Marquee NBA players most likely to be traded: Aaron Gordon, Orlando Magic

There are several teams who are rumored to be interested in acquiring Aaron Gordon. An ideal scenario for him would be on a team with a superstar where he could serve as a complementary player doing the things he does best like cutting towards the basket, finishing at the rim with authority, and setting screens for ball handlers, playmakers, and shot creators.

The Denver Nuggets come to mind when you consider that scenario. You have a superstar do-it-all center in Nikola Jokic and a great ball-handler and playmaker in Jamal Murray, not to mention up-and-coming Michael Porter Jr.

Gordon can provide size to go along with rebounding and defense as he could help improve a team that was expected to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
