NBA Trade Rumors: Orlando Magic listening to offers for Aaron Gordon
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Orlando Magic have received interest from several NBA teams over the availability of Aaron Gordon. The 25-year-old power forward is in his seventh season for the Orlando Magic. He averages 13.6 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists per game.
He has been unlucky with injuries throughout his seven-year career, but is a good backup option for most playoff contenders and can be involved in a busier role for mid-table teams. The Orlando Magic have received interest from the likes of the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves for the forward, although a deal remains far from complete.
Detroit Pistons hopeful of a second-round pick for Wayne Ellington
Wayne Ellington spent a season with the New York Knicks when he signed as a free agent before making his way to the Detroit Pistons at the start of this NBA season. The veteran shooting-guard has been close to his best from the 3-point line and is having a career year in shooting efficiency.
In addition to shooting, his ball-handling and passing skills have also seen improvement over the past two seasons. While no NBA teams have reported their interested as of now, the Detroit Pistons are hoping to negotiate a second-round pick in exchange for the 33-year-old.
