    I would much rather have Howard. However, I am intrigued at the thought of having a high scoring offense with Gordon and harden at the wings with Lin facilitaing. Does anyone know how Gordon is doing.

    Last I heard, he was contemplating having microfracture surgery, which is alarming.

    We'll score 140 points a game and still lose 30 a season.

    But seriously.

    Move Lin and make Gordon the "PG".

    Gordon does everything better than Lin anyway

    Both Gordon and Harden are strong for their size, though. Height isn't everything.

    I could see EG and Harden playing combo guards. Morey prefers penetrating guards to the traditional PG, so why not?

    Do not want. He's been sucking on offense this year and he is extremely injury prone.

    Harden? The franchise player?

    How is this riddle any where related to Eric Gordon aside from the "EGO" which is too obvious for doc rocket's taste.

    Let's just start Parsons at the 4.

    Asik can handle all comers in the paint by himself!

    I'm kinda warming on to a 3-guard rotation, but if we do it we need out bigs to be AMAZING defenders. Well, we have Asik, so we're set there. Therefore, Lin-Gordon-Harden works only if we get a defensive power forward in my opinion.

    EG assists 2.8/game; TO 2.9/game. Hmm, I don't think PG is his natural position. He is a great scorer though (fallen off a bit this year probably cause of injury tho)

    Even though I know you're being sarcastic... He played fairly well against LeBron in their latest matchup and with Gordon here would not have the burden of putting the entire offense on his shoulders, so it really wouldn't be tooo bad.

    Yet still, I don't like the idea of having 3 guards playing PG, SG, and SF. Plus Gordon has issues of his own health wise. I'd rather keep our cap space go after a big time guy in FA and if we bottom out make a run for a second tier guy like Milsap.

    Who plays the 1? Because in any Eric Gordon trade excluding Lin or Asik, you'd have to give up 4 to 5 players to match salaries. Unless the Hornets are REALLY high on players like Delfino. Remember, Gordon is their franchise player.

    And why would Morey be interested in an injury prone player who plays the same position as his franchise player. Gordon's contract is 4 years near max. Yikes.

    Classic Broussard

    I don't wanna lose parsons and the bromance between him and Lin. Think how upset Jeremy will be!

    It would be cool to get EG to assume a 6th man role or have him play sg with Lin or harden at point. Moving harden to the 3 will make us waaay too small
