Nuggets acquiring Aaron Gordon from Magic in four-player swap

The Denver Nuggets are acquiring forwards Aaron Gordon and Gary Clark from the Orlando Magic in exchange for guards Gary Harris, R.J. Hampton, and a first-round pick.

What It Means:

Gordon should help the Nuggets improve on defense but his arrival could make it tough for Paul Millsap and JaMychal Green to find consistent minutes moving forward. Michael Porter Jr. may also lose some playing time upon Gordon's arrival. Over in Orlando, Harris provides even more backcourt depth while Hampton should have an easier path to earning a meaningful role.

Gordon was averaging 30.4 FanDuel points in 29.4 minutes per game for the Magic this season.
