The Nuggets of Denver At the trade deadline, the Denver Nuggets made another bold move by acquiring forward Aaron Gordon from the Orlando Magic. The Magic receive veteran shooting guard Gary Harris, rookie R.J. Hampton, and a first-round draft selection in return. This is just one of many moves made by new general manager John Hammond who is trying to give his team some much-needed momentum after a disappointing season so far. Gordon has been one of Orlando's most productive players this season, averaging 16.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He also adds depth at the center position for Denver, who recently signed Mason Plumlee to a two-year deal. The 21-year-old prospect was drafted ninth overall by the Magic back in 2016 after a stellar career at Duke University. Orlando acquired Gordon in order to clear space under the salary cap for Dwight Howard, who is now with the Los Angeles Clippers. Without him, they are forced to release someone which means Gordon will be playing elsewhere next season. However, Denver will pay him $4 million over the next two seasons. Gordon has already announced that he will be changing his jersey number from 0 to up against teammate Nikola Jokic when he joins the team later this month.
