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.
