Add the New Orleans Pelicans, who are currently only two games back of the final play-in spot for the Western Conference playoffs, as a potential trade suitor for veteran Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon.
On Wednesday, Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report wrote that the Pelicans “have become repeatedly linked” to Gordon on the trade market. New Orleans has the majority of its future first-round draft capital available to trade, other than a protected pick potentially headed to Charlotte in 2022. That said, Houston general manager Rafael Stone is reportedly more interested in pick assets from future years, anyway.
