    Ridiculous that Eric Gordon isn't on there and Carmelo is. Really feel its a matter of a short time before he asks for a trade publicly or will leave us for nothing next season.

    I think it is maybe because he is our big trade piece in a Butler deal and even if we don’t get Butler but that info leaks then it would be awkward.

    Eric Gordon hasn't signed an extension. If he's still a Rocket post-February trade deadline, he'll have plenty of time (until June 30, 2019) to do so.


    If he were to sign the max extension (see above), Morey could not trade him for 6 months. If he is traded to another team, Gordon cannot sign such an extension with that new team until 6 months after the trade.

    CBA FAQ # 95. Can a player be given an extension and traded at the same time?
    Similar to a sign-and-trade arrangement (see question number 92), a team may sign an eligible player to an extension (see question number 58) and immediately trade him to another team. Such an "extend-and-trade" is limited to three seasons, which include any seasons remaining on the player's current contract. The salary in the first season of the extension can have a 5% raise over the last season of the existing contract, and subsequent raises are limited to 5% of the salary in the first season of the extension. The 5% limit also applies to both likely and unlikely bonuses.

    A player cannot be traded in an extend-and-trade after the season (for example, on draft day) in the last season of his contract, or in any season that might be the last season due to an option or ETO.

    Since an extend-and-trade has greater limits than a regular extension (three seasons and 5% raises vs. four seasons and 8% raises), the rules prevent teams from circumventing these limits by extending and trading the player in separate transactions. If a team extends a player beyond the limits of an extend-and-trade (for example, if they sign a player to a four-year extension), they can't trade the player for six months. Conversely, a team cannot extend a player it receives in trade for six months, if the extension exceeds the limits of an extend-and-trade.

    Yeah, on Gordon, they have to keep him trade eligible until the trade deadline just in case.
