Chris Broussard: Eric Gordon and the Phoenix Suns agree to a Maximum Offer sheet worth $58 million over 4 years, sources said.

Well, time to see if New Orleans matches this. Hopefully they do.
And if they don't hopefully I'm wrong and DPG is right. I don't like this move at all, but the positives I can draw from it are that Phoenix doesn't like THAT pathetic and that hopefully their training staff can work with EG.
I hope you're right and Gordon doesn't kill their chances at tanking.
Their backcourt won't be 1/10th as big of a problem as the PF position is.
John Henson
You people do realize that the Suns have the only medical staff in the world that could get 82 games out of Eric Gordon, right.... hope the Hornets match that offer sheet, tbh...
Channing Frye... and?I hope you're right and Gordon doesn't kill their chances at tanking.

Tbh if the Suns overachieve they're gonna miss out on the lottery, plus this team got a 38 year old Steve Nash to average a double double and Grant Hill to be a serviceable player.
Hornets will match. No doubt about it. He was pimping teams for the max and Phoenix bit.
If he healthy, he can be a very good player.
If Nawlins matches, can we expect a Basketball Reasons Hornet meltdown in here?
Tbh, Gordon curbstomped the Spurs last year. They couldn't stop him.
Then again, the Spurs were pretty bad at defense so not sure how much that means.
I'm saying PF is still their problem position.
If they actually drafted Henson to go along w/ Gordon and possibly Dragic, I'd actually be interested in seeing how good they look.
A 25% chance at Shabazz is much more intriguing than Eric Gordon at this price.
Can't believe how stupid they were drafting a marginal talent like Marshall. Henson, TJones, and Royce White were all much better prospects. I love Henson and TJones. I would have rather drafted them over Rivers. I don't like the Rivers pick.
Rivers was probably drafted with the understanding that he would be the no 1 scoring option, since his dad and Monty are buddies.
Rivers was lucky to be drafted that high. If Gordon is around, he will never be the number one scoring option. Gordon is much more talented.
Mistake if they do. Use the money address other spots might as well let Rivers play big minutes. Don't like what u see u can chase Harden in the summer.
Definitely. I think Phoenix intrigued him because of their staff.
NOLA will match though.
Rivers isn't close to Gordon's level. He isn't that good. They drafted him 10 to play PG next to Gordon. Didn't like the decision. I thought he was a lower 1st round talent.
Gordon is injury prone, but its really hard finding a talented scoring SG who can take over late in games. I'm worried he will stay healthy somewhere else and be a perennial All-Star SG. He's a good on the ball defender as well. It's easier retaining him than chasing someone else. Plus, even if he gets his 14 million per season, they have enough cap room to sign two more max contracts next offseason.
I'm not arguing with you about not matching. There's reasons not to. Plus, they can do a sign and trade as well. I like Houston's pieces more than Phoenix. But I feel its more risk to let him go than to keep him. If he stays healthy, he gives them a potential perennial All-Star at the SG position who can score on his own. That's hard to find.

Henson would have been a win-win. He's obviously not ready to play NBA basketball yet, so he doesn't hurt the tank for Shabazz. Yet, lots of upside and he looks like he's a pretty hard worker from the way he has drastically improved his game the last 2 seasons after a Drummond-esque freshman campaign. LOL Marshall (and I even like the guy, but he was the wrI hope you're right and Gordon doesn't kill their chances at tanking.

ng pick).
I like the move. Hes worth the gamble. Four years isnt that long (great part of the new CBA).
If they can get both Dragic and Gordon, they could have a very potent backcourt. Their front court still absolutely sucks, but its a start.
The worry is that Hornets will threaten to match without S&T. They'll probably want first round picks, etc.
I do think the Angels match though, not having to pay that fifth year now.
I also think it's time to trade Gortat while his value is high and before his stats dip without Nash. This team needs to stop letting players' value tank and never trading them when they can actually get something.
Some great points I guess its worth the risk I like Gordon, just find that salary a bit high.u
Gortat could be used in a sign and trade with Gordon. He's the only asset I like for the Suns. I guess I would take Marshall and picks too.
Now I wish the Hornets really drafted Lamb instead of Rivers.
