Yeah, I think I remember a Zach Lowe podcast where he mentioned that the Magic should have traded Gordon over the summer and now they're probably regretting it because his value around the league has really taken a hit after this season. Their ownership is tired of 10 years of rebuilding. They were desperate to make the playoffs, and they needed to give their fanbase some signs of of optimism/hope with Isaac shelved. They wanted to give Gordon, who had been the face of the franchise (thanks mainly to his Slam Dunk Contest performances, tbh) once last chance. I don't see Gordon on their roster next year. He's a lost cause in their franchise, and they need to just focus on doing what ever it takes to let Isaac thrive without having to adapt his game around the awkward fit with Gordon.
