So I stretched it out a little bit, but still, even if he wanted to be picked high, you would at least think he'd try to be optimistic about if he did fall to the Pacers, but instead "well I don't know", I dunno, doesn't sound like he wants to play here.

I think he fully expects to be off the board by #7, so a fall to #11 would hurt him. I dont read that he would be unhappy with the Pacers organization, just unhappy at falling in the draft.

I think that anyone who was once considered the best player in the '08 class would be a little disappointed to be drafted lower than expected. Also, not saying that this is the case, but I'm sure a top 5 or 6 pick gets a little more money than someone who fell outside of the top ten. I think that he just wants to go as high as he possibly can.

I would love to get Gordon. I say there is a 30% chance we do

I don't think it's that he doesn't want to be a Pacer, I think it's just he wants more money and a more prestigious draft spot. Plus, he probably wouldn't even start on this team whereas other teams probably give him a chance right away.
