In trade talks with the Denver Nuggets, the Magic would prefer Will Barton over Gary Harris in a potential Aaron Gordon deal, league sources told HoopsHype. Barton has a $14.6 million player option for next season while Harris is owed a guaranteed $20.9 million. Orlando also has interest in rookie guard RJ Hampton while Denver is reluctant totrade Bol Bol as part of thetrade package for Gordon.
Denver has repeatedly been mentioned by league sources as a Ball suitor, rumored to have offered Bol Bol in those early conversations. Yet New Orleans did have the opportunity to select the Oregon product in the 2019 draft, plus the opportunity to sign him to a two-way contract, sources said, and the Pelicans came away with Brazilian combo guard Didi Louzada instead.
Bol Bol wants to win Rookie of the Year
All of this is new to Bol, which is why any firm expectations shouldn’t be cast. What’s more, most of Denver’s depth chart is still fluid just two weeks away from the season opener. There’s still time and three preseasons games to make impressions. And for Bol, who is still technically a rookie and therefore eligible for hardware, he’s setting his sights on some lofty goals. “Personally, just to play a lot more,” he said. “And hopefully win Rookie of the Year.”
