The Denver Nuggets are not interested in signing their starting forward to a max contract.
The Denver Nuggets and their champion starting forward, Aaron Gordon, are in active talks of a contract extension. However, according to recent reports, the Nuggets are not willing to offer Gorodn a maximum contract.ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on a recent episode of The Hoop Collective that the Nuggets are 'hopeful' to sign Gordon to a new deal below the $150 million that he's eligible to receive.
It seems like it's moving forward in the right direction, so I'm excited. I'm excited hopefully to be extended and to stay with this organization.'The 29-year-old is on a bargain this season at $22.8 million; however, with the extension that he is eligible for, it is a fair price considering what he can and has brought to the team.Gordon averaged 13.9 points per game, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 0.8 steals while shooting 55.6 percent from the field in 73 games.
