On February 6, Beijing time, the deadline for the trade of MLB basketball players is about to arrive, which also means that some teams that want to improve their lineups must make trades in recent days, so that they can enter the playoffs with the strongest lineup to compete. For example, the Lakers who need outside shooters, the Nets who want to "change the core", and even the Suns, who failed to beat the Bucks in the Finals last season, are among the popular teams for trade.
The Rockets were not idle, and several players were put on the shelves by the Rockets management, including Rockets shooter Eric Gordon. Based on the comprehensive news, it has been determined that there should be 3 teams that have been contacted with the Rockets, and the goal is to get the 33-year-old veteran into his team. The Cavaliers' offer is two second-round draft picks, the Suns are in contact with the Rockets while not revealing how the offer will be, and the third team interested in Gordon is the Pelicans.
The Pelicans have put Josh Hart, Hayes, and Walker on the shelves, and while not revealing what the offer is for Gordon, it could be any of the three. Look at the recent situation of The Houston Rockets Gordon, the current performance and data of Gordon is not as good as the first half of the season, after all, he has nothing to prove himself, in order to prevent injury, now Gordon often "closes the play" on the court, reducing the number and intensity of breakthroughs and confrontations, and improving the outside shooting.
In the game against the Spurs, Gordon only had 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 3-of-5 shooting in 21 minutes, and it can be seen that the Rockets have worked hard to ensure that Gordon is not injured before the trade, thus affecting the completion of the trade. There is no point in Gordon staying with the Rockets, there is no big role other than the so-called help for young players, rather than sending Gordon away, letting him have a "way to live", and letting Gordon fight for his first title in the final years of his career.
3 team offer Gordon, the rocket team or let him go, I believe in the next few days, there will be an answer. Gordon may be getting closer and closer to saying goodbye to the Rockets, so who will the rockets' future second-team core be? In fact, Christopher is the "Little Gordon" specially created by the Rockets. Compared with Gordon, Christopher's style of play is similar, they are the kind of players who can shoot, break through, defend well, and have first-class confrontation ability, and their organizational ability is not weak.
Against the Spurs, Christopher played the best game of his NBA career, with 23 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in a single game, only 1 turnover, and even Christopher was praised by Rockets coach Silas after the game. TOEFL also said he wanted to continue playing the previous performance of the second team and show vitality. Since joining the Rockets, Eric Gordon has been the first core of the second team for most of the time, and now Gordon is facing leaving Space City, which also means that Christopher will take over the mantle of Dengo and become the leader of the second team of Space City.
