Eric Gordon, Houston Rockets
One combo guard that the Lakers could pursue in the next few weeks before the start of the season is Eric Gordon.
As his role has diminished for the Houston Rockets, Gordon could be looking for a change of scenery and it would probably be best for both parties. Gordon is still a valuable player in this league, even more so if he’s in a more defined role. And that would certainly be the case for the Lakers next to LeBron and AD.
Gordon has already been linked to the Lakers in the past and it wouldn’t really be surprising if they completed a trade for the veteran before the season starts – especially if some of their other trade discussions fall through.
