What future for Eric Gordon ? At 33, the rear does not fit into the plans of the Houston Rockets in the long term with a reconstruction project. Thus, the former New Orleans Pelicans player has been the subject of many rumors in recent months.
Because with his profile, the Indianapolis native arouses the interest of many contenders for the NBA title. And precisely, for his part, Gordon wishes to obtain assurances about his future. Despite a contract until 2024, his salary, estimated at $ 20.9 million in 2023-2024, is absolutely not guaranteed.
Thus, according to information from The Athletic journalist Kelly Iko, Gordon wants a clear decision from the Rockets: either a long-term extension to end his career in Houston, or a trade to join a cador.
Obviously, the Texans have no reason to rush on this file. With his CV, he represents a real asset in relation to the market. And over the weeks, especially as the February deadline approaches, its value could rise further.
Some teams in difficulty could even raise the stakes. A strategy that could force Eric Gordon to wait before packing his bags.
