Aaron Gordon

Sports Illustrated recently released an article detailing five players whose trade from their current team would have an effect on the NBA.

One of those stars was Aaron Gordon of the Orlando Magic.

Gordon’s play in Orlando hasn’t been bad, but rather his situation, as the article entails.

SI argues that Gordon going somewhere else could pan out the same as former Magic player Victor Oladipo.

Oklahoma City is now where Oladipo plays, and that change of scenery has done a lot for his young, energetic talent.

The fact that Gordon plays small forward would be huge for the Lakers.

Right now, Brandon Ingram’s game appears to be expanding, but putting another powerful youngster in the lineup at that position could change everything.

It would give the Lakers the chance to dish veteran Luol Deng or other names that have been in the rumor mill as well.
