Just how does one preview Eric Gordon’s upcoming season? How much longer is he a Rocket?
There are two obvious tracks for Gordon. One, he plays for the Rockets, all or a large part of the year. Two, he gets traded. Those tracks diverge a bit more, and merge a bit in certain ways.
It’s fair to think the Rockets would like to get Eric Gordon playing time to, as many have said, “showcase” him for a trade. It’s also fair to think the Rockets want to risk a Gordon injury as little as possible to do so.
