Report: Eric Gordon to Sign Max Contract with Suns

July 3rd, 2012 by Michael Fogliano Leave a reply »
Under all of the Dwight Howard mess, it seems as though free agent shooting guard Eric Gordon will be finding a new home in Phoenix.

It was originally reported by Paul Coro of azcentral.com that the Suns received a commitment from Gordon to sign a maximum level contract.

Now, it has been solidified by ESPN's Chris Broussard that the contract is worth $58 million over four years. The offer sheet is to be signed by Gordon on July 11th.

Gordon, who is just 23 years old, has emerged as a top shooting guard in the league.

Broussard also tweeted on the transaction with a quote from Gordon himself:

 

Eric Gordon told me this: "I strongly feel (the Suns) are the right franchise for me. Phoenix is just where my heart is.''

Gordon seems to be eager to join the Suns organization and will certainly be a key building block for their future.

This all being said, the New Orleans Hornets still have the chance to match the offer or decide if they want to do a sign-and-trade elsewhere.
