A new report suggests that a number of rival organizations are interested in trading for Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon amid the team’s continued struggles in the Eastern Conference.
As cited by NBC Sports, Shams Charania of subscriber-only publication The Athletic reported on Friday that the Magic, who improved to a 5-7 record after their 111-109 win over the San Antonio Spurs that night, are “working to turn the corner” early in the 2019-20 campaign. As such, the team reportedly doesn’t have any plans to ship Gordon to another team, though as Charania stressed, there are “multiple” teams that are keeping a close eye on the 24-year-old forward in case an opportunity for a midseason trade arises. Gordon is currently in the second year of the four-year, $ 76 million contract he signed with Orlando in the summer of 2018.
