As the trade deadline approaches, there are more rumors in the NBA trading market, among which Rockets veteran Gordon is a point of concern for many fans, and recently NBA player Redick also talked about Gordon, he said: "Those NBA championship contenders should strengthen in the upcoming trade deadline, you are looking for players who can make up for your key positions, I think Eric Gordon is that person." ”
Gordon is valued because he has played a very bright performance with the Rockets this season, although he has only averaged 14.8 points per game this season, which is relatively low compared to the past few seasons, but his efficiency has set a new career high, and his shooting rate has reached 50.6%, his three-point shooting rate has reached 45.2%, and his true shooting rate has reached 64%, which is one of the few in the league in the same position. For Gordon, he also hopes to get a championship ring in his career, if he continues to stay in the Rockets, the dream will most likely come to naught, if he is like Harden and Tucker in the past, as long as he applies to leave the team with management, then Stone will definitely try his best to meet Gordon's requirements.

Looking at this season, the Rockets have achieved 14 wins and 33 losses, in which Gordon is absent, the team did not win a single game, and when he was able to score more than 18 points, the Rockets achieved a 9-1 record, which shows how important Gordon is to the Rockets this season.
In the past period of time, the Rockets had just established a tacit understanding, and Silas said, "I think we have found some success factors that we are trying to build, and with success comes the expectation of ourselves." We really didn't know who we were at the beginning of the season, and now we're starting to understand who we are and I'm looking forward to our team.
