Main signing of the Nuggets during last season, Aaron Gordon enters his last year of contract, and he is expected to earn $ 16.4 million this season, before being free agent in July 2022. But like the Celtics with Marcus Smart or the Knicks with Julius Randle, the Denver executives want to take the lead, and according to the Denver Post, the former Magic winger should be extended very soon.
From this summer, Gordon can initial a contract of 88 million over four years, but a source close to the discussions suggests a contract of 42 million over two years, or 63 million over three years. In view of current salaries, it would be rather a good operation for the Nuggets.
As for Gordon, he adapted very quickly to his new team, revealing qualities as a defender and in the game without the ball. Paul Millsap on the start, Gordon should be a strong start at Post 4 to support Nikola Jokic, while Michael Porter Jr. should start at Post 3.
