      not sure if it was posted, but Eric Gordon out indefinitely, although it kind of sounds like he was cleared by doctors and just ruled himself out

      Earlier today, the New Orleans Hornets announced that all-star shooting guard Eric Gordon will be out indefinitely with a knee injury. Gordon has been dealing with pain in his right knee since having arthroscopic surgery on it back in February. Knees can be fickle, and the announcement that Gordon will be out for a prolonged period of time isn’t all that odd.

      What is odd, however, is how Hornets coach Monty Williams and GM Dell Demps are talking about the injury. From the Times-Picayune:

      “He’s processing some information right now and he doesn’t have any comment,” Demps said, without discussing just what that information was. “We don’t have any comment right now. We’re processing information and we will, at the appropriate time, give a statement.”

      […]

      “I’ve checked with Doc,” Williams said, “but for him to explain to me what’s going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn’t matter. You know what I’m saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to … what am I supposed to say?

      What they seem to implying is that Gordon has been cleared to play by team doctors but is deciding to sit out for reasons that aren’t quite clear. Remember, Gordon was not shy about expressing his displeasure at the Hornets’ decision to match his offer sheet from the Suns. This could get ugly.

        the NFL and NBA are so different with their player salaries it's nuts. Harden just got 80 mil of guaranteed money. Drew Brees got 60 mil.

            extensions for everybody!


            The Toronto Raptors are finalizing a four year, $40 million contract extension with DeMar DeRozan, league sources tell Y! Sports.
            Too much.

              BC is such a terrible GM i dont know why Toronto have held on to him for as long as they have.

                I don't know why they are rushing it. are they confident he's going to break out, or something? i doubt any other team would give him 8 mil a year right now.

                  I dont't think is that bad, 10 mil a year for a guy that can probably get better? for example Danny got 5 and 60 in his first extension.

                      He maybe will one day, he is not an scrub for sure, 10 mil a year could be a bargain later.

                        he better get better, and by a lot. Right now, i'd much rather have Afflalo than DeRozan, and people consider Afflalo overpaid at 8 mil or something.

                        I like how the current coach is using DeRozan, in kind of a James Worthy role, and if DeRozan embraces it and gets much better, he might be worth that money. But his improvement rate has been very slow so far... It's surprising to see this kind of player extended at such a price.

                          Who said Afflalo was overpaid? I haven't heard much of that. Love that guys game.

                            New Orleans is looking great, Greivis is controlling the tempo and Davis is kicking a**.

                              when we look back at this rookie class in 10 years, i won't be surprised at all if it has 4-5 all star bigs.

                                Harden is being just stupidly good right now. game 1 with a new team and he dominates. i expected him to shine with Houston, but this start still surprises me.
