Aaron Gordon Traded to the Denver Nuggets

Trade Details

The Orlando Magic have traded forward Aaron Gordon to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Gary Harris, forward Hampton, and a future first-round pick. The trade was agreed upon on March 25, 2021.

Gordon's Performance this Season

Gordon has been averaging 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game over 25 games this season. He has been a key contributor for the Magic, providing them with athleticism, defense, and leadership.

Nuggets' Acquisition of Gordon

The Nuggets have been looking to add more depth to their wing position, and Gordon fills that need. He is a versatile player who can play both forward positions and contribute in a variety of ways.

Magic's Return in the Trade

In return for Gordon, the Magic receive Harris, Hampton, and a future first-round pick. Harris is a veteran guard who has averaged 12.3 points per game over his career. Hampton is a young forward with potential, and the future first-round pick gives the Magic a chance to add another talented player to their roster.

Impact on Both Teams

The trade is a win-win for both teams. The Nuggets get a talented player who can help them compete for a championship, while the Magic get a solid return for a player who was unhappy with his role in Orlando. Both teams should be better off in the long run.
