just got Rivers..they shoulda smarten up and let the Suns take Gordon. Gonna be a sad week for Gordon,Battum, and Lin…

    This was dumb, I know they want to make Rivers into a PG, they’re trying to do that but it’s not going to work.

    GREAT NEWS FOR HORNETS FANS BUT THE REALITY WILL SINK IN ONCE DECEMBER STARS THAT RIVERS AND GORDON CAN’t co-exist. Well, I do hope it still works and lets just wait and see.

    Raptors get: Xavier Henry, Jason Richardson, Andrew Nicholson
    Hornets get: Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Jose Calderon

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    Raptors would never do that

  • http://Roosterteeth.com Caboose

    Yeah, probably not.

  • RunNGun

    The back court of Curry and Mont– yeah, nevermind…

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    I do think New Prleans going to shop Gordon as soon as he is eligible and/or expresses displeasure

  • http://Roosterteeth.com Caboose

    Meaning he’s being shopped right now.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    Basically

  • MDubb3

    He doesnt want to be there, everyone knows it, they trying to trade him for assets. Hornets are scheming

  • Jer dawG

    I wonder why Indiana didn’t even offer him a contract? I guess they know something else we don’t. Hometown team rumored to want him didn’t step up one iota. They must think he will play 20 games next season or something.

  • MeloMan15

    LOL… caboose, that trade offer was horrible for the raptors

  • elmaar

    jer dawg…pacers are smart enough to know paul george is a safer if not better investment than eric gordon
    and these contracts(gordon,mayo) are straight killers for OKC
    now how much do you think james harden is gonna command next summer?

  • http://slamonline.com Datkid

    Eric Gordon is gonna look stupid for not wanting to play on anthony davis’s team smh.. and they should trade austin rivers, they need a real PG

  • Snapback4Me

    \they gone need this boy 10 games played 2 game winners on that squad
