The Orlando Magic and Denver Nuggets agreed on a deal to send winger Aaron Gordon to Denver, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
In return, Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and a first-round pick will go to the Magic, as well as a 2025 protected first-round pick, according to sources.
Orlando will also include Gary Clark in the deal, sources told Wojnarowski.
The Magic have been very active before the change deadline, moving pivot Nikola Vucevic to the Chicago Bulls and sending escort Evan Fournier to the Boston Celtics.
Gordon, 25, admitted Tuesday that he asked Orlando for an exchange. He said he made the request because of his “frustration” with the team on various issues.
“There were times when I expressed my frustration to management,” Gordon told reporters. “Frustration with the defeats, the injuries, the way we’ve been playing and how many defeats have accumulated over the years. So I’d say it’s just my boiling frustration … I think a lot of people share that feeling with me. , of frustration “.
Gordon was selected by the Magic with the fourth overall selection in the 2014 Draft. Since Gordon was selected before the 2014-15 season, the Magic have had a combined record of 203-322, qualifying for the playoffs only twice and they were knocked out in the first round every time.
Gordon is averaging 14.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season.
