Gordon is probably best known for his dunk contest performances, in which he posted some perfect scores with some electrifying dunks, yet failed to win. As a player he has averaged 12.9 points and 6.4 points per game in seven years with the Magic.
Gary Harris has been a key piece of a Nuggets team that shocked the NBA last season by coming back from 3-1 holes in the playoffs in back-to-back series during the 2020 playoff bubble. He averages 12 points per game and shoots at a hair under 36 percent from three point range.
The Magic and Nuggets are trading sizes and skill sets here, on the day of the NBA trade deadline.
