Aaron Gordon for Dario Saric, who says no? Everybody? Too bad. The Magic FO already laid their intentions bare with this one, so I’m pretty sure it’s going to happen whether we like it or not. Why else would they write it on their official whiteboard of official transaction ideas? Hope you enjoyed Gordon while you had him, Magic fans, because you’re about to replace him with a “playmaking” power forward whose shot is just as questionable as Gordon’s but he doesn’t even make up for it with sick whamjams.
Ben Simmons is gonna love throwing lobs to Gordon next year.
Gordon will probably suffer a little bit not having Elfrid Payton around, though. For all of Payton’s faults, he sets up Air Gordon with so many lobs that it must be rivaling the Chris Paul/DeAndre Jordan connection by this point. His latest act of defiance: an off-the-glass oop while the game was still in question! That should probably be a suspension, or at least a technical, for showboating so hard, but it was still sick to watch. And now you can watch it too, and be appalled/amazed at the brazen display of athleticism!
