Eric Gordon says Clippers lied to him about trade
“All you do is take the man’s word and take that he said that no one is going to go anywhere,” Gordon told Yahoo! Sports. “… To completely lie like that is something unprofessional.”

NBA's Hypocritical Hornet: What Comes Around Goes Around for Eric Gordon
While Gordon's complaints might be justified, University of Illinois head coach Bruce Weber must be having a laugh.
Gordon is guilty of the same behavior. Pot meet kettle.
In the fall of 2005, the 6'3" Gordon was a top five recruit from Indianapolis' North Central High School. The point guard verbally committed to Weber and the University of Illinois.
Gordon ranked first in the Class of 2007 according to Rivals.com and was considered by many to be Weber's prize recruit, who would put the Fighting Illini back in the national spotlight.
After honoring his oral commitment to Illinois for nearly a year, Gordon abruptly changed his mind on October 13, 2006. He signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Indiana University under recently named coach, Kelvin Sampson just weeks later.
With so little time left in the recruiting window, Illinois' recruiting class was left in shambles.
"If you have a kid [orally] committed, then for that eight or nine months you don't recruit anyone else," Bruce Weber told ESPN.
"So you lose all that time recruiting other kids, because you have one committed. Ask 98 percent of the coaches, and they'll tell you that they stop calling kids once they [orally commit]. We do. Most do it."
