Eric Gordon Articles - Page 3

The Houston Rockets are, to put it bluntly, the worst team in the NBA. Even beyond their league-worst record, they have caught some flak from their peers in recent weeks. John Wall, the former Rockets guard, didn’t mince words and put Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. on blast. However, as Austin Rivers said, those […]

The writing has been on the wall for Eric Gordon’s tenure coming to an end in Houston. The Rockets veteran is expected to find a new home sooner rather than later before the NBA’s trade deadline. It’s just a matter of what the best offer will eventually be. The Rockets have set their price tag […]

The Houston Rockets are on pace to have the worst record in the NBA again this season. Last season was an atrocious one for them as well, and it will still take a ton of time before they become relevant again as they continue their rebuilding process. Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr. are still […]

The Houston Rockets have fully embraced the rebuild. While the losses are to be expected, longtime guard Eric Gordon isn’t seeing as much progress as fans would hope from their young core. Eric Gordon, who’s been the subject of a bevy of trade rumors, spoke out about the Rockets youngsters not exactly developing in key […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have had a fairly strong start to the 2022-23 season, and have been on a tear as of late, winning eight of their last nine games to shoot up the Eastern Conference standings. Despite the Sixers latest run of success, it hasn’t caused the rumors surrounding James Harden’s future with the team […]

After years of competing for an NBA title, the Houston Rockets are now in a very different place. Following the trade of James Harden in 2020-21, the team entered a rebuilding phase. Now, the Rockets are a perennial lottery organization. That means that they could be sellers ahead of the upcoming NBA trade deadline and […]

Even with their team entering a deep rebuild, the Houston Rockets have always been reluctant to trade Eric Gordon. This was a bizarre decision: the combo guard doesn’t fit their current timeline, and he would net a good price from contending teams. This season, though, it seems like the team is finally willing to deal […]

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon has seen his name in trade rumors for years, even before the team dealt James Harden and entered a total rebuild. Considering Gordon’s prolific shooting ability, it’s easy to see why rival NBA teams have long been interested in him. And a recent report indicates that the Rockets might be […]

The Jae Crowder-Phoenix Suns trade saga appears to be nearing its conclusion. Three-and-D forwards are at a premium, making Crowder a coveted asset in the trade market. Of all the suitors, it seems as if the Milwaukee Bucks remain Crowder’s likeliest destination. However, the Bucks and Suns have been unable to find a suitable agreement […]

With one of the worst records (5-16) in the NBA through 21 games of the 2022-23 season, it is now time for a Houston Rockets trade. The Rockets are in full rebuild mode with Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, and Alperen Sengun, and every move they make should be about helping these prospects develop and adding […]

The Philadelphia 76ers entered 2022-23 full of expectations. However, after a month of basketball, things are far from ideal. The team is just 8-8 and would be in the Play-In Tournament if the regular season ended today. To make things worse, star Joel Embiid has already missed multiple games due to an injury and James […]

Eric Gordon is tired of all the losses the Houston Rockets are absorbing in the 2022-23 NBA regular season. But what irks him even more is the apparent lack of dedication from the Rockets to get those victories. Gordon made sure to get that message across following the Rockets’ 122-106 home loss Monday to the […]

The Houston Rockets, through the first few weeks of the regular season, are on pace yet again to be one of the worst teams in the league. Through 14 games, they have only won two games, and they lost for the 12th time this season after succumbing 122-106 to the Los Angeles Clippers. With the […]

The Houston Rockets are in the early stages of the long rebuild they embarked on the moment they shipped off longtime star James Harden to Brooklyn in January 2021. While there is an acknowledgement within the fanbase that the team is more likely to compete for lottery balls than a playoff spot, some fans are […]

With NBA training camp starting, many teams still have to answer questions surrounding their players. While the regular season is less than a month away, most rosters are far from set in stone. That is the case for many rebuilding teams. The Houston Rockets entered a rebuild of their own after a trade of star […]

Eric Gordon is a glaring anomaly at 33 years old, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t valuable. The veteran is currently listed as a starting guard/forward for the rebuilding Houston Rockets alongside stud Jalen Green. Gordon especially excels when it comes to making the game simpler for his younger colleagues and providing a great influence […]

It’s no secret the Los Angeles Lakers still need an influx of shooting. As long as Kyrie Irving remains available via trade, though, the purple-and-gold are apparently highly unlikely to go out and get it. ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported on Friday that though Los Angeles has “interest” in acquiring sharpshooters Buddy Hield of the Indiana […]

The Houston Rockets finished in the last position of the Western Conference with a 20-62 record. It was not long ago that the team was one win away of the NBA Finals after competing against the Golden State Warriors dynasty in 2018. Following years of title aspirations, the Rockets have completely switched directions. The team […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have already managed to make a few signings in free agency, bringing in Thomas Bryant, Juan Toscano-Anderson, and Lonnie Walker IV, among others. But, it’s not stopping there. The organization still needs to find more three-point shooting and GM Rob Pelinka is reportedly eyeing a couple of his ex-clients from when […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have added a couple of solid additions in free agency so far, including Danuel House Jr and P.J. Tucker, two former Houston Rockets. That makes sense since Daryl Morey used to be in their front office, and the Sixers president is also trying to bring another ex-player to Philly: Eric Gordon. The […]

