One thing I failed to mention is that Orlando is already on the books for $84m next season, which means they'll have to go over the cap to keep Gordon. Not sure if a lottery team can justify doing that... I suppose they could try to trade Fournier and Biyombo, whose contracts expire after next season, but 2/3 of the league are already over the cap for 2018-19, so it could prove just as difficult to ship those expirings this summer as it was at the trade deadline.
