As of 4 a.m. tomorrow, the NBA trading deadline is coming, several teams active in the NBA market have already traded, and there is still no movement left in the rocket market. It should be known that the team's veterans Gordon, Theis, Wood and others are players in the transaction rumors, especially Gordon is the jigsaw puzzle player that many championship teams want.
He played a very good season with the Rockets this season, averaging 14.2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which does not look very impressive, but his three-point shooting rate of 42.7% is the best season of his career, plus he has a good defense and the ability to play without the ball, joining any championship-level team can provide a very big help. But judging from the latest news and developments, the Rockets will not have a deal before the closing of the trading day, especially about Gordon.
In the previous two games against the Pelicans, Gordon missed the game, although it was said that it was due to injury reasons, but this was a signal to trade Gordon in the eyes of many people, and in fact there were many teams that gave Stone an offer, but it did not seem to meet the requirements of the Rockets management. At present, the teams that have the ability to send an offer for Gordon have completed the transaction, so that Gordon's most likely next home is the Sun, but according to the latest reports in the US media, the Suns have not yet included the future first-round draft picks in Gordon's trading discussions, and if the Rockets want to trade Gordon in the next 24 hours, they will need to reduce the asking price.
It is obvious that the Sun is under the price, but the management of the Rockets does not seem to want to reduce the meaning of the asking price, according to the rocket team reporter Fagan's report, the Rockets not only do not have the meaning of the price reduction, but also the requirements for the first round of the signing price are very high, not only do not require a lot of protection, there are also requirements for the year of the first round of the pick, do not have the Rockets have multiple draft pick reserves, do not want the first round of this year. Such a request can be said to scare away the buyers in the trading market at once, so it is impossible to send Gordon before the end of the trading day. In addition, Gordon also said in an interview that his injury situation has improved, he will look at his situation in today's and tomorrow's training, and if he recovers ideally, he can play against the Raptors.
But in fact, Gordon staying in the team is not bad for Hugh City, the Rockets are in the process of rebuilding, they need an old future to lead this team, set an example for young people, help young players grow, in this season's game, Gordon's absence of the Rockets have not been able to win the next game, which shows how important Gordon is to this Rocket now. For the management of the Rockets, even if Gordon cannot be traded now, he still has a very large trading value in the offseason, which will allow the Rockets to have more room to operate in the trading market and make the team more imaginative. So not trading Gordon or even Tesswood now has little impact on the Rockets' future.
Of course, if the team can press the whistle to get rid of Wall, it would be great, wait and see...
