Magic re-sign Aaron Gordon (4 yrs, $84M)

Sounds like a decent benchmark for Capela, no?

 

I could see 4 yrs, 72 million, maybe less.

 

Not sure Clint will accept less money than this, hopefully i'm wrong.

 

While I think Aaron Gordon is overrated, the Magic could not let him walk for nothing without becoming a bigger joke than they already are.

 

21 a year...it could be worse.
Very likely to be a very bad contract but hey at least it's not the full max.
Kinda impressed with the progress in negotiations Hammond has shown tbh.

 

Clint should get less than this.

 

That was my thought as well.

 

I don't think Aaron Gordon is any good.

Would not want him for half of that amount.

 

Pretty much how I feel. He's a decent player, but much more sizzle than steak. Not an impact defensive player, not an impact scorer, generously mediocre shooter, mediocre rebounder. He doesn't excel at any of the important areas for the NBA in 2018.

He's still really young and athletic, so those are areas that can grow. But if you are giving him this money it better be for expected growth, not shown results.

 

Crazy takes are the worst hot takes.

 

Aaron Gordon's contract got "front loaded" Very team friendly.
