Aaron Gordon Traded to Denver Nuggets
Orlando Magic Part Ways with Forward
Nuggets Acquire Gordon in Blockbuster Deal
The Orlando Magic have traded forward Aaron Gordon to the Denver Nuggets in a blockbuster deal that sent shockwaves through the NBA. The move, which was announced on Thursday, March 25, 2021, sees Gordon join a Nuggets team that is vying for a deep playoff run.
Gordon, a 25-year-old forward, is averaging 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game this season. He has been a key part of the Magic's success over the past few years, helping them reach the playoffs in 2019 and 2020.
The Nuggets, meanwhile, are looking to add depth to their frontcourt as they make a push for the NBA championship. Gordon gives them a versatile player who can contribute in multiple ways on both ends of the court.
In return for Gordon, the Magic received Gary Harris, R.J. Hampton, and a future first-round pick. Harris is a veteran guard who provides the Magic with a solid defender and outside shooting threat. Hampton, meanwhile, is a promising young player who has shown flashes of his potential this season.
The trade is a significant move for both teams, and it will be interesting to see how it impacts their respective seasons. The Magic are hoping to rebuild around their young core, while the Nuggets are looking to take the next step and win their first NBA championship.
