    Imagine a world where it is the year 2028...and somehow Eric Gordon is still a Rocket.

    Well I guess we'll appreciate him for longer.

    I feel more bad for EG in this case. At his point in his career he probably wishes he was playing more meaningful games with playoff and championship aspirations.

    good news is EGO's plantar fasciitis probably has cleared up nicely and he'll be back in the lineup tonight against the Raptors ;)

    Last year they shut him down with a fake injury, I would not be surprised if they do that with the rest of this year too....

    I appreciate the Rockets trying to keep positive veteran leadership in a young locker room.

    They’re tried to get a deal done and failed. They failed the the youngsters, Gordon, and the fans. They can spin it however they want.

    That's why I feel more bad about it in terms of EG's feelings on the matter. I have no issue with him staying here for the rest of the season. The young guys need solid veteran presence. No offense to Wood, but EG is by far the superior veteran presence on this team as he has much higher offensive and defensive awareness and is just generally more mature.

    well at least he’s less likely to get hurt in the offseason.

    I would agree with this, until the "Gordon sidelined for 3 months with an oblique strain" inevitably happens.
