    It would be good for them if they can sign Gordon, move Paul George to SF full-time and trade Granger.

    out of those teams listed, Pacers are the best team, so it would be best for him to go there, and move George to sf, while trading granger like A_3PO mentioned.

    but i think he stays with the hornets.

    Gordon is from Indy, his brother is in high school there and Eric wants to see him play high school ball and then probably in college (and likely at IU, 40 miles away). Eric wants to be in Indy long term. The thing is, he doesn't was to be a Dwight Howard prima donna and say he will go to just one place.

    I expect a Hornets-Pacers trade, though. Paul George, Darren Collison (who the Hornets like), and a #1 pick may get it done. The Hornet do not want equal salary back and would prefer George to Granger, most people say.

    The Pacers are kind of stuck though, if they give Hibbert the max and Gordon the max, then give Hill 8-9 million, they are set up to be in a salary range the owner doesn't want to be in.

    Kamen is visiting and may be thought of as a half-price alternative to Hibbert (assuming 7-8 mil would do it).

    I don't know if Kamen/West/Granger/Gordon/Hill helps them next year. I guess it depends on Gordon's ability to wear a jersey rather than a suit.

    So Morey's meeting with Gordon is a smokescreen to keep Martin, Lee and Lamb. Clever.

    If money is the same in all, I think Indiana wins too.

    I don't want him here. I love his talent, he's got a natural scoring ability, but his injury/durability concerns outweigh those. Don't want another injury-prone star, please.

    We have the money to sign Eric Gordon, outright? Or do we need to trade for cap relief?

    Also:

    Hill
    Gordon
    Granger
    West
    Hibbert

    That's scary for the East.

    That was such a stupid decision. If Gordon leaves, then they basically traded one of the best point guards in the league for a the tenth pick. They really should have took a Meyers Leonard or Jeremy Lamb or Kendall Marshall- or traded the pick.

    That be a smart move by the Pacers. They could probably get a good haul for Granger. Maybe even get a guy like Al Horford- that be sick.

    Pacers just resigned George Hill, and if they plan on bringing Hibbert back I highly doubt they would have the room to bring in Gordon.
