Sat next to @George_Hill3 and @TheofficialEG10 at the warren game asked ghill if he was recruiting EJ to the pacers he said yes he is....via Twitter

Looks like George Hill and Eric Gordon have been hanging out this summer. They played in the Indy pro Am (won championship game), and now they are attending football (high school football) and basketball (WNBA Indiana Fever) games together. This isn't good news for Clipper fans.

I wouldn't put too much stalk into this

The clippers will offer him more money than the Pacers can, and EJ has been spending a lot of time in LA as well.

Maybe EJ is recruiting Hill to the Clippers.

just kidding. I hope it’s no big deal. Just guys from the same state hanging out.

Damn, you don't think they are dating?

Seriously, George Hill is a little older than EJ but played at nearby Broad Ripple on the northside close to North Central where EJ went. Top players that grow up in close proximity get to know each other and some click as friends. We may be in trouble though if Hill can show EJ how to fix his twitter picture.

We may really be in trouble if it was George Hill that took that picture.

Good point. Both TMZ and Chloe and Lamar are on this right now.

LOL@georgehill

I’m not worried about this at all. If it was Derrick Rose, then I would be crapping my pants.

Clippers own staples center!!!

I'm sure Hill will bug EJ to join him in Indy

and I’m even more sure EJ’s response is…

2 letters “N-O”

and when asked why he will say

2 words “Blake-Griffin”

As much as we like Blake, I think Blake Griffin might be a reason for EJ to leave the Clippers.

1. EJ will have to sign a contract not knowing if Blake Griffin will be a Clipper for the next 5-6+ years.

2. EJ might never get his fair share of national coverage with Blake Griffin on the team. I mean serioulsy, Westbrook has Durant, but RW is an All Star and gets plenty of coverage from the media. Same goes for Kevin Love. Love and the Wolves in his 3 seasons, have won like 50 or so games and lost 180+.

Eric Gordon might be the best shooting guard in the NBA in the very near future, but very few fans know who he is. The reason being is he is almost never mentioned on Sportscenter or always overlooked.

I am sure EJ would love to play infront of his family on a nightly basis in Indiana. I am sure Hoosier fans would embrace him, and he would no doubt be the face of the Pacers franchise.

I am not saying I want EJ to go to the Pacers, but for his name brand and career, it might just be a better fit.
