[Kimbell] Eric Gordon was averaging 13.1 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.1 rebounds for the Rockets on 57.2% TS. Since becoming the new starter after the trade, KJ Martin is averaging 15.4 points, 1.8 assists, and 5.8 rebounds on 62.5% TS. Love EG but this was long overdue.

Not that it really matters since this is as tanky a team as it gets, but the value that Eric Gordon brings to the team has a lot to do with defense. As in he is one of the only few players who actually knows how to play defense (Tari Eason does too but that’s more athleticism than technical know-how).
Every time I check the box score I’m surprised at how much KJ has scored. He deserves a nice contract. Idk if we’re going to end up being the ones to give it to him but he deserves it. The power of year 3 I suppose
If KJ can get a dribble package and a go-to move. Man….
Last season around the trade deadline would’ve been the right time in my opinion.
