    Is the movement to bench Gordon for House still alive anywhere?

    Even though Gordon’s been relatively healthy the last three years, he’s still had some nagging injuries, he’s getting older, and he’s looked considerably less explosive this season attacking the basket. Meanwhile, his shooting remains streaky.

    I’m not against extending him at a reasonable price, but it might be smart to quit while we’re ahead.

    Really sucks we don't have a big enough contract to move outside of Gordon going forward, even if he's discontinuous and sometimes frustrating, he's a very good player, perfect for this team. Just imagine how great would be to have him and be able to add another good/great player.

    But in the end, all things considered, if there's a chance to get a guy like Butler i think you sacrifice Eric, just like you did by moving Pat and Lou for Chris.

    Check my history.... i have said this time and time again. Eric Gordon is the most important person on this team next to James Harden. X FACTOR.

    He can't be. He's already played for other teams

    I hope he's traded for a more consistent player this summer

    Has there ever been a greater dangling carrot that has played for the Rockets

    I respect him for what he has done on the court

    Agree, Gordon is rockets for life, 2nd most important player next to Harden. Tilman has 4 billion dollars, 4,000 million, it’s time for him to pay.

    Kyle Lowry age 32, 33, 34
    3year 90 million

    Milsap age 33, 34, 35
    3year 90 million
