Reports: Nuggets Deal Players, Draft Picks At NBA Trade Deadline, Acquire Orlando's Aaron Gordon

DENVER (CBS4) -- Sources across the nation are reporting the Denver Nuggets have acquired three players Thursday via trade, including Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon.

Gordon, a 6-foot-8 forward, has reportedly been sent to Denver along with Gary Clark, a 6-6 forward.

According to reports, the Nuggets parted ways with veteran guard Gary Harris, a defensive specialist; 6-4 guard RJ Hampton, the team's first-round draft pick in 2020; Isaiah Hartenstein, a 7-foot forward/center who was drafted in 2017's second round; and a protected first-round pick in the 2025 draft.

In a separate transaction, former Nuggets center JaVale McGee was obtained from the Cleveland Cavaliers for a pair of future second-round draft picks. McGee is a 7-foot center/forward who was drafted in 2008 and played for Denver for four seasons (2011-15). He has played with seven teams over the course of his NBA career.

Gordon was the subject of trade speculation beginning weeks ago as it became apparent a new contract with the Magic was improbable.

Gordon averaged 14.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 32.5 minutes played per game for Orlando during the 2019-20 season. He finished runner-up in the dunk contest at the NBA All-Star game, as he did in his second professional season.

Gordon was drafted fourth overall by the Magic in 2014.

The Nuggets have not yet formally announced the trades.
