The Rockets looking for a first round of Draft against Eric Gordon?

This time, is it the “right one” (transfer rumour) for Eric Gordon ? According to Mark Stein, the back of the Rockets, accustomed to seeing his name circulating in the sounds of the corridor, could pack his bags soon. The Texans would be looking for a new first round of Draft, for this year or the following ones, in return.

We recall that the latter have just sent Christian Wood to Dallas to recover in particular the 26th choice of the next Draft. Houston thus has three “picks” in the first round (3rd, 17th and 26th).

The Rockets had already gotten their hands on four players from the previous selection (Jalen Green, Usman Garuba, Alperen Sengun and Josh Christopher) and should therefore have a particularly young workforce.

The oldest player (33 years old) and experienced in the team, Eric Gordon, whose The Athletic does not imagine the departure, must receive 19.5 million dollars next year, the highest salary of the team (in apart from the John Wall case).

Holder most of the time last season, the former Clippers or Pelicans player still brought 13 points on average with 41% long-distance success and may particularly interest title candidates looking for a 6th man capable of dismissing the game off the bench.
