The Brooklyn Nets have already made one massive trade this season, bringing in superstar guard James Harden from the Houston Rockets. Now, there is a chance that they could look to make another sizable deal ahead of the NBA trade deadline. One name that has been mentioned as a good fit is Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon.
Gordon would certainly fit nicely alongside the “Big Three” in Brooklyn and would help the Nets upgrade their front-court.
So far this season with the Magic, Gordon has put together a solid year. He has averaged 13.8 points per game to go along with 7.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Gordon has shot 42.7 percent from the floor overall and knocked down 36.9 percent from the three-point line.

CLEVELAND (AP) Collin Sexton had 25 points and nine assists, Andre Drummond added 19 points and 16 rebounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets for the second time in three days, 125-113 on Friday night.
The Nets played without superstar forward Kevin Durant, who was held out as a precautionary measure as he continues his comeback from right Achilles tendon surgery.
Kyrie Irving scored 38 points and James Harden had 19 points and 11 assists for Brooklyn, which lost 147-135 in double-overtime to the Cavaliers in the debut of its high-scoring trio Wednesday.
Durant scored 38 points and played 50 minutes in that game, so he was rested with another game Saturday.
