(SportsRadio 610) - After seven seasons with the Rockets, Eric Gordon has a new team.
The Rockets' biggest roster shakeup ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline was sending Gordon to the Los Angeles Clippers in a multi-team deal. Houston also dealt veteran guard Garrison Mathews and center Bruno Fernando to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Justin Holiday, Frank Kaminsky and two second-round picks.
Gordon was a key member of some of the best teams in Rockets franchise history, making the postseason in five of his first six seasons in Houston, including the 2018 Western Conference Finals.
He averaged 15.7 points and shot 36 percent from 3 over his seven seasons with the Rockets. On Wednesday night, just hours before the trade deadline in a lost at home to the Sacramento Kings, Gordon passed Chauncey Billups for 21st on the NBA's all-time 3-point list.
As part of the Gordon deal, Danny Green was traded to Houston from the Memphis Grizzlies, who also send three second-round picks to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers sent Luke Kennard to the Grizzlies.
John Wall was also traded back to the Rockets, who plan to waive him, according to The Athletic's Kelly Iko.
