Aaron Gordon Traded to Denver Nuggets
Major Deal Shakes Up NBA Landscape
Orlando Magic and Denver Nuggets Swap Players and Picks
The Orlando Magic have traded forward Aaron Gordon to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guards Gary Harris and R.J. Hampton, as well as a future first-round pick. The deal was announced on April 15, 2021, and is expected to have a significant impact on both teams' playoff hopes. Gordon, who has averaged 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game this season, will provide the Nuggets with a much-needed boost on the wing. His athleticism and defensive versatility should make him a valuable addition to Denver's rotation. Harris, a two-time All-Defensive Team selection, is a solid perimeter defender and shooter. He will give the Magic a reliable option at shooting guard, alongside Markelle Fultz and Terrence Ross. Hampton, who was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is a promising young player with a lot of upside. He could develop into a valuable contributor for the Magic in the years to come. The trade is a win-win for both teams. The Nuggets get a talented player in Gordon who can help them in their quest for a championship. The Magic get a good return for Gordon, including a valuable young player and a future first-round pick, which should help them in their rebuilding process.
