Aaron Gordon has turned a career season into a major payday, giving magic the makings of a formidable forecourt.
After his best year in the league, the advanced combo has agreed on a four-year, $ 84 million deal with Orlando on Sunday night, Yahoo Sports said. A restricted free agent, Gordon did not wait to sign an offer sheet.
In his fourth season in the league, Gordon had career starts of 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 badists while shooting 33.6% to 3 points.
The Magic, without a winning season since 2010-11, hopes to build a competitor around a group of talented young men, led by Gordon, 22-year-old first round choice Mohamed Bamba and Jonathan Isaac, their first choice in the project from the previous year.
On paper, the Suns have improved considerably in a short time. They won the NBA draft lottery and took the Arizona Deandre Ayton specimen with the first choice. They transformed choice No. 16 and a choice of first round in the future in 2021 in Mikal Bridges Villanova, a consensus of the first place in the project. And Saturday night, Phoenix added to this goal a precious veteran wing, Trevor Ariza.
Still, lethal striker Devin Booker, who averaged 24.9 points per game last year, would be unfortunate after the good friend Tyler Ulis dropped out. Both have played together in Kentucky and have known each other for some time.
There was good news for Booker. ESPN reported that Suns owner Robert Sarver and general manager Ryan McDonough will meet with Booker and his agent on Tuesday to present the framework for his rookie contract extension, which could be a maximum deal.
The move was made before the free agency and the Suns used all their ceiling space to land Ariza on a one – year, $ 15 million deal. Ariza, 33, who averaged 11.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last year, was a key player for the Rockets.
The Warriors did not have many answers for the Clint Capela Rockets center at the Western Conference finals, so of course they are studying the possibility of adding the big emerging man. ESPN reported that the Warriors were scheduled to meet Capela on Sunday. The Lakers are also interested. But the Rockets can match any business for the restricted free agent. After losing Ariza, Houston can not afford to have more of its kernel go elsewhere. The Rockets have re-signed playmaker Chris Paul, bringing him back on a four-year contract, $ 160 million max, as ESPN has announced.
Three years after pushing the Mavericks to stay with the Clippers after verbally signing an agreement, DeAndre Jordan finally arrives in Dallas. The big 6-foot-11 man has accepted a one-year contract worth $ 24.1 million, the New York Times reported.
Derrick Rose did not spend much time in Minnesota last year, appearing in just nine regular season games, but that was enough to impress Timberwolves' decision makers. The most titled player three times and the 2011 MVP was brought back for a one-year contract, according to ESPN.
