Rockets trade veteran Eric Gordon to Clippers, per source
Houston Rockets guard Garrison Mathews reacts after the Washington Wizards tied the game during the second half of a NBA basketball game at Toyota Center on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023 in Houston. Houston Rockets lost 108-103 to the Washington Wizards.The last Rockets tie to their seasons as a championship contender has moved on.
The Rockets will receive a pick swap in the deal, allowing them to exchange the Milwaukee Bucks’ pick they have in this season’s draft for the Clippers’ pick. That would move the Rockets up 18 spots to 18th in the draft if the standings stay unchanged. Gordon played seven of his 15 NBA seasons with the Rockets, averaging 15.7 points on 36 percent 3-point shooting. He was the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2016-17, the season in which he won the NBA 3-point contest, and was a key to their seasons chasing a championship before the rebuild began with the 2020-21 trade of James Harden.
Gordon has averaged 13.1 points on 43.9 percent shooting, 34.7 percent 3-point shooting, this season. But he has come on well since the start of the new year after he said after a loss on New Year’s Eve that the Rockets had not improved at all.In the past two seasons, the Rockets have gone 2-31 in games Gordon has missed. Since last season, he has started 94 of the 105 games he has played after coming off the bench in 149 of 275 games in his first five seasons with the Rockets.
