Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal
As a matter of fact, this is a similarly humorous development for the Rockets.
The team has remained firm in its request for a first-round pick as a trade-in compensation for Gordon. At this point, it doesn’t seem likely that they will receive the return they expect. In addition to being an expensive veteran, Gordon is also aging. This is a deal that is more realistic than most others.
The Rockets should still take it. For starters, Jones would be an excellent backup big man for this team in case of an injury. Currently, the team does not have a rim protector of his caliber on its roster. It would be worthwhile for them to take a look at Christie as well.
As for Houston, on the other hand, the main draw of this game might be the possibility of a reunion with Beverley.

Kevin Porter Jr. has been a victim of poor point guard play for the past few seasons, and Beverley may be exactly the type of veteran that this team would benefit from having.
Undoubtedly, everyone needs a mentor at some point in their lives.
