After trading Christian Wood to Dallas, now Houston is trying to find a deal for Eric Gordon, with the Rockets widely known to be seeking a first-round pick for Gordon like they managed in the Wood deal. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 18, 2022
Keith Smith: Per a league source, Trey Burke has exercised his 2022-23 player option. This will clear the road for Dallas and Houston to finalize the Christian Wood trade as soon as draft night after the Mavs pick at #26. Deal has to wait until Mavs actually pick because of Stepien Rule. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / June 18, 2022
