Suns interested in Eric Gordon?

Phoenix has maintained its efforts to move Dario Saric, and it appears the Suns are searching for an upgrade to their wing rotation. Eric Gordon has been linked by league personnel as a possible target, as he and Chris Paul shared a successful stint in Houston. Of note with Gordon here: The veteran guard’s contract becomes fully guaranteed for 2023-24 if his team wins the championship and Gordon reaches a minutes requirement.

It’s February, so screw it, let’s make some trade deadline predictions.
Won’t get traded: Ben Simmons, Jerami Grant, Harrison Barnes, any notable Pacers.
Will get traded: C.J. McCollum (Pelicans), Eric Gordon (Cavs), John Collins (destination unclear), Kenrich Williams (Bulls). – 2:28 PM

The best way to get back at the Warriors this season is to trade Eric Gordon to Phoenix. – 10:58 AM

Much has been made of Jalen Green struggles shooting 3s. Eric Gordon has made 1 of 18 3s from one Golden State game to the other. He’s such a good teammate, obviously trying to make the rookie feel better. It can happen to anyone. – 9:29 PM

I feel like Eric Gordon is trying to scare teams off from trading for him with the way he’s been playing the last week or so – 9:26 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets desperately need Eric Gordon to find his shooting touch. Has missed all 14 3s in past 3 1/2 games (0 for 4 on 3s tonight.) He’s averaging 19.4 points in wins, 11.9 in losses. – 8:58 PM

It’s a trade deadline bonanza on @EmpireOfTheSuns.
We’ve got a 3-part series coming that highlights a few different needs and some targets the Suns should consider.
Up first, I present the many different reasons why Eric Gordon makes so much sense: arizonasports.com/story/2993903/…8:52 PM

#Rockets back to their normal starters:
Jalen Green, KPJ, Eric Gordon, Jae’Sean Tate and Christian Wood – 7:37 PM

More on this storyline

Eric Gordon would seem to be the Rockets’ most valuable trade asset, other than the first-round picks that would take a legitimate star talent to pry loose. At 33, Gordon would seem to be on a different timetable from a core crowded with teenagers. Though talks so far have been at most exploratory, offers could come later. The Rockets would have to determine not just how they feel about the deals that might be available but how they compare offers to what they believe they could get before the draft or in the offseason. -via Houston Chronicle / January 26, 2022
Eric Gordon’s value hasn’t been this high in years after he’s had multiple injury-plagued seasons. The Cavaliers have kept tabs on Gordon, Caris LeVert, Terrence Ross, among shooting guards on the trade market, I’ve heard. -via HoopsHype / January 26, 2022
