Safely assuming the following players aren’t getting moved:
James Harden
Ben Simmons
Myles Turner
Harrison Barnes
Jerami Grant and Eric Gordon may be the best players left on the board. – 10:46 PM

Eric Gordon had hoped to be back in the 3-point contest. He’s not. Zach LaVine, Desmond Bane, Karl-Anthony Towns, Fred VanVleet, C.J. McCollum, Luke Kennard, Patty Mills, Trae Young get the nod. – 7:32 PM

Would you do this trade if you’re the Rockets?
To PHI: Eric Gordon
To HOU: Danny Green ($10M expiring), Georges Niang ($3.5M next year), rookie Jaden Springer and a 2022 PHI first (likely in the 21-27 range) – 1:12 PM

Rockets guard Eric Gordon is out vs. Pelicans. Daniel Theis is out for personal reasons. (Don’t speculate. You’ll be wrong.) – 12:53 PM

My expectations for the deadline:
I expect Eric Gordon to be traded. I’d be disappointed in the Rockets if he’s not.
I want Christian Wood to be traded, but I don’t expect it.
Theis, Nwaba or Augustin for expirings/2nds would be a bonus.
John Wall would take a LeBron miracle. – 10:22 PM

Suns, Jazz, Celtics, Timberwolves
One of these four teams should pluck Eric Gordon before Thursday’s deadline. I proposed the trades and explained why they should happen, but also why the trade is unlikely: audacy.com/sportsradio610… – 4:26 PM

Houston’s offense predictably completely collapsing without KPJ and Eric Gordon on the floor. Big minutes for Josh Christopher. – 7:26 PM

Cavs trading a protected first and two seconds along with an expiring contract for Caris LeVert takes a team with a need for Eric Gordon out of a potential mix. But it also might help set a price. Also, might signal Pacers are open for business to teams chasing one of their bigs. – 4:35 PM

More on this storyline
The Houston Rockets have told teams they have two different offers of a first-round pick for Eric Gordon. The issue is finding a team that won’t send back significant salary as Houston doesn’t want anything major on the books. Houston is also looking for a pick in the teens instead of a late first-rounder for Gordon. -via Action Network / February 6, 2022
For Rockets guard Eric Gordon and center Christian Wood, the highest-paid Rockets this side of the eager-to-be-traded John Wall, the challenge has been to hear their names and not think about the speculation that follows. “I don’t even worry about it,” said Gordon, who has been traded once in his 14 NBA seasons. “I just go out there and play basketball. You always hear about different rumors. (Rumors) are going to happen. I know what kind of value I have. This team also knows what kind of value I have. I just go out there and play. I play to do well. Whether it’s here or elsewhere, it’s what I plan on doing.” -via Houston Chronicle / February 6, 2022
When asked if he would like to join a contender, Gordon said, “I’ve always wanted to win here. That’s what I always wanted. Of course, we’re going through a rebuilding. I’m just here to play and worry about what we’re doing here.” -via Houston Chronicle / February 6, 2022
