At the end of March, the Denver Nuggets acquired Aaron Gordon from the Orlando Magic. They gave up some guard depth and a 2025 first-round pick in exchange for their new starting power forward and Gary Clark.
The move made a lot of sense as the Nuggets looked to improve upon last year’s Western Conference Finals appearance by adding an athletic defender and key piece of Orlando’s offense to the roster.
