LOGO WATCH #117...THE HIVE of NOLA keeps their #1 WORKER BEE #10...Sniper GORDON stays with HORNETS as they match the MAX from the VALLEY of the SUN-S

6-3 NOLA Hornets Sniper aka Worker Bee #10 Eric Gordon gets to stay in Nawlins' as they reportedly Match the Suns Max Offer of 4 Years $58 Million nba.com is reporting.

Gordon a former Lottery Pick of then LA Clippers now Lob City Fame has and will be vital part to the growth of the Hornets as they pick up two fine pieces via the 2012 NBA Draft in Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers.

The former Indiana Hoosier has a career 18 plus ppg and last season in minimal time in the 2011-12 season he averaged 20 plus ppg. It was important to re-sign the Hornets for their Franchise as Gordon is the piece they get back from the Blockbuster CP3 trade. If he would have went to the Valley of the Sun losing Paul would have meant they gave Paul away.

Now moving forward they have a legitimate 3 Piece Suit in Gordon, Davis, and Rivers to go along with Chris Kaman, Carl Landry, and Grevis Vasquez among others. GM Demps and Coach Monty Williams are building something along with the New Owner Tom Benson. Thank TB for cutting the Check for their #1 Worker Bee moving forward.
