The Orlando Magic have not shown any signs they are willing to trade power forward Aaron Gordon, according to Josh Robbins of The Atheltic.
The Magic signed Aaron Gordon to a lucrative four-year, $80 million deal last summer. The high-flyer is averaging 15.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season for Orlando.

At 23 years old, Gordon has become a more efficient player under new coach Steve Clifford. In addition, the Magic are intent on pairing Gordon with Isaac in the lineup, as they have most of this season, to see how successful they can be together.
The Magic enter Thursday with a record of 20-28, 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings. If the team doesn't make the postseason this year, major changes could be coming to the roster in the summer, but it looks like Aaron Gordon is staying put.
Gordon, 23, is shooting 45.4 percent from the floor, 35.9 percent from beyond the arc and 72.9 percent from the free-throw line this season. Orlando is hoping Gordon, Mohamed Bamba, and Jonathan Isaac will be a lethal frontcourt for the franchise for the next decade.
The Magic haven't made the playoffs since 2012. The organization has been rebuilding ever since they traded Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2012.
