What do you think Aaron Gordon's market value is?

[DanishLakerFan]

Not in trade, but in free agency. What do you think the market sets his value at? Do you think a team gives him an offer sheet? What do you think it would take for Orlando not to match (or would they match anything)?

If no team gives him an offer sheet, what do you expect Orlando to sign him for?

It's tough to gauge, imo.

The market has stabilized and is saturated with big men and if he doesn't get an offer i think the Magic could resign him at a deal in the high teens - long-term deal in the 15-20M range, perhaps.

The fact that the Magic gauged his trade value before the deadline might suggest that might not be all that excited about matching all offers, which could make him available if a team is willing to overpay. Given that he's only 22, a good kid and hard worker, and has improved as a shooter i think he's one of the few RFAs this summer that certain teams would be willing to gamble on and overpay to aquire.

Not sure if Brooklyn wants to tank next season. If not i think Gordon would be an ideal player to go after - even at the max.
Depending on how the draft turns out i think he'd be a pretty good fit with teams such as the Mavs, Suns and Kings as well.

I think the dollar value of offers is almost irrelevant. The Magic have to match, right up to max. I expect the Magic to let it be known closer to the offseason that they will match any offer and, hopefully, deter those teams from tying up their cap space while Orlando waits until the last second to match. Possibly sign and trade, but no way Orl lets their ONE significant asset walk over money. I'm a season ticket holder and have mixed feelings on AG's value, but there would be mass abandonment in this already wishy-washy fanbase...just from business perspective, they need their highlight-maker. If no offers, They still pay him 20-22m/I'd guess. Worst scenario would be to scare off suitors AND piss off the player with a lowball offer and end up with a one year "I'm outta here" situation.

yes, and here is the thing with the fan base. the team has been horrible since Dwight left. But if they lived thru that and Dipo is gone, Hezonja might stay but is more than likely gone, and then Gordon is gone too? with a current rookie that looks like a great role player but not a star, the fan base would revolt and the new arena would be empty.

[DanishLakerFan]

I think he ultimately end up staying, but no-one is going to completely buy that the Magic will "match any offer" going into the offseason so they might have to match a lucrative deal. Which they should.

[Myth]

I say an average of $25M per year.

[basketballwacko2]

I think Gordon is among the top restricted FA in this years class however, the price it may take to get Orlando not to match is likely prohibitive. Personally, I think there isn't a price the Magic shouldn't pay for Gordon although they should let the market set his price since I think the max is an overpay (although a worthwhile one for a team who has let too much talent walk already and doesn't have much to show).

The pacers have been mentioned as a popular landing spot although I don't like it unless they deal Sabonis or Turner in another deal since I think Gordon is much stronger as a pf than sf. Jazz is another decent landing spot as far as a team he would fit in well for.

There is always the chance a team like Hawks or Kings could put an offer for him since Gordon is only 22 and is a marketable player with his high flying ability and vastly improved offensive game this year.

I think he gets upwards of 4yr 80 M since Gordon is not only one of top RFA but a top 10 FA and at 22 is much more attractive and available to more teams than older guys who only want to go to contenders.

I would like to put Gordon with Victor Oladipo, but as you say that means Sabonis is still a back up next season. It could work if the Pacers did a 3 man rotation at the 4/5 there's 96 minutes at the 2 positions or 32 min each.
It will take $22-24 million to get him and I'm betting Orlando matches any offer, maybe an S&T, but probably not.

If the Magic do resign him for say $22 million for 4 years they will be looking to get out of a contract or 2 like Ross, Biyombo or Vuc.

Max and match probably.

[OrlandoDream]

Orlando will try and sign him to a 5 year/100mil or something like that. Will give us flexibility and a chance to sign someone else if we can find a way to get rid of Biz and Vuc. If not, a he gets a max offer from an opposing club, Orlando will just match.

You can believe and read whatever rumors makes you feel happy, but Orlando will match any offer for AG. Took them 4 years to develop him into a serviceable 22yo 18/8 stud and now we are just gonna hand him up for free to another teen? No

You say that, but this is the Magic. They've done it before.

And that is called "Learning from your mistakes." Speculate all you want, Orlando is NOT letting Gordon walk. Anybody who has watched him this year knows this.

[Jody Smokz]

The max for him is around what 25M to boot? I don't see any of the teams with that kind of cap space this offseason offering that. Mavs, Lakers, Bulls, Suns? Mavs may be the one team to do it but 25M its a lot. You better be sure as a team he's going to keep getting better to do 25.
