    Eric Gordon was just waived by the Clippers. Who out there would like him back for the vet minimum to help raise these kids while coming off the bench?

    We all know there needs to be somebody who can shoot on the team to help guide these guys.

    I wonder how Eric would do in that role seeing as he's never had an opportunity to do it?

    No. He doesn't make a difference. He doesn't give af about being some veteran influence and suffered for the last 3 years. makes 0 sense on either side

    he's going to some playoff team anyway

    But with how the Rockets are throwing money at “mid” veterans he might like some of that veteran affluence.

    not at this point of his career. he made enough of it suffering the last 3 years for a shitty team already

    there's going to be plenty of good teams looking to add EG

    Eric Gordon would likely rather go to the proctologist than have to listen to Raffy Stone tell him what a mentor he is to KPJ.

    Not the time. If he wants to come back in a couple years on his farewell tour I think he was an important enough Rocket for that, but he needs to go to a contender, he has no leadership to offer and no minutes for him in the rotation.

    No need for Gordon, we're getting a true leader at the SF position in Dillon Brooks - a perfect example for our young team.

    Too much ego
    He already was mentoring these kids
    He wasn’t having fun
