The Cashfans have said before that these games make you realize that Eric Gordon is the best injured player on the Rockets list and we need to trade him. (Gordon is a forward asset with trading value)
The US media also said that Gordon did not become crazy because of the trade rumors, he did not lose his cool, because the transaction has not yet come, he is just coaching young people, busy on both ends of the attack and defense, he brings spirit to the team. I really hope the Rockets find a good deal for him and send him to a competitive team.
