Show Notes
Five years ago, the Denver Nuggets made a game-changing trade, acquiring Aaron Gordon from the Orlando Magic. The Nuggets, seeking a versatile defender to match up against top wings, traded Gary Harris, RJ Hampton, and a future first-round pick for Gordon, Gary Clark, and a future second-round pick. Gordons size, strength, and mobility made him an ideal fit alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Initially uncertain about Gordons fit, Jokic and Gordons chemistry quickly clicked, leading to a successful debut and a seven-game winning streak. Gordons ability to play multiple positions and his improved three-point shooting have been crucial to the Nuggets success, culminating in their 2023 championship run. Despite injury concerns, Gordon remains a vital X-factor for the Nuggets as they continue their playoff streak.
