The average game is 13+2+2! The old rocket will complain about the sun? The two-year contract is bound by a two-year contract, and it is difficult to return to the space city
Former Rockets guard Eric Gordon seems to have regretted signing to the Suns on a two-year, $6 million contract this summer, and in the previous Suns' away loss to the Kings, Gordon also complained directly to reporters that he wants to get more balls and also hopes to play more roles in the game. Despite being a 35-year-old veteran, Gordon is still one of the best shooters in the NBA, not only as a shooting guard and small forward, but also as a point guard on certain occasions.
The Rockets' double-boarding combination (Harden + Gordon) was famous. This summer, originally Gordon meant to sign with the Suns with a base salary, because the Suns have Durant, Beal and Booker, Gordon can lie down to win the championship, and then retire, but I didn't expect that the current Suns' Big Three are basically stop-and-go, but it makes Gordon the main backcourt of the Suns. Gordon has appeared in 24 games for the Suns this season, averaging 13.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31.5 minutes per game, as well as 0.5 blocks and one steal, and his three-point shooting percentage is 39%, making him one of the Suns' best outside shooters.
Unexpectedly, Gordon, a shooter who originally wanted to hug his thighs and lie down to win the championship, became one of the main players in the backcourt when he arrived at the Suns. Gordon doesn't have much ball in the Suns, but Gordon was one of the cores of the backcourt in the Rockets last season, and his role in the Rockets is no worse than that of Porter Jr. and Jalen Green last season, but the Rockets traded Gordon cheaply and sent him to the Clippers in order to give Gordon freedom and let him chase the championship dream.
It seems that Gordon is also dissatisfied with his role in the Suns, and NBA reporter Binckley said that the current Eric Gordon is very suitable for the Rockets this season, and he will have more opportunities to touch the ball when he plays for the Rockets, becoming the 6th or 7th man on the Rockets' bench, so patience is also a plus. The implication is that in the eyes of this celebrity, Gordon's departure from the Rockets seemed too hasty, as long as he can endure it for another half a year, then the Rockets must have Gordon's opportunity and tactical position in the current situation.
Don't look at the 35-year-old Gordon's age, but his form this season is no worse than his peak self. It can only be said that Gordon is the most suitable for the Rockets, but unfortunately he is now with the Suns, and this contract is fully guaranteed, and Gordon will have the opportunity to become a free agent and return to the Rockets after two years, but Gordon is already a 37-year-old veteran at that time, does the Rockets still need him?
If he had a choice, maybe Gordon knew the current situation, he might continue to stay with the Rockets, and wait until this season to play well under Udoka, the current Rockets' record and ranking are far better than the Suns, I don't know if Gordon has any regrets, and it will be difficult for the 37-year-old Gordon to return to the Rockets after two years. It can only be said that this is a huge regret, but if Gordon can keep his current form and is willing to accept the base salary in two years, then there may be a place for him in the Sky City.
