A source close to Eric Gordon said he is leaning toward opting-in to play out the final year of his contract with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Gordon is looking to emerge in Pelicans new head coach Alvin Gentry's up-tempo, high-scoring offense that involves ball movement and plenty of perimeter shots from both guard spots.
According to the source close to Gordon, he has pretty much made up his mind and is just waiting to make his final decision by June 21. If Gordon opts in, he is scheduled to make $15.5 million this upcoming season.
