The Fisher article detailed how Gordon was almost traded before his high ankle sprain to the TWolves for Rubio and draft capital. That would indicate...
a) The Magic do value a potential floor general point guard.
b) They're not asking for some crazy king's ransom for Gordon. The TWolves don't have a lot of draft capital to throw around. They owe the Warriors a 1st round pick .. either this year's 2021 Top 3 protected or 2022 unprotected. Rubio this year has been ... not good ... and is due $18 million next year. So I don't know where people are getting this idea that Gordon costs 2-3 first round picks.
