With the trade deadline approaching, the Rockets are seen as the most likely team to put some tough players on the shelves by the deadline, and both Armony Brooks and David Nowaba are reportedly already eligible to be put on the shelves by the Rockets. And the only player on the Rockets lineup who doesn't qualify for a trade by the trade deadline is Garrison Matthews.
The 29-year-old Nuwaba, who has averaged 5.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 47.5 percent shooting in 14.2 minutes per game this season, is also an all-around defensive player, and given his age and the Rockets' rebuilding direction, if a team asks the Rockets about the possibility of trading Nuwaba, it is believed that general manager Rafael Stone's final decision is not unexpected.
The same is true of Armony Brooks, which simply puts most of the veteran players on the shelves before the trade deadline, after all, they are in the reconstruction stage and need to build a lineup around young players.
On the other hand, Rockets veteran Eric Gordon has been exposed in the past period of time that many teams have a greater interest in him, and the US media also listed on social media the most likely to promote the team involving Eric Gordon before this year's trade deadline:
Among the teams mentioned above that have great benefits for the Rockets and whether Gordon is a valuable home, the US media also listed that this may give the Rockets a good chip reward, and the teams that allow Gordon to compete are the Suns, 76ers, Bulls, Grizzlies and Warriors. These teams do have a lot of chips in their squads to push for deals involving Gordon, and they will also be better competitive teams when Gordon joins.
