Best for both him and the Suns to move on, but I will genuinely miss Eric Gordon’s chaotic jump passes and willingness to pull from like 8 feet behind the 3-point line – 8:31 PM

Eric Gordon opting out wasn’t good for PHX. They only have his Non-Bird Rights so he’ll likely leave in Free Agency.
Josh Okogie opting out isn’t the same. PHX has his Early Bird Rights and can use that to sign him to a much larger contract moving forward (up to 4yrs/$56.5M). – 1:39 PM

More on this storyline
Eric Gordon: “I did represent the US, but I’m also Bahamian. My mom was born there and I grew up there. And so for me to switch over to even a smaller country is more meaningful. So I think that thing like the naturalized players are subjects in other countries. I think it does work out well for me”. -via EuroHoops.net / June 28, 2024
For Eric Gordon, his experience with the US national team doesn’t really apply to the Bahamas, but the Bahamas are not a pushover despite the results: “No, it’s definitely different. I think our team is built for it. We have a good enough team to try to make it to the Olympics as long as we stay together. And the Acropolis tournament was an experience for our young guys to feel how the euro game really is”. -via EuroHoops.net / June 28, 2024
Shams Charania: Phoenix’s Eric Gordon is declining his $3.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season and becomes a free agent, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Multiple contenders are expected to pursue Gordon, who averaged 11 points on 37.8 percent 3-point shooting last season. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / June 27, 2024
