Rumor: New Orleans Hornets Open To Trading Eric Gordon

There was mass controversy during the short NBA offseason between the New Orleans Hornets trading former guard Chris Paul but eventually Paul landed in Los Angeles and the Hornets received a vital piece for the future in Eric Gordon among other players. However, according to Hoopsworld writer Steve Kyler, the Hornets would be willing to trade Gordon for a “legit star.” Kyler also addressed Indiana Pacers fans in a tweet regarding Gordon for Pacer forward Danny Granger. The problem with Gordon is that he is injury prone and a team would have to be absolutely sold on his “potential” for him to move. Other than that, Gordon is headed to restricted free agency at the end of this season. Follow Ryan Gaydos on Twitter @RyanGaydos
