Eric Gordon and the Houston Rockets?have agreed to a four-year, $53 million deal, a source told ESPNs Chris Broussard.The agreement was first reported by The Vertical.The Rockets had a busy Saturday. Before reaching the deal with Gordon, they also agreed to terms with power forward Ryan Anderson, his agent told ESPNs Marc Stein.Finding another outside shooter to complement newly hired coach Mike DAntonis up-tempo offensive system was next.Gordon has never played a full 82-game season, but he was snagged to give shooting guard James Harden another playmaker on offense, something Harden and DAntoni talked about prior to the start of free agency.Gordon, 27, arrived in New Orleans in the 2011 offseason as the prize of the trade that sent Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers.But Gordons career with the Hornets/Pelicans has been defined by his time off the court. The former seventh overall pick out of Indiana played just nine games in the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, and he has missed an average of 29 games per season since. In large part because of injuries, the eight-year veteran never turned into the offensive dynamo he seemed to be ready to become after averaging 22.3 points per game with an 18.56 player efficiency rating in his third and final season with the Clippers.Gordon averaged a respectable 15.3 points and 39 percent shooting on 3s in five seasons with New Orleans, but he routinely shot in the low 40s from the field and never topped a 16 player efficiency rating in a season when he played double-digit games.After rejecting a four-year extension from the then-Hornets in January 2012, Gordon signed a maximum offer sheet worth $58 million over four years with the Phoenix Suns that summer to play for then-coach Alvin Gentry. Despite Gordons declaration via a statement that Phoenix is just where my heart is now, New Orleans matched the deal for the restricted free agent.Gentry was hired as Pelicans coach last offseason, and Gordons first season under him resulted in a 56.6 true shooting percentage -- the highest of the guards New Orleans career.But Gordon finished 2015-16 ranked 27th among shooting guards in real plus-minus (minus-0.48) and missed 37 games after breaking the ring finger on his right (shooting) hand twice as the Pelicans sputtered to a 30-52 record.Information from ESPN.coms Calvin Watkins and Justin Verrier was used in this report.Dante Pettis Womens Jersey .

Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less.Collingwood are on the hunt for their fifth football boss since 2013 after the resignation of Graeme Allan following his AFL ban.The latest change comes at a critical time for the Magpies, with coach Nathan Buckley needing a big season from the team next year to ensure he keeps his job.Collingwood were among the big losers out of Tuesdays AFL Commission meeting, with Allan falling on his sword shortly after he accepted a 12-month AFL ban for his part in the Lachie Whitfield affair.His departure is a blow for Magpies president Eddie McGuire, who was pivotal in luring him from Greater Western Sydney this year.McGuire will enter his 19th season in charge next year - a full decade more than the next longest-serving current club president, Adelaides Rob Chapman.McGuire railed against media reports suggesting his position was under pressure.What is going to happen and what I can see from one hundred miles, is that papers, the cricket is no good and they want to get a story going, McGuire said on Triple M on Wednesday.And the story that they are all trying to rev up is that Collingwood (are in) disarray and Im under pressure etcetera.It is not happening. It is a made-up attack on the football club and me.Geoff Walsh, one of the key figures in Collingwoods 2010 premiership, left his role as Magpies football manager in 2013.Since then Rodney Eade, Neil Balme and most recently Allan have filled the role.Now Collingwood football operations manager Marcus Wagner will have the job on an interim basis while they look for a full-time replacement.ddddddddddddAllan, the Giants football boss at the time, was banned after Whitfield stayed at then-GWS welfare manager Craig Lamberts house for three days in May last year, allegedly to avoid a potential drug test.The trio were ultimately penalised for breaching the AFLs rules and not the anti-doping code.Whitfield will miss seven games of the 2017 season after accepting a six-month ban and Lambert has copped a 12-month suspension, with all sanctions ticked off by ASADA.Allan only replaced Balme in August after initially joining the club in a more development-based role in May, with the Pies aware he was under investigation when they hired him.But in accepting his resignation, the club revealed they were not made fully aware of all facets of the investigation.Collingwood received from Allan, in the form of a statutory declaration, a satisfactory account of the events in question, a club statement read.Collingwood was not aware or informed of the fact the matter was with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority at the time of Allans appointment.Balme has since been appointed football chief at Richmond, with Allans absence leaving Collingwoods football department in a parlous state heading into a make-or-break year for Buckley.
