Multiple teams will look to strengthen their ranks. Several stars will be up for grabs as struggling teams want to offload their veterans and recoup Draft picks, so we expect a lot of players to be on the move.

With the Houston Rockets giving up on the season already, veteran guard Eric Gordon might finally leave to join a championship contender. Here, we let you know about the three teams that could get him.

NBA Rumors: Potential Destinations For Eric Gordon

3. Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns had been one of the most dominant forces in the Western Conference over the past couple of seasons, but injuries and some alleged locker-room issues have taken a toll on that.

Monty Williams needs someone to fill in for Jae Crowder’s defense and shooting. With that in mind, they could target someone like Eric Gordon, who’d provide some much-needed floor-spacing.

2. Milwaukee Bucks

People continue to sleep on the Milwaukee Bucks. But Mike Budenholzer’s team is still one of the most consistent in the Eastern Conference, and a perennial threat to knock contenders out in the playoffs.

But Khris Middleton has been out with an injury, and the Bucks desperately crave someone who could stretch the floor with his sharpshooting skills. That’s where Eric Gordon comes in handy.

1. Los Angeles Lakers

And last but not least, we find the Los Angeles Lakers at the top of this list. They’ve struggled to get three-point shots to fall, and he’s been tied with a move to Crypto.com Arena for a couple of seasons now.

Lakers GM Rob Pelinka claimed that he’s not done making moves after trading for Rui Hachimura last week. Matching Gordon’s salary could be a tricky task, but they have enough assets to pull it off.

The Greek Freak is eligible to sign the largest contract extension in the history of the Association. And even though he’s stated that he’s eager to build a winning culture in Milwaukee, some people believe he’s getting ready to pack his bags and leave.

Also, the fact that he’s yet to commit and sign that supermax contract extension has raised some doubts regarding his true intentions. Naturally, the media was all over him during the Bucks’ first couple of practices to try and get an answer out of him.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Says He’s Not Thinking About His Contract

But in pure Giannis Antetokounmpo fashion, the reigning MVP and Defensive Player of the Year shook off those questions and didn’t actually gave an answer. If anything, he only made things blurrier:

“Right now, I am not focused on that. I am just trying to focus on myself. (…) I’m not going to lie to you, I’m not the type of player that talks to his agent five times a week. (…) Obviously, I care about it (the contract). It’s a very big decision. One of the biggest decisions I’m going to make,” Giannis told the media.

Obviously, that doesn’t mean that Giannis is intending to leave the Milwaukee Bucks. If anything, he could be putting more pressure on the front office and coaching staff to prove to him that they have what it takes to compete at the highest level.

The Bucks have dominated their way through the regular season in back-to-back years but have underperformed when it mattered the most. That’s why there’s likely to be some frustration from the Greek Freak and why he wants to take his time before making a career-defining decision.

Should Giannis decide that he’s poised to leave, the Bucks must find him a trade partner right away instead of risking losing him for nothing. For now, it seems like we’ll just have to wait and see how this pans out.
