This offseason, the Houston Rockets will be looking to expand on their rebuilding process not just by adding more young talents to their roster through the NBA Draft, but by leveraging some of their veteran players as well. Trading John Wall will be tough for the Rockets to do since he is owed $91.6M over the next two seasons, but guys like D.J. Augustin, Avery Bradley (team option) and Eric Gordon could very well be on the move.

Eric Gordon is an intriguing name to talk about in regards to offseason trade rumors around the NBA because everywhere he has played over the course of his 13-year NBA career, he has found success and carved out a role for himself.

He has not only averaged double-figure scoring every season of his career, but he has averaged 16.6 points and has shot 36.8% from three-point range over the course of his career, making Eric Gordon a valuable trade asset for various playoff contending teams.

After making the NBA Finals, the Phoenix Suns were on the verge of winning their first championship ever, going up 2-0 over the Milwaukee Bucks, but they seemed to run out of steam and they lost this series 4-2, thus also ending their hopes to win a championship.
