Got the sense that the reason Magic rebuffed all Gordon offers previously is they didn't want the blowback if he reached his potential on another team after he was traded. But now that he has publicly demanded a trade, that provides them cover with the PR department. I think people way underrate how much stuff like this plays a factor in organization decisions and transactions. "Career risk" is a huge factor with fund managers who handle many billions of dollars in the finance industry, why would anyone expect basketball GMs to be above it?
