Aaron Gordon says he requested trade of his “frustration” with the team on a number of issues
Gordon, who still has another year and a half left on his current contract, is averaging 14.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season.
Aaron Gordon confirmed that he has requested trade from the Orlando Magic due to frustration over a series of issues.
Per ESPN,Gordon said he made the request because of his “frustration” with the team on a number of issues. The Athletic reported Monday that Gordon asked the Magic for a trade in February.
“There’s been times where I just expressed my frustration to management,” Gordon told reporters. “Frustration with the losses, the injuries, the way we’ve been playing and how many losses have accumulated over the years. So it’s just my frustration kind of boiling over I would say. … I think a lot of people share that sentiment with me, of frustration.”
“As of right now, I’m an Orlando Magic. I’ve been here for seven years, developed a home here, a sense of love and community here. For as long as I have Orlando on my chest, Magic on my chest, I’m going to give it everything I have.”
