Forward Aaron Gordon and guard Elfrid Payton are eligible to sign extensions up to the Oct. 16 deadline, but at this time, neither is expected to ink a new deal with the Orlando Magic, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Josh Robbins writes that Orlando executives Jeff Weltman (president of basketball operations) and John Hammond (general manager) have said they prefer to use the 2017-18 NBA season to evaluate the entire roster before committing long term to any player.
"One thing I can tell you is they're both very talented and they're both very high-character guys who want to win, and that's a lot," Weltman said in September regarding Gordon and Payton.
