David Aldridge -

Per a source who has been briefed on NO-LAC negotiations, the Hornets have to choose between the Minnesota pick and Gordon. Can't have both.

hmm <URL></URL>

Unless Gordon is willing to sign long-term, I'd take the pick for sure.

Stop clowning AC - that guy's a solid backup PG. Busts his *** and hustles like crazy.

Helped the Knicks a few times and a team like Toronto can find use from him.

Not really clowning him more so than I am the Raptors. Signing Jamaal Magloire, Aaron Gray, and now Anthony Carter. Clearly making power moves.....

Once again I ask, what are the Raptors doing?

It's like Colangelo is playing 2K12 and getting all the free agents at the bottom of the menu screen.

I think the Raptors are secretly trying to tank this season, they'd never admit it of course but I can see why when you look at this up coming draft. Plus the fact that Valanciunas is by all counts a great pick up (he'll just spend this year in Euroleague it seems) they've got an even bigger reason to tank in hope of a great pick. If the Raptors say for example got Harrison Barnes they'd have pretty much met all their needs.

Jose Calderon
DeMar Derozan
Harrison Barnes
Andrea Bargnani
Jonas Valanciunas

Isn't a bad starting 5 right there you can swap Calderon with Bayless if you please, not bad. So suck it up as much as possible this season to potentially land Barnes? Not a bad plan unless you know they start winning like crazy...

When do you all think the Dwight saga will have an ending? Today? Tomorrow?

You'd think they'd get something done, so you could have a little time in training camp to gel.

I think I take Gordon, but that's just me.

I wish, but I'm sure that won't be the case. If anything this will go a good 2-3 days longer than it should.

Yeah, don't really think you can go wrong either way, but I feel like I'd rather take a rookie contract for 4 years or whatever it is and hope he blossoms into a star than taking Gordon for a year or 2 and then being left with nothing again.

They hit em with the Gilbert Arenas "pick one"

Not as sweet of a deal as we thought.

You have to take the pick. There's no guarantee Gordon even resigns with the Clippers, let alone the Hornets. Hornets could get two potential stars next year, or at the least, two legit starters.

At least we know Gordon isn't a necessity, like Broussard seems to believe. Or his source.

Awesome.

[Drewski]

Still feel like Clips should give both or meet the Veto hammer. If I'm the Clips id rather give up EG than the pick, but it needs to be both or I'll question why this large market team was given this package

Overpaying for Deandre with Blake coming of a rookie contract soon. Gordon will be paid as well
