2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

Gordon IMO is one of those guys who's value is at an all time low, but who I'm convinced is a candidate for a MIP type leap if moved to the right team. Perfect trade target to be had cheaper than what his actual talent level is. Isaac scares me almost as much as OPJ. He's way younger, but he's one of those guys who just looks injury prone by his body type alone.

The Mavs have had a long interest in Gordon. I remember when DSJ was doing his whole "sit-out" routine when Luka showed up, the Mavs had talks with the Magic revolving around a Gordon for DSJ swap. 

I've been on team Gordon for a LONG time too. Think he'd be the perfect blend of a 4 and small ball 5 that we are searching for with Powell. He's athletic enough to be a great help defender around the rim, and quick enough to guard any switches on the perimeter. A perfect running mate to a guy like KP, and similar mold to Maxi. 

Unfortunately, given Isaac's injury, I don't think the Magic are in any rush whatsoever to trade Gordon. I don't think THJ is enticing enough either. The Magic don't even have that many bad contracts outside of Vucevic. So unfortunately I don't think there's a realistic path to get him.
