Detroit Pistons Receive: G Eric Gordon, F Jae’Sean Tate, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIL)
Houston Rockets Receive: F Jerami Grant

Effectively, this deal is Jae’Sean Tate, an expiring contract, and a first-rounder for Grant. Consider Eric Gordon a casualty of contract matching.

Saying goodbye to the veteran won’t be easy for the Rockets. Gordon has seen a lot with this club. He was on the team throughout most of the storied Harden era, and he was a valuable contributor to boot.

Still, he feels like a relic of a bygone era with this group.

The Rockets will be focusing on Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, and whoever they select with the third overall pick in 2022-23 (and if they make this deal, Grant).

Gordon, outside of veteran mentorship, has outgrown his usefulness here. Of course, the Pistons are also rebuilding, so they may feel similarly. They’re not making this deal to benefit from Gordon’s wealth of experience.

Let’s take a deeper look at why they are making this deal.