The Houston Rockets can still make some noise in the 2022 NBA free agency. The Rockets have the opportunity to scour the market and hunt for free agent deals right now, though they don’t have the biggest leeway to do so. Keep in mind that free agency can be a minefield for eager front offices […]

While they may not be making major headlines, the Philadelphia 76ers have had a solid offseason thus far. Highlighted by the draft-night trade for De’Anthony Melton and the free-agent addition of PJ Tucker, Daryl Morey has done an excellent job improving the Sixers bench unit. The lack of talent in the second unit has been […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly still very much interested in trading for Eric Gordon from the Houston Rockets, but it remains to be seen what they have to give away to reunite the veteran wing with James Harden in Philly. Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle are reportedly on the trading block and could very well […]

Trade season is fast approaching (if it isn’t already here) and naturally, Eric Gordon has once again popped up as a player that could be on the move. This no longer comes as a surprise considering how the Houston Rockets veteran always seems to see his name dragged into trade rumors at every given opportunity. […]

The 2022 NBA Draft is quickly approaching, and it wouldn’t be pre-draft time without trade rumors circulating the league. Of course, after falling flat in the playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers are a main talking point in these conversations. One rumor focused on multiple star players being traded out of Philadelphia. Now, there’s more insight as […]

The Houston Rockets are far from done when it comes to making roster changes this offseason. After sending Christian Wood to the Dallas Mavericks, it looks like Eric Gordon is on the move next. According to NBA insider Marc Stein in his latest reporting via Substack, the Rockets are now looking to move Gordon next […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Although the opportunity to add a key piece for the future seems enticing, the best use of the pick is to trade it for a player that is experienced and ready to help right away. Finding a trade the Bucks can use […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have their work cut out for them this offseason. With almost no wiggle room, they will have to find ways to upgrade their roster after losing in the second round of the NBA playoffs for the fourth time in five years. Figuring out what to do with James Harden will be tricky. […]

The New Orleans Pelicans finally made it back to the NBA playoffs in the Zion Williamson era. Incredibly, though, they did it without Williamson. He watched from the bench as mid-season trade acquisition CJ McCollum turned the team around and lead them to the playoffs. With Williamson looking to make a long-term commitment to New […]

After seasons of perennial contention with James Harden, the Houston Rockets are now at the bottom of the Western Conference. They now have a young core of players, combined with their own pick in the upcoming draft. They are hoping it is the number one selection, of course, but even if it is not, the […]

The Houston Rockets are officially waving the white flag when it comes to the 2021-22 NBA season. With the playoffs out of reach, the Rockets will be rolling with a youthful lineup for the rest of the regular season, opting to bench their veterans for their remaining six games, according to Jonathan Feigen of The […]

The 2022 NBA trade deadline has been every bit as exciting as one may have hoped for. It’s not even Thursday yet and many of the major players have already been moved. To add even more gas to the fire, there are rumors of a potential Ben Simmons-James Harden trade being negotiated at the time […]

The Utah Jazz were handed a serious blow recently as wing Joe Ingles suffered a season-ending ACL injury. In the wake of the bad news, the team is looking to bring in a replacement for him as they eye a deep playoff run. One of the names Utah is eyeing is Houston Rockets veteran Eric […]

Although Luka Doncic has accomplished a lot in his first seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, he still has not checked off a playoff series win on his career checklist. This is no fault to the Mavs’ wunderkind, as he has shined during his two postseason experiences, both of which came against the LA Clippers. As […]

The Houston Rockets haven’t had much success this season, but that was to be expected given that they are still a young club with very few pieces who can truly assist contribute for them. Outside of them dealing Eric Gordon, the Rockets haven’t been connected to many moves as the trade deadline approaches. Gordon is […]

We are less than a week away from the 2022 NBA trade deadline and no significant moves have been made yet. This isn’t because every team is perfectly content with their situation, nor is it because of a shortage of sellers. More likely, it has to do with a league-wide freeze because of teams monitoring […]

With no clear timetable of when franchise star Zion Williamson could return, the New Orleans Pelicans are ready to make some moves to make their team better right now. The Pels currently have one of the worst records in the league at 19-32, therefore it’s no surprise they’re planning to be buyers at the February […]

All is well with the Phoenix Suns at the moment, save for some injuries to a few bench players. The Suns own the best record in the league and once again look like they can make a deep run in the playoffs. Still, Phoenix could use some upgrades to fortify the roster even further. According to […]

The Houston Rockets have the worst record in the Western Conference in the midst of their rebuild. They are 14-36 on the season, which will likely lead to another top draft pick. Their season is not predicated on their record but rather on the development of their young talent. The Rockets are filled with young […]
