Eric Gordon hoping to "give more" to New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans star Eric Gordon insists that he is able to "give more" to the team and has dismissed trade talk.

Having missed much of his first two seasons with the franchise, Gordon has played in 40 games so far this year and has been a reliable presence.

"Individually, I think I can give more, do more," Gordon said after practice on Monday, ESPN reports.

Gordon has averaged nearly 16 points per game as he has taken on more responsibility in the absence of injured pair Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday.
