Eric Gordon: I was supposed to sign a max deal with Clippers but then the lockout happened
Eric Gordon: “I was supposed to sign a max deal with LA, like, right then and there. And then that’s when we had the lockout. Once we got back from that, they were promising me, ‘You’re going to be here for five years,’ this and that. The trade was done; it was supposed to be Bledsoe, Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu. And then, once they backed out of it, David Stern probably went to the GM, and they just threw me in there, and the rest was history. I was a little confused, and I was younger too. When I got to New Orleans, I wanted to do well, but I had already gotten injured. And people down there thought I just didn’t give a damn or anything while I was down there.”Source: YouTube

Derek Bodner: Nick Nurse says that Joel Embiid did all the live drills today “up to scrimmaging” as they look to ramp him up to the start of the season. Nurse says that Embiid was not the only one who didn’t scrimmage (Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon did not scrimmage either). -via Twitter @DerekBodnerNBA / October 1, 2024
Evan Sidery: The Suns plan to play Damion Lee in the role replacing Eric Gordon off the bench next season, per @Gambo987 (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…).

As Eric Gordon now heads to Philadelphia, he will now be playing with superstar big man Joel Embiid. Gordon is no stranger to playing with stars as he has played with the likes of Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Kevin Durant, and others in the past. “Well, I think he’ll be the most dominant or dominant big that’ll be my teammate,” Gordon laughed. “I’ve had AD before, Blake Griffin during his good time. I mean, I’ve had a lot of good bigs, but he’s very dynamic.” -via Sixers Wire / July 12, 2024
