Aaron Gordon has rough first game of 2019-20

Aaron Gordon
PF, Orlando Magic

Aaron Gordon wasn't at his best to open the 2019-20 campaign, finishing Wednesday's win with nine points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals, a block and a 3-pointer.

It's not the worst line in the world when you write it all out but we were hoping for better than 2-of-8 shooting against the lowly Cavs. Gordon hasn't quite found his niche yet, and although the Magic found success at the end of last season it wasn't really coupled with Gordon taking a massive step forward. The upside is there, as always, but Gordon might be settling more in the top-80-100 range at this point.

Montrezl Harrell
PF, Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers and Montrezl Harrell have mutual interest in negotiating a deal this offseason as he becomes an unrestricted free agent, but Harrell is expected to receive interest from multiple other teams, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Harrell struggled in the playoffs after losing his grandmother earlier in the bubble and he also had a run-in with Paul George during Game 2 but the team considers him an integral part of their success. He was on a two-year, $12 million deal that he had signed with the Clippers back in 2018 and it’s certain that he will demand much more money than that winning the 2019-20 Sixth Man of the Year award.

Wendell Carter Jr.
C, Chicago Bulls

The Bulls are narrowing to finalists for their head coaching job, with Nuggets assistant Wes Unseld Jr., Sixers assistant Ime Udoka, Bucks assistant Darvin Ham and former Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson among the coaches who have had strong interviews so far.

Atkinson has a more proven resume after what he did in Brooklyn, but the other three are top assistants who have earned their shot in the big chair. This is undoubtedly a great opening for a young Bulls team that has quality young talent on the roster with Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen, Coby White and Wendell Carter. The Bulls are expected to conduct the final round of interview in the next few days and a hire looks more and more imminent.

John Collins
PF, Atlanta Hawks

Hawks GM Travis Schlenk said on Monday that he plans on discussing a contract extension with John Collins’ representatives once the free agency starts.

Collins averaged 21.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 33.2 minutes per game in his third NBA season. The young forward also stated during the summer that he is hopeful he will sign a rookie-scale contract extension with the Hawks. He will be a restricted free agent in 2021 if he's unable to reach agreement with the Hawks, but the two parties are likely to continue together for many years to come.

Patrick Beverley
PG, Los Angeles Clippers

Opposing executives expect the Clippers to try to trade for a playmaking guard following the disappointment in the Western Conference playoffs, as relayed by Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George coach Doc Rivers and the Clippers have indicated that the team has to stick together for another run and try again next season. Still, the team will try to upgrade and the point guard position might be where the team becomes aggressive in the offseason. A starter to set up the offense and keep the ball moving may do the trick and they undoubtedly have the pieces to make a trade for someone who fits that description. Look for plenty of rumors once the NBA season is officially over.

Kris Dunn
PG, Chicago Bulls

Kris Dunn has elected to sit out the Bulls' upcoming three-week voluntary offseason program.

This comes as no surprise given Dunn's upcoming free-agency. His 2019-20 season ended prematurely due to a knee injury and while he appears to be fully recovered, he does not want to risk injury before deciding on a team for next season. Dunn remains one of the elite on-ball defenders in the league and is sure to warrant the attention of multiple teams over the coming months. He finished the season as a top-90 asset in 9-cat formats and should he land in a favorable situation, he could make for a sneaky late-round flyer type.
