Houston Rockets Receive: G Eric Bledsoe, 2025 First-Round Pick (MIL via POR)
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: G/F Eric Gordon
There’s a theme in this piece. Direction. Every NBA team has one, whether it’s apparent or not.
The Portland Trail Blazers have not kept theirs a secret. They intend on staying competitive. That was apparent from the moment they traded for Jerami Grant this summer. If they’re looking to continue strengthening their roster, they ought to give the Houston Rockets a call.
This deal has them flipping a veteran who, respectfully, looks like he’s out valuable NBA seasons. Eric Bledsoe had a good NBA career, but it’s evidently winding down.
Arguably, that’s partly because he was never a great shooter. As players age and their athleticism wanes, some skills hold up better than others.

Shooting is one of those skills, and it just so happens that Eric Gordon has it. If the Portland Trail Blazers want it, they should give the Rockets a call.
