The 14-year veteran averaged 13.4 points and he shot 41.2% from deep during the 2021-22 season, and he did a lot of good things for the Rockets that he can bring to a contending team like the Sixers. However, Houston values the veteran and they did not like Philadelphia’s trade offer for him.
However, there are some obstacles that the Sixers will have to overcome in order to acquire Gordon and our friends at Rockets Wire helped out with how a trade can go down.
