The regular season has entered the second half, and the All-Star Weekend is coming soon. The Rockets players have even begun to look forward to next season, and Jaylen Green said he has made plans for next season, where he will be smarter and stronger. Shen Kyung, another rookie center of the Rockets, said he would use this offseason to build his body.
That's what the Rockets' young players think, but for another Rockets player, 33-year-old veteran Eric Gordon, his biggest concern may not be how to do in the offseason, but to find a way to make a choice before the trade deadline. We know that the Rockets have put Gordon on the trading table, and there is a good chance that Gordon will be traded in the next few days, while the Cavaliers, Pelicans and even the strongest Suns in the West have been in contact with the Rockets, and even the Cavaliers have made 2 second-round draft picks.
Now that the Rockets still haven't made a decision, what is Gordon's personal idea? The 33-year-old shooter also confided in the interview, saying: "I'm not worried, I just play, everyone can always hear different trade rumors, these will always happen." I know what's worth, the team knows my value, I just play, I just want to play well, whether it's here or elsewhere, I want to do it. ”
I don't know if you found it, but now Gordon's statement and tone of voice on the transaction have changed slightly. Not long ago, When talking about the deal, Gordon also said that he wanted to play with the young players of the Rockets, but now he seems to have accepted the fate of being traded, and said that whether it is on the Rockets or other teams, it is enough to let him play well.
So, did Gordon already get some information about what he would be trading? After all, as a member of the Rockets, Gordon can't be unaware of this, and the Rockets will also communicate with Gordon about the next team — just as the Rockets management asked Harden which club he wanted to go to last year when Harden traded.
Today's Gordon 2 options are happy to accept - let him continue to stay in the Rockets, he will also be very happy, although there is no championship to take, but Gordon is happy, and there are so many young players to follow him, every game is "happy basketball"; but it is also good to change teams, although the pressure will be great, but also to adapt to the new environment, new teammates and even new roles, positions, but the biggest advantage of this is that Gordon can go to a strong team like his former teammate Tucker to chase the championship trophy.
Don't look at Gordon has already had a big contract, but the 33-year-old's most lacking is a golden championship trophy, which must be what every veteran wants. Gordon can't influence the Rockets' idea of trading him, but he may be able to decide which team he goes to, after all, the Rockets now communicate with players before the trade, and the human touch of this team is gradually returning. In the end, no matter where Eric Gordon goes, I believe the fans will continue to support him.
