Here’s what people were saying about the deal:
Keith Pompey: “Source confirms the Sixers are trading Eric Gordon to the Memphis Grizzlies for a 2032 second-round pick swap.”
Grant Afseth: “The Memphis Grizzlies plan to waive Georges Niang to make room for Eric Gordon from the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told @DALHoopsJournal.”
@Liberty_Ballers: “Sixers reportedly salary dump Eric Gordon to Grizzlies”
@RBPhillyTake: “Never made any sense for the Sixers to sign Eric Gordon as a “mentor” to have to attach a 2nd round pick swap to get rid of him. And Kyle Lowry who has a no-trade clause and can’t play. And then they trade a 20-year old guard who actually can play. Straight up incompetence.”
