As trade rumors continue to circulate around 14-year vet, Eric Gordon, the question of “who will be the old head on the Houston Rockets?” starts to percolate. Gordon may very well still be on the roster come opening night, but in the case he isn’t, it’s important that Houston finds room to keep some experience on the end of the bench.
For a team that has relied heavily on rebuilding through the draft, the Rockets will likely find themselves with 10-12 players on the roster that are either 25 or younger when the season starts.
