The only issue is, Gordon is undoubtedly going to cost more than that. ORL turned down an offer from the Blazers that included 2 first rounders and Ariza.

Johnson is similarly an expiring contract like Ariza, whose best days are behind him, but DFS isn't worth 2 first rounders so additional compensation is most certainly needed. How much? Well ORL turned down 2 firsts, so I assume that's the starting point.

Cause Orlando is crazy. They have Vucevic, Isaac, Bamba, Aminu, Gordon and the 16th pick from last year, but they think they can demand a ransom for Gordon. I guess they can try now, but in six months he´ll become an expiring contract, Isaac is making $27M a year and Bamba will probably ask for playing time or a trade. Gordon is not such a hot commodity that teams can´t simply wait for that moment, when his trade value will plummet.
