Dammit fevertrees, I was about to troll everyone saying the Hornets weren't gonna match. Asshole.

[DMC]

Cool, they might make the bubble next season.

Troll as in make everyone think they got a shot at the :lobt: next season? Cornerstone + Unibrow = instant dynasty!

Signing a player that's made it known he wants to leave, what could possibly go wrong with that?

Because letting him go for nothing is even a better idea.

[BRHornet45]

well lets see what Gordon will bring to the team ...

- negative and selfish attitude

- clubhouse cancer / bad influence on younger players

- wasting a ton of payroll while sitting on the bench with numerous injuries

- won't help sell tickets (despite thinking he is a star) because he has the personality of a brick wall


but hey he once averaged 22 points per game over a 56 game stretch when playing for the shitty Clippers so he must be worth it right?

[Kai]

He tried, failed to get out. Apologize and roll with it.

[Pelicans78]

Hornets still have 5 million under the cap and the 2.57 mil MLE. Sucks they didn't go after Brand, but hopefully they can get a center. I say go after Stiemsma for a cheap one year deal.

The Spirit are fucked without Team Leader and Closer Jarrett Jack.

lol son even with this bad news about Gordon, getting rid of Jack was the best news of the off season so far.... and yes that's counting Benson taking over ownership. I respect Jack for his effort, but he's just not the player that he tries so hard to be. as a matter of fact he is a borderline NBA caliber player and should probably be starting somewhere in the D-League or in Europe. with Jack off the team the Hornets automatically gain at least 10-12 wins (that's about how many he single handedly lost last season for them).

According to you, he's better than Tim Duncan.

[BRHornet45]

son tell me what wasn't factual about what I posted above?

[BRHornet45]

According to you, he's better than Tim Duncan.

ummm at this point in their careers when healthy? yes he is. you're argument otherwise is downright silly. I would rather have Duncan than Gordon, but that doesn't mean Duncan is the overall better talent at this point. Duncan's attitude and experience are worth more than Gordon's BS.

[pass1st]

son tell me what wasn't factual about what I posted above?

Son, I think he will sell tickets. Just as many as he believes he can

[lakerhaterade]

Son, I think he will sell tickets. Just as many as he believes he can

Yeah I think BR just has too strong of a Gordon-phobia to admit this at the very least

[Venti Quattro]

Looks like the Spirit bumped their heads in the cornerstone.

[BRHornet45]

Son, I think he will sell tickets. Just as many as he believes he can

lol good one

[ElNono]

son, you think he's gonna make it to training camp healthy?

[BRHornet45]

Yeah I think BR just has too strong of a Gordon-phobia to admit this at the very least

and son I think you're not understanding the underlying knock to Gordon he was saying in that message lol.

[BRHornet45]

son, you think he's gonna make it to training camp healthy?

son its really a crap shoot to be honest. if he eats too much spicy food before training camp and gets constipated then he may accidentally shatter his rib cage straining on the toilet. anything can happen.

[ElNono]

might break a bone in his hand signing the contract, tbh

[BRHornet45]

or get his feelings hurt during the pre-game ceremony when the Hornets are celebrating Anthony Davis bringing the Gold medal to N.O.. hurt feelings could result in a 2-4 week injury.

[Venti Quattro]

BRH:lolrnet

Seriously B, drop the act and admit how thrilled you are that the Cornerstone is BACK tbh...

[BRHornet45]

lol brand new L.A. Kings and Clippers fan. how convenient you just so happen to like those two teams within the last year son!

[Clipper Nation]

lol brand new L.A. Kings and Clippers fan. how convenient you just so happen to like those two teams within the last year son!

:lol LIFELONG Kings and Clippers fan, B....

Just sit back and enjoy another season of the Cornerstone doin' work, tbh...

[BRHornet45]

lol sure thing son. I bet you really have been a "LIFELONG Kings and Clippers fan". you just started watching and posting about them after the Clippers got CP3 and the Kings won the championship. its ok though, I'll believe you.

[Clipper Nation]

I signed up last October, B... look it up :lol

[BRHornet45]

exactly lol

[Stalin]

br more than a little butthurt after the cornerstone's return, tbh

[Clipper Nation]

br more than a little butthurt after the cornerstone's return, tbh

Nah... he's actually thrilled but just won't admit it, tbh...

[Clipper Nation]

exactly lol

LOL, not exactly at all... that was BEFORE CP3 or the Kings' Stanley Cup... nice try though...

[100%duncan]

They st:crycked

[hehateme]

might break a bone in his hand signing the contract, tbh

BR would be on suicide watch after that but hell it would be hilarious.

[BRHornet45]

BR would be on suicide watch after that but hell it would be hilarious.

son you obviously don't pay attention to me on here. I not only would LOL if that happened, but I almost expect it to happen. with Eric "The Kidney Stone" Gordon its not a matter of if he gets hurt, its a matter of when.

[Kai]

BR, we have rules about picking on endangered species, bro. You're not allowed scare off the only fan of an organization on this site :lol

[hehateme]

son you obviously don't pay attention to me on here. I not only would LOL if that happened, but I almost expect it to happen. with Eric "The Kidney Stone" Gordon its not a matter of if he gets hurt, its a matter of when.

I fully expect him to sign with the other hand or his two monkey feet, laugh his way to the bank and continue to fuck you over personally till he is traded to the Magic for Hedo, a stick of gum and a razor for unibrow.

[Spurtacus]

son what will you do if the 'Eye of the Beli' doesn't resign?

[Kamnik]

Allthough I am a a "Suns fan" since Dragič signed again (Spurs still my first love) I quite happy the didn't waste their cap space with Gordon.

I sincerely hope they can find a capable big man than anything else....

[-21-]

"The Cornerstone" :rollin

I don't understand why they would take him back when he has said he wanted to leave for Phoenix!

Plus, they already have a scorer Rivers. I don't care what you say, he may have the ability to pass or see the floor but he's mentality is to shoot first and shoot second. Austin Rivers is a 2 guard not a point.

[Latarian Milton]

spirit don't want phoenix to get him for free which's obvious. phoenix should've inquired NO about the possibility of making a S&T deal, rather than test their lucky by offering him a contract, with the forlorn hope that the spirit don't match. it's a loss-loss deal for both spirit and phoenix imho, spirit just brought back someone who doesn't wanna play for them and who will probably continue to act like a lazy ass

[fevertrees]

Spirit got the best backcourt in the NBA now so yall niggas can hate...Cornerstone dropping 30 a game this season

[mudyez]

who are the "spirit"?

[Kai]

who are the "spirit"?

Angels

[fevertrees]

Rivers and Gordon + Unibrow = Division title at least

[mudyez]

Angels

what?

so its not the "hornets" anymore?

The Cornerstone


Real talk if the Hornets don't try to establish Rivers as a full time point guard and just accept the fact their backcourt has two combo guards who can share PG duties, they could be good. If they try to turn Austin Rivers into a point guard, they could fall apart really quickly. Rivers isn't a point guard and demonstrated that last year at Duke.

We also knew Gordon was just blowing smoke about how he hates New Orleans and loves Phoenix as an attempt to get New Orleans away from matching. Now that they have matched, he's not gonna pretend to hate New Orleans anymore. Good move on their part.

This isn't gonna ruin the Suns' off season as much as signing Scola to a 3 year deal will. That money shoulda gone towards cap space for next year or signing Juice Mayonnaise.
