Aaron Gordon was traded to the Denver Nuggets in March 2021. Since then, he’s been crucial to Denver’s success and last year’s NBA championship.
In a pivotal Game 4 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Gordon went off for 27 points and seven rebounds, missing only one shot (!) from the field.
We take you back to Twitter 2021 where the Denver Nuggets traded for Gordon.
The Miami Heat won the NBA trade deadline acquiring Victor Oladipo and Nemanja Bjelica. The Denver Nuggets came in second acquiring Aaron Gordon and JaVale McGee.

Please tell me just how close Boston was to getting Aaron Gordon. I’m gonna pretend to be surprised.

Aaron Gordon would’ve made way more sense for the Blazers than Norm Powell. With Dame and CJ, Portland already has enough offensive firepower. What the Blazers lack is a switchable on-ball defender who can plug and play on offense, and thrive on the short roll. Gordon was ideal. https://t.co/pds52jfzgg

Aaron Gordon is 25 in real years, but 75 in trade rumor years.

I like Aaron Gordon and the fit for Denver, but there is no universe whatsoever where acquiring him should shift their championship odds to this degree. https://t.co/ONPfKMjyHU

Aaron Gordon is one of the most overrated players in the league lol

It had to hurt Tim Connelly to lose RJ Hampton. He REALLY liked him. But that seems like a good price tag for Aaron Gordon. Nuggets are very intriguing.

I think Aaron Gordon in a defined role with Jokic next to him and Murray on the perimeter can be really good

.@davidaldridgedc saying #Nuggets are “smart money” to acquire Aaron Gordon.
That is the same sense I’ve gotten talking to numerous people last night and this morning.
