He’s not moved in the next 5 minutes, it’s a failure. No, they don’t lose him but this was it. This was the the time. The time to trade him was in January, if not December. These GMs and waiting until deadline day to do their deals. Think Eric is gonna be healthy? (Again, right on cue, plantar fasciitis) Think he’ll play this well age 34/35 seasons? Stone/Silas: But but but Eric Gordon is a pro, veteran leader, someone we really like and someone we want to keep around this team/young guys. I don’t even know what the hell you’re doing or what the objective is. Yeah, we’re tanking/rebuilding/player development, but Green/Christopher/Sengun have to earn their minutes? We’re sitting veteran John Wall but playing veterans Eric Gordon, Christian Wood, Daniel Theis, DJ Augustin (and previously Danuel House). “No! No! No! They’re just showcasing these guys in the first half of the season! They’ll be gone!” … Except they’re all still here? Christian Wood, to a lesser extent. Again, you don’t lose him but he is a free agent after next year. Plan to extend/re-sign him? Plan to dump him next deadline for a top 55 protected 2nd? Plan to let him walk? God forbid they get lucky and get a top 3 pick…sorry Jabari/Chet/Paolo, gonna have to earn your minutes off the bench behind Christian Wood! We have a first round pick We have a first round pick We have a first round pick We have a first round pick Anyone who will listen: We have a first round pick Did I mention we have a first round pick Well actually we want a pick in the teens, the hell with your late first.
Schroder for Theis is a game-changer. All of you guys questioning Stone, it's time for you to apologize.
That’s exactly what’s going to happen. Gordon is going to help us win meaningless games losing out on a top draft pick when the Rockets desperately need a defensive big. The bigs are there for the taking and now we just destroyed that chance.
