Orlando Magic

Burning Question: How to tackle free agency, and Aaron Gordon

The big; question that the Orlando Magic need to answer over the next few weeks is how this team is going to tackle free agency, specifically Aaron Gordon. Gordon is a restricted free agent this summer, and will have plenty of options.

The Magic have to figure out if he’s worth the damage on the checkbook. He will almost definitely cost max money, and if the Magic aren’t willing to pay him there will be a handful of teams that could be.

Can the Magic afford to let him walk, especially with the way Victor Oladipo has blossomed? Probably not.
