Los Angeles Clippers Receive: PJ Tucker, Eric Gordon
Houston Rockets Receive: Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Patrick Patterson
PJ Tucker and Eric Gordon are two valuable players but have worn out their time with the Houston Rockets. If they were sent to the Los Angeles Clippers, their value would be taken up a notch.
It’s important for a contender like the Clippers to surround their star plays with as much complementary talent as possible. Both Tucker and Gordon would thrive alongside Kawhi Leonard and Paul George as they look to win an NBA title.
The Rockets would acquire veterans such as Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams. They are on team-friendly contracts which makes this a low risk for the franchise. Patrick Patterson is another player that would change hands in this deal.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit both the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers.
