Rockets talking Eric Gordon trade with half a dozen teams
There have been preliminary talks with roughly a half dozen teams, a person with knowledge of the situation said. Gordon is expected to be among the top targets for contenders (such as the Suns, who played the Rockets on Tuesday) looking for help to get over the top. Gordon’s ability to catch-and-shoot with range, to defend at a variety of positions, and to defer to other stars all make him an easy fit for already well-positioned teams.

No Devin Booker and his replacement, Landry Shamet is 1-of-6 from the field. Chris Paul might carry Eric Gordon on the plane after the game – 8:54 PM

I can’t even remember a trade deadline where Eric Gordon, Terrence Ross and John Collins weren’t on the block. Must have happened in the 90s but impossible to recall at this point. – 12:08 PM

More on this storyline
Eric Gordon was one of the early targets for New York, sources said, although clearly no deal came to fruition. The Rockets appear to be in little rush to move their veteran swingman for whom Houston has held a steadfast asking price of a first-round pick, sources said, for several straight transaction cycles. -via Yahoo! Sports / December 15, 2022
The Rockets would primarily want a first-round pick, but since they are likely to be dealing with teams considered contenders, they would seek a pick improved either by having it come in future seasons or via another team. As was the case during last season’s trade talks, the Rockets have two first-round picks in the next draft and are not eager to add a third, especially having chosen many players in the past two drafts. -via Houston Chronicle / December 15, 2022
Forward KJ Martin has also hoped to be moved to a team that can give him a more significant role. His minutes have climbed in Houston this season, but multiple sources believe he still wants out. Since both players have team-favorable contracts (Gordon has one more season, but it’s at a non-guaranteed $20.9 million; Martin has a team option at $1.9 million) and are viable on-court contributors, the Rockets won’t make a deal they don’t like. The Suns have tried to acquire both, using whatever return they can get for Crowder as compensation. To date, that hasn’t been enough for Houston. Martin has fans throughout the league, given his age (21), but it remains to be seen if teams will be generous enough to get the Rockets to act. -via Bleacher Report / December 14, 2022
