Rockets: 3 trades to send Eric Gordon to the Pacers

On Friday, reports surfaced that the Houston Rockets had been in contact with the Indiana Pacers regarding a potential trade. The Pacers are reportedly looking for a veteran player that will help them in the immediate future and are willing to get rid of their 13th overall pick in this month’s NBA Draft to help them get there.

In the aftermath of this report, questions began to ensue about which player the Pacers could be seeking from the Rockets. The report is that the Pacers are seeking a player that could be under team control for multiple years, and not just a player that would be able to help them for one season.
