    He's very injury prone.

    We'd if it takes Martin and say Patterson...fine.

    But giving up White or Lamb for Gordon is silly IMO.

    Lamb to some is the top SG prospect of the 2012 draft and White is a intriguing player you'd probably like to see play before giving up.

    I understand Gordon is proven and a sure thing but he's not going to elevate this team to that next level so it's better to just roll the dice with what you have.

    And the Thunder sucked in Kevin Durant's first two years as well.

    Before people jump all over me, I'm not saying Eric Gordon is as good as Durant... all I'm saying is that sometimes it takes a while for a player to learn how to "win."

    Eric Gordon didn't just play well last year (when he was actually able to play)... he made a significant difference in how good the Hornets were.

    Now, I understand that giving up 2 rookies is a hell of a risk for a guy that seems to struggle quite a bit with staying healthy, but for me, I think Gordon is worth it.

    Why would they want Scola? I thought they wanted to free up money?

    Um, Morey....you are a Rockets fan, right?

    Keep Royce. Keep Motie.

    Gawd, I like Eric Gordon, but Morey's so hard-up for a star he'll hand over his own mother.

    Two of DMo or White or Lamb or TJones or Ppat?

    Give'em Ppat and Tjones, they're Kentucky guys to match with Unibrow.

    And if you can't trade Kevin Martin....amnesty his ass!

    Then we screw over Courtney Lee. WHOO HOO!

    I like a lot of the guys Morey has been targeting, and I'm actually a fan of EG's. But I don't want to invest a couple picks and a max contract into him.

    Gordon is worth the risk. His injury prone past is the only reason he may be attainable. However, we should not do this trade if it involves Lamb,Motiejunas, or White. I have a special feeling about those guys. I question the credibility of this "source" anyway. If this had legs it seems it would be on Hoopshype or some other rumor site by now.

    Yeah, I was just on the Hornets forum, they were all questioning his source as well. They all seem to know this guy...

    Dear Martin and Lee, I'll let you finish but Eric Gordon has been on a national team and got recruited by Coach Sampson once before.
