Magic forward Aaron Gordon, through his representative, asked team president Jeff Weltman for a trade in February, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick and Jared Weiss.
Nevertheless, Gordon has remained with the franchise and leading up to this Thursday's trade deadline, he appears to be one of the highest-profile players who could be moved. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Rockets and Magic have engaged in talks on a Gordon deal to Houston for two first-round draft picks. The Timberwolves, Nuggets and Trail Blazers also remain interested in Gordon, according to Charania.
