    Ben Gordon Agrees to Deal with Orlando Magic

    I guess $9 million over two years is more important than playing for a contender.

    The only reasons I see them doing this is because him and Oladipo share the same agent and they need to hit the salary floor.

    Strange pickup.

    Depending on how Peyton plays out of the gates, Orlando has a shot at a playoff spot. Doubt it happens though.

    all he is going to do is hinder the growth of the players behind him just like he did in charlotte for a couple years. It amazes me how these general managers have jobs, its like they dont even watch basketball

    How does Gordon keep getting contracts like this? Does he have nude photos of half the GMs in the league with other men? I don't get this at all.

    Hit lottery in Detroit, too. That first round pick Detroit lost, 8th pick was because of Gordon salary dump.

    I don't think it's a bad signing for Orlando. Remember they're a very young team, there's nothing wrong with having a couple of veterans around to help out the kids.
