The Sixers made a quality trade during the 2022 NBA Draft by sending Danny Green and their 23rd overall pick to the Grizzlies for De’Anthony Melton, and they’re not done exploring their trade options yet.
According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Sixers are still interested in pursuing Rockets guard Eric Gordon. “Sources say Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey is still trying to acquire Gordon despite being unsuccessful on Thursday night,” per Pompey.
Gordon would certainly help the Sixers. He’s a capable guard defender when engaged, a strong driver who’d add some extra scoring juice attacking downhill, and a high-volume three-point shooter with the kind of quick trigger that would complement the Sixers’ stars when operating off the ball.
