Houston Rockets, Eric Gordon, Miami Heat, NBA Rumors

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Eric Gordon

Houston Rockets Receive: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jared Dudley, 2023 2nd Round Pick

Eric Gordon would be the only player going to the Los Angeles Lakers in this NBA trade deadline scenario, even though PJ Tucker would also be a strong fit. This would help LeBron James when he gets to the basket because he has always liked to have shooters on the outside.

The Lakers are full of assets they would be able to send back in the form of young players and draft picks, even after the Anthony Davis trade. Los Angeles wouldn’t have to use a ton to get something done for Eric Gordon.

Here, because of Eric Gordon’s current situation, the Lakers will be able to hold onto some of their main trade assets. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Jared Dudley would be the two names going to Houston. The Rockets would also get a second-round pick in 2023.
