Trade target: Eric Gordon, G, Houston Rockets

The Golden State Warriors have yet to hit their stride so far this season but this is a team that is likely going to make a run in the second half of the season. If they can get healthy over the next few weeks, it really wouldn’t be surprising if they finished as a top 3 seed in the Western Conference.

With how wide open the conference is, the Warriors should be on everyone’s radar moving forward. And if they make a move at the NBA Trade Deadline, it would only add to this team’s prowess as a potential contender.

One player that they could potentially target is Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon. The Warriors are reportedly interested in adding shooting and big at the deadline. If they don’t add both, I would imagine that they probably prioritize shooting.
