— The Magic are open to taking calls on Gordon, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Shams said that the Timberwolves and Blazers are among the teams to show interest. We heard rumblings of the AG-to-the-Wolves chatter earlier this season, and Gordon has been linked to the Blazers in previous years so nothing new there.

— The Rockets, Mavericks, Nuggets and Warriors expressed interest in Gordon dating back to the draft, per Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report.

— The Magic were close to an agreement that would have sent Gordon to the Wolves for Ricky Rubio and future draft picks, per Fischer.

— Before acquiring James Harden, the Nets offered either Spencer Dinwiddie or Caris LeVert for Gordon, but the Magic “were seeking a higher draft asset that the Nets were able to secure,” Fischer reported.

— A Denver deal would center around Bol Bol, and a Mavericks deal around Dwight Powell, per Fischer. These two players make zero sense for the Magic so what exactly would be included?

— The Pelicans are high on Gordon, per Fischer.

— The Rockets wanted to net Gordon in the multi-team trade that sent James Harden to Brooklyn and instead brought Victor Oladipo to Houston, asking teams to engage the Magic, per Fischer.

— The Rockets still want to flip free-agent-to-be Oladipo in a trade that brings them Gordon, per Fischer.










If we really passed on LeVert somebody should get fired



Yeah I’d have done that LeVert trade but nothing else looks like a deal I’d do. The Rubio deal makes no sense at all at this point in time.

There was a lot of debate about Levert but I always thought he was a great value...I do NOT understand this Rubio stuff at all except that MIN is ready to be rid of him and his deal...I'd take him back in a bigger deal but that's not a guy I'm hunting...I'd be happy to have him on roster, but that's it.

He does but he also has some concerns. Injuries being one, his inefficiency 2nd and his lack of showing desire to play defense another so I get why they thought twice.

Yeah I think that Rubio deal makes no sense at alll for us unless you think Fultz isn’t coming back fir quite some time. At this point though, makes zero sense if that’s the case or not.

Minny can do better.

How dare you? Don't you know he is just 22 and his stats are same as Kawhi and George at that age but he showed more and we should build around him? Now those people tell you that we need to trade Vuc so we can build around Fultz and Isaac.... Go figure.


Good knowing your own player, AG is 25yo :lol:

I feel like there's a zero percent chance Golden State would do this, but I certainly would.

Then take the deal away because that’s the most valuable piece.

Yea... This isn't the return that Golden State would be looking for with Wiseman+Minny pick. They'd be looking at getting a legit all-star Beal level player.

i) Orlando needs a PG (but an expiring one would be better than Rubio).
ii) A salary must match Gordon, and Rubio will be at the centre of that.
iii) it is the other assets game that determine the value of the return. In this instance "multiple other picks"; if that includes even a single FRP "eventually" from the baby-wolves, this is a good trade for Orlando.

Actually, how about this: Wiggins + Oubre + Paschall + Minny’s 2021 FRP for Gordon + Fournier + Bamba?

I'd do it, because it would balance out our team more. I've also thought Fournier would flourish playing with Curry.

Actually, GSW board is saying Gordon's not really that good, lol. So, taking the Minny Pick back and just straight trade with players involved. Yeah?

Three-way trade with Houston and Miami, sending Oladipo to Miami and AG to Houston and Tyler Herro to Orlando.

Return to Orlando Magic
