Yeah, I assume you're correct here, especially with the two biggest suitors -- Phoenix and Dallas -- picking high in the draft and possibly taking Bagley, Jackson or Porter, which would likely nullify their interest in Gordon... It's a good possibility that there aren't any teams left with cap space who require his services, so Orlando can pay him less than max.
Excellent observation.
