Aaron Gordon and the Denver Nuggets are engaged in contract extension talks ahead of the start of the 24-25 season. Gordon revealed at media day that he would like to sign an extension. Gordon has a player option for the 25-26 season.
“From what I understand, they are negotiating with Aaron Gordon,” said Brian Windhorst on Friday’s episode of The Hoop Collective. “Aaron Gordon was eligible for a four-year, $150 million-ish contract extension. They haven’t handed out that offer, otherwise he would have signed it. From what I understand, they are negotiating and they’re hopeful of getting him at less than what would be his quote, unquote max.
“We’ll see if that get that done, but I think they’re trying to do a negotiation there.”
The Nuggets acquired Gordon ahead of the 2021 trade deadline and then signed an extension in September worth $92 million over four seasons.
Denver recently signed Jamal Murray to a four-year, $207.8 million max extension.
