After the Rockets played with the children for more than two years, the round face-Eric Gordon-finally had a chance to go to a strong team and pursue the championship ring.
The Rockets could give him this opportunity before the middle of February, just sending him to a strong team, just like what they did to Tucker at the beginning. At that time, Tucker was 35 years old, so he couldn’t delay the old comrade if he wanted to rebuild. At that time, Gordon was only 32 years old, and he was almost left as a nanny.
In a few days, on Christmas Day, Gordon will be 34 years old, and he will become an old comrade who can no longer be delayed. In Houston, the core structure of the rockets has been built. Xiao PROTONIC, Jay Green and Jamari Smith are all young and promising, leaving fewer and fewer performance opportunities for round face.
At this time of year, there will be a lot of phone calls to listen and ask Gordon if he can change. These phone calls are declined every year. But the situation may be different this year. If you really think about Gordon, give him a way out.
In this year’s trading market, you can’t hear any big names, so Gordon is not famous in it: Bojan Bogdanovic, ubray, Gary Harris, Terence rose, PJ Washington, Pertel, Burks, Josh Richard…… Eric Gordon.
In this trendy three-pointer era, Gordon, who is about to be 34 years old, is not outdated at all, and even has a great use value, because three-pointer is his strong point. In his 14-year career, three-point shot percentage averaged 37 percent, and in the Pelican team for one year even nearly 45 percent, which was still the hit rate after more than five shots per game.
In recent years, Gordon’s three-point hit rate has fluctuated greatly, exceeding 41% last season and only this season. When Harden was around, Gordon could concentrate on three points, with an average of 89 shots for four consecutive seasons. Now it is much less, but there are also five or six times.
Compared with most three-point God pitchers, the characteristics of round face climbing are slightly different, that is, there are various means. He can be a good receive the ball three-point hand, or he can hold the ball and drive himself. When there is no point guard in the team, he can even play tactics with the core defender. As a defender with a height of only 190, he weighs 97 kilograms, which is a typical short guard and does not suffer from losses in defense.
As long as the rocket is willing to release, the round face will be very popular.
Gordon not only has 14 years of career history, but also has played 10 rounds of playoffs in 5 seasons. The total number of playoff games is 55. The farthest time he walked was to make a Western decision with Harden.
His contract type is also more favored by the receiver. In 2019, Gordon signed a contract with the rocket for 4 years and 75.6 million years, and this year is still in the third year. However, the contract stipulates that 20.92 million of the fourth year is not protected, which means that whoever owns his last year contract can dismiss him at any time without bearing the loss of breach of contract. Of course, Yogueta made a contribution to which team won the championship, and it would not be a loss in the last year of execution. 20 million is the floor price of an excellent defender.
Gordon is not the kind of person who can scare you by entering more than a dozen three points in a single game. In more than ten years, there have been at most a few games that have entered 8, which is really not superb works. The time when he was the highest light in downtown was the All-Star weekend in New Orleans in 2017. He fought against Thompson, Owen, mccolum, Lowry, kenba Walker and other masters, and finally won the championship in the three-point competition.
But even if the rockets are really released, there are still many uncertain factors about whether Gordon has the luck to enter a strong team that has the chance to win the championship. First, it depends on who pursues him, and second, it depends on who the rocket is willing to give him.
Generally speaking, the three-pointer level of several strong teams is not bad now. Nuggets, 76 people and Celts occupy 3 of the top five three-point shot percentage, from sixth to ninth are Sun, basketable nets, knight and Pelican. From the middle reaches, there are strong teams such as mavericks, grizzly bears, Bucks and heat, all of which are not excellent at 35%, especially the heat, which is only. However, the Heat took the rocket that day and scored 10 three points Croal. Only Gordon could respond, and he entered 4.
In theory, the strong team who wants Gordon will be one of the middle games after the three-point shooting rate, but the two most enthusiastic ones are the Lakers and New York Nick.
Nick has won 8 consecutive victories recently and has already entered the top six in the east, but their three-point shot percentage ranks the fourth from the bottom, especially the veteran with three points ability. It is said that they are willing to send out the veteran Ross, scorer, reddish and quikley, but the Rockets are not interested.
There is only one reason why the Lakers want Gordon. They are the worst three-point team in NBA and the only Iron team that scored less than 10 three-point goals per game. But few of the Lakers can take the shot, and the only two distant first-round signatures are still tight.
The purpose of the rocket is to maximize the value with Gordon. Even if he is gone, he will leave a selection right, preferably in the first round.
Most strong teams don’t have any first-round signing unless they take out their own one next summer. However, the Rockets should not be signed in the first round next year, because general Shi already has three in his hand, one is his own, and the other two are from Bucks and basketable nets. Others will be relatively backward, which is of little significance, because there are too many young rockets. Unless a third party joins, the rocket can get a relatively high sign next year.
Shi Zong’s wishful thinking is to leave a foreshadowing for the future, such as a 2025, or even a 2027 or 2029, which is why the Lakers will be involved in rumors. However, Gordon’s level obviously cannot meet the requirements of the Lakers. Once they are determined to sell the first round of signing, they must be for an all-star player.
Fortunately, the Rockets are still patient, because they have no clear record goal this season. If there is one, it is Wen banyama. Now the Rockets have only won 9 games, which is still very competitive.
Round face Deng is very dedicated and professional. He is not in a hurry. He has been here for more than two years and is not here for two days. This kind of mentality helps the rocket to find his next home patiently. It is most like Tucker, and it can be done directly.
