Following interested in Gordon: Denver, Minnesota, Portland, Houston and Boston. Wants to go to a good team in "big brand" city, which is basically Boston. Does Dallas qualifies as "big brand" city?
Denver offer: Gary Harris, R.J. Hampton and Denver’s 2021 first-round pick. I guess THJ and Green are better than Harris as he has one more year on his contract. Should offset worse Mavs pick. They can throw in Fournier for Johnson and second rounders. Or keep Fournier and we keep THJ.
Boston scenarios for Gordon seem perhaps a bit more far-flung, depending on Orlando’s taste for having Tristan Thompson’s $9.7 million on the books next year. However, something along the lines of Thompson, Aaron Nesmith, Javonte Green and Boston’s 2021 first-round pick might at least force the Magic to think this over. Boston can also do an unbalanced salary trade that leaves Thompson out and generates a large trade exception for the Magic, thanks to its $28 million exception from the Gordon Hayward trade, but that would end up being extremely expensive with next season’s luxury tax hit.
