Refused to trade Gordon? The Lakers plan will fail again, and there is no hope unless the rocket's request is met!
As we all know, in order to change the current bad situation, the Los Angeles Lakers urgently need to trade players who can change the status quo of the team to stimulate the chemistry of the entire team. After all, the schedule is now halfway through, leaving them with only 23 wins and 24 losses to rank eighth in the West. If they can't take advantage of the turnaround trade before the trade deadline arrives, then this season is basically a wasted ride!
According to previous reports, the Lakers have discussed the trading plan of Ben Simmons, Myrstor, and Grant, but because they have limited trading chips in their hands, they do not have much hope of getting one of these three people, because the transaction prices of their owners are very high, and it is difficult for the Lakers to meet. The Rockets' Eric Gordon and the Magic's Terrance Rose are the players the Lakers are most likely to trade, and these two are also the Lakers' B plan, and they will pursue Gordon and Rose in the absence of success in pursuing Bensi, Turner and Turner. But compared to Terrance Rose, Rocket guard Eric Gordon is the Lakers need more to rush the championship puzzle, his technical and tactical characteristics can be said to be very suitable for today's Lakers, especially the season's 52.2% three-point shooting rate, it can be said that the Lakers will salivate!
So, how likely are the Lakers to get Eric from the Rockets? Although Eric Gordon is not a non-seller of the Rockets, and even they are considering trading Gordon, but this season has been maintained in good health and in a bursting state, the Rockets asking price will certainly not be too low, the Lakers do not want to pick up Eric Gordon, want to get him must provide chips with sincerity, otherwise everything is not discussed!
A few days ago, Rockets reporter Kelly Iko wrote an article analyzing the situation of the Rockets before the trade deadline. Among them, he talked about the Eric Gordon deal, it is reported that the Rockets have received an offer about Eric Gordon, but they have rejected them one by one, because the Rockets are not eager to send Gordon away. Barring an "offer not to be ignored," Gordon is likely to stay with the Rockets after the trade deadline.
That is to say, unless they get an offer that cannot be ignored, the Rockets will refuse to trade Eric Gordon, and the team will leave him to continue to play for the Rockets, making him The Master of Jaylen Green and assisting him in his rapid growth! But it's clear that the Rockets don't have to keep Eric Gordon, and if you Lakers really want to trade Eric Gordon, you can also consider taking out the team's 2027 first-round pick as a trade chip, which is enough to impress the Rockets management to send Gordon. It is reported that the Lakers' 2027 first-round signing is of great deal value, and many teams want to get this draft pick, but it depends on how the Lakers use it!
The harsh reality now is that as long as the Lakers are reluctant to come up with a 2027 first-round pick, then they don't want to play The Rockets Gordon, let alone Get Grant, Simmons and Turner. It's time for Pelinka to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to go home empty-handed or bring Eric Gordon, the important puzzle piece of the championship, to Los Angeles, but it's time to weigh it up!
