Aaron Gordon renewed his contract for 4 years and 92 million US dollars, the last of which was a player option.
After the Magic trade to the Nuggets last season, Gordon played 25 games for the Nuggets, averaging 10.2 points per game, 4.7 boards and 2.2 assists, and The arrival of Gordon provided enough vitality for the Nuggets' fourth position, and also made up for the gap after Grant left the team to some extent.
But honestly, Gordon and Grant are fundamentally different.
Admittedly, Gordon has a lot of contact with Mr. Joe with his excellent explosiveness, but he always gives people a sense of déjà vu that everything will only be proficient in dunks.
In contrast, Grant's versatility is highlighted, his golden attributes are unattainable on any team, and most importantly, Grant, who came to the Pistons, showed people his excellent offensive ability to hold the ball, averaging from 12 points before the change of team to 22.3 points today!
However, Gordon can only rely on Murray's containment to get the shooting space, and after Murray's reimbursement, Gordon's comfort zone has also been disturbed by the increase in the intensity of the playoffs, and finally can only pin his hopes on the not too stable play of Teacher Yo and Porter Jr.
It is said that the Thunder production, must be a boutique, nuggets failed to leave the jumping man Grant at the price of 20 million annual salary, and it is not excluded that the latter is not willing to be a green leaf and wants to be a factor in core development.
Gordon, on the other hand, is different, instead of being on the Magic, a team that never wants to make a final in a lifetime, it is better to come to the Nuggets so that there are more stages to play.
As we all know, the Magic is a team that is relatively easy to delay new people, Bamba has almost been scrapped half, Gordon is certainly not willing to sit still, even if Gordon has such shortcomings, but in the Nuggets, around The Teacher, he can use his resources, which is already rare.
The key is that Gordon is willing to be a green leaf around Murray and Mr. Yo, and in terms of his style, his shortcomings in poor organization and possession are also where Mr. Murrayo and Porter Jr. fit in with it, so this contract is very suitable for the Nuggets, a team that revolves around the absolute core main system and needs functional players.
Moreover, according to the US media, Gordon's contract has 4 million-5 million US dollars or in the form of bonuses. In this way, the fixed annual salary of about 20 million yuan is not a premium for Gordon.
If you really think it's expensive, go and see Nabertans, then see Siakam and Simmons, and you'll know.
After continuing to make appointments with Murray, Teacher and Gordon, the next step for the Nuggets is to find a way to renew Porter Jr., and the next year is Porter Jr.'s contract year, which means that he is about to become a free agent.
For Porter Jr. himself, he definitely still wants to stay in the Nuggets, after all, there are teammates and coaches he knows well, and his agent is currently negotiating with the team, which is said to be quite smooth.
As for the salary space that is about to explode and the luxury tax that needs to be paid, presumably the nugget boss is also mentally prepared.
If all four players stabilize, the Nuggets could take off in the next few years.
Murray's absence last season saw them swept by the Suns in the playoff semifinals, and next season they will surely be one of the most competitive teams in the West.
Young, orderly, fast, good at ball, and more experienced in the Western Conference Finals, are you optimistic about the Nuggets in this lineup configuration?
