Eric Gordon has been a staple with the Houston Rockets over the past two years after signing a deal in the summer of 2016. He has been the sixth man for the team and has been able to step in flawlessly to the starting lineup when needed.
He’s also been in the news quite a bit this offseason. The idea of signing Gordon to an extension was thrown around near the beginning of the summer. He’s also been involved in Jimmy Butler trade talks as a central piece to the deal should it happen. Most recently, though, he appears to be the favorite for the starting small forward job for the upcoming season.
