Eric Gordon

The NBA’s preseason has not been kind to the New Orleans Pelicans’ big men. First Alexis Ajinca went down with a right hamstring strain, which, per a team announcement, is expected to sideline him for the next four to six weeks. Now, to make matters worse, starting center/$60 million man Omer Asik is projected to [...]

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry isn’t messing around when it comes to Jrue Holiday. After missing just 14 games through the first four seasons of his career, all of which were spent with the Philadelphia 76ers, Holiday has missed 90 over the last two. Put simply, his time in New Orleans has not [...]

Eric Gordon’s feelings about the New Orleans Pelicans have changed. It was the summer of 2012, and Gordon, after spending a year in New Orleans following the Chris Paul trade, signed a max offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns in restricted free agency. Knowing the Pelicans (then the Hornets), could match that contract, he publicly [...]

Anthony Davis values stability. And, apparently, lower-seeded playoff berths. But mostly the stability thing. The New Orleans Pelicans haven’t changed much this offseason, much to the delight of their franchise cornerstone. They re-signed Davis to what is, as of now, the richest contract in NBA history, and they canned head coach Monty Williams in favor [...]

Damn. What’s a four-letter word for “this totally sucks, but it wouldn’t have sucked if it had happened a tad sooner?” Yeah, let’s stick with damn while really thinking about dropping F-Bombs. In untimely fashion, the New Orleans Pelicans announced Thursday that Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon will miss the remainder of this season: The [...]

Looking at the Atlanta Hawks, you just can’t help but shake your head. They let Josh Smith walk, which is cool. I was exhausted from writing about him, them and the rift that existed-but-didn’t-really-exist-except-it-did-exist between them. Snagging Paul Millsap was more than fine by me, too. He’s a talented forward who, with a little grooming, [...]

Max contracts usually solve everything, just not in the case of Eric Gordon. After receiving a four-year deal worth $58 million from the New Orleans Hornets this past summer, Gordon has pouted, been injured and, most recently, engaged in a shouting match with head coach Monty Williams. Oh, and he’s essentially been put back on [...]

There have been some pretty absurd rumors floating around as we near the NBA’s trade deadline, but the notion that the New Orleans Hornets are shopping Eric Gordon has to be the worst. According to ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard, the Hornets have made exploratory calls around the league in order to gauge the combo guard’s trade [...]

When the Portland Trail Blazers signed Nicolas Batum to a four year deal worth nearly $50 million, the hope was that he would develop into a superstar this season. But is he ready? It’s a fair question, because while the 23-year-old continues to improve on a season-by-season basis, his averages of 13.9 points, 4.6 rebounds [...]
