Eric Gordon is reportedly going to be a max-level contract player for at least four years. Now the question is if he will be playing for the Hornets or the Suns.
ESPN's Chris Broussard tweeted out the news of the massive offer that the Phoenix Suns and shooting guard Gordon agreed to:
Eric Gordon and the Phoenix Suns agree to a Maximum Offer sheet worth $58 million over 4 years, sources said.

Gordon, a restricted free agent who spent last season with the New Orleans Hornets after being a part of the Chris Paul trade, can officially sign this offer sheet on July 11, and at that point, the Hornets will have three days to match the offer.
In a prepared statement passed along by Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic, Gordon offered up the following:
