New Orleans will be sending local favourite Darren Collison, along with Julian Wright, to the LA Clippers, in return for Eric Gordon.
It is a sad day to see Darren leave, he filled the boots of Chris Paul admirably last season, and has huge upside, however we are committed to building a team around Chris Paul, and bringing in a long-term partner in Eric Gordon gives Chris great scoring help in the backcourt. We are excited to see what they can achieve together.
Salary details as follows:
Julian Wright $2,858,057
Darren Collison $1,361,040
Eric Gordon $3,016,680
The deal works as LAC are $11m under the salary cap.
The Los Angeles Clippers agree. We love Collison as a Point Guard and believe he could be the face of the franchise within a year. I don't think Eric Gordon will be able to improve vastly from where he is in his career right now. I also dislike his size.
