As Thursday’s NBA trade deadline nears, there is a growing amount of speculation and educated guesses surrounding many players on the Houston Rockets — headlined by Christian Wood and Eric Gordon.
With Caris LeVert and CJ McCollum already traded, Gordon may now be the most attractive wing option (among realistically available candidates) for title contenders to add as they look to bolster their teams for the 2022 playoffs. Meanwhile, with Indiana trading Domantas Sabonis and potentially keeping Myles Turner, that could make Wood more desirable for teams needing bigs. This is how crazy it often gets at the deadline.
