Aaron Gordon, Magic agree to 4-year, $84 million deal

Aaron Gordon will remain with the Orlando Magic.

Gordon and the Magic agreed to a four-year deal worth a total of about $84 million, Yahoo Sports reported and the Orlando Sentinel confirmed. A source with knowledge of the situation told the Sentinel that the contract will be a straight four-year deal that does not include a player option or a team option.

Retaining Gordon, a restricted free-agent forward, was Orlando's top priority in free agency.

Gordon posted the best statistical season of his four-year NBA career in 2017-18. He averaged career highs of 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. After a torrid start with his long-range shooting, he finished the season a career-best 33.6 percent from beyond the arc.

The Magic drafted Gordon fourth overall in 2014.

Now that Mario Hezonja has decided to join the New York Knicks, Gordon is the only player remaining on the Magic's roster who was drafted during Rob Hennigan's tenure as general manager.

Gordon posted a message on Twitter to announce he'll remain with the Magic.

He wrote: "Back with the magic! Let's go!!"
