Minnesota Timberwolves Rumors: D'Angelo Russell trade is possible, Wolves interested in Aaron Gordon and more

#3 Wolves have shown interest in Aaron Gordon

Aaron Gordon is enduring another underwhelming season with the Orlando Magic

Aaron Gordon has long been backed as a future All-Star, although the 24-year-old's career has stalled over the past few years. Gordon's fit in Orlando's frontcourt alongside Nikola Vucevic and the emerging Jonathan Isaac is questionable, and it seems that the forward is no longer a vital part of the Magic's future.

Gordon is signed to a team-friendly contract that will see him earn a relatively low $16.4 million for the 21-2022 season, and Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer is reporting that the Wolves have called the Magic regarding a potential trade:

"One team that makes sense for Gordon is Minnesota, which called Orlando about Gordon this season, according to league sources. It’s unclear what precisely was offered, but Minnesota is shopping Robert Covington."

Gordon has played 43 times for the Magic this season, averaging 13.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per contest. The California native has shot a career-low 41.9 percent from the field, while also connecting with just 29.8 percent of his three-point attempts.
