    Everytime he drives in with no contact it seem that his knee is bothering him.
    It is very concerning, maybe we should trade him before it gets worse.

    The week off during the All Star game cannot come soon enough.

    EG's knee
    Rivers finger
    CP's hamstring
    Tucker can recharge with more pancakes

    Looks to me he took a shortcut approach to losing weight and it has affected his muscular stability. You can tell although he dropped weight he's not more shredded. Hope I'm wrong, would be a stupid move for a formerly injury prone player.

    We should sit him for the next five games. CP3, Harden, Rivers guard rotation should be able to hold the fort.

    I think it’s the combination of weight and age. He can’t carry himself like James Harden does

    He looks about the same weight. Our medical staff is pretty janky.

    Treadeitis? : )...Gordon has been asked to handle much more than the preferred role...the one that minimizes risk/increases efficiency.

    He definitely showed up about 10lbs lighter. Maybe he's put some of that back on. I wonder how much our medical staff is involved in these guys' offseason programs. I bet they can't enforce much.

    This rest coming up... he will be good go... not worried at all with EG.

    He is a big part of what we do. We need him.

    He is the only potentially tradeable role player along with Tuck. His injuries are making it difficult to trade him. The peripheral players are untradeable. A 1st rounder plus House and Eric 13.5 M, plus 14 M expiring is the only likely trade to work. The return on that is not likely to be high. Maybe Ja Green plus Temple at best. Hart might yield us a 2nd rounder to complete the process.
    Will that be attractive to Wes Matthews or DJ after a potential buyout?
    I doubt it.

    It got in with the wrong crowd. Started hanging out with Jadeveon Clowneys knee and it led to poor life choices. Really sad too Eric Gordon's knee had a bright, flexible future. Now it's just scar tissue and drug use.

    He basically does this every trade deadline. Or if he's being shopped. I remember he played like garbage during the butler talks. Then as soon as butler went to Philly Gordon magically played better.

    And previous trade deadlines he always had a nagging injury or shot badly. Let a lone when we got Lou Williams he got mentally taken out of games and his efficiency went down .

    Nothing new here from E.G

    Mostly everyone on this team is old and banged-up. It's depressing.

    Even if it was fine, this is a game he should sit regardless. Now, this should be a game where a bunch of guys find their shot again.
