The Rockets will not play the playoffs this season, and teams are interested in their workforce. So the Heat would have their sights on Christian Wood, while others would inquire about Daniel Theis, David Nwaba, DJ Augustin and of course Eric Gordon. The latter is used to seeing his name appear in rumors, but according to The Athletic, the Rockets do not want to part with it.
For now, they have refused all offers concerning him. Unless an offer cannot be refused, Eric Gordon will end the season at the Rockets where his professionalism is very much appreciated to supervise the bottle class.
As for John Wall, his contract is still just as “toxic” and even if he would like to play again, management prefers to give playing time to Kevin Porter Jr, who is increasingly comfortable as a playmaker. Wall in the loop especially as he will not agree to be an understudy and play twenty minutes.
The former Wizards point guard needs to play to attract envy, and according to our colleagues, a franchise could be tempted. It is the Clippers who would have a “sincere interest” for the player, to use the expression of The Athletic.
Deprived of the Leonard-George pair for several weeks and even several months, Tyronn Lue trusts Reggie Jackson and Eric Bledsoe to direct the game, and Nicolas Batum to be the “glue guy”. On paper, John Wall does not really appear as an “added value”, especially since he has not played for several months. Without forgetting this famous contract: nearly 92 million over two years!
