Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon recently published a revealing photo of his girlfriend Izabela Guedes.
Guedes, a model and designer with more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, has previously been linked to rapper Wiz Khalifa. During a recent vacation with Gordon, she posed for the Magic star while the two were having dinner. He took a photo of the pose and published it online. Unfortunately, what neither party realized at the time was that an emoji placed on the photo to cover Guedes’ chest didn’t cover it at all.
When this was pointed out to Gordon, he immediately went back and deleted the offending photograph. At that point, however, the damage was done and the picture in question was in circulation online.

Bad photo editing notwithstanding, Gordon is heading into something of an interesting season. He is entering the third year of four-year deal he signed in 2018 worth $84 million.
After getting $21.59 million in 2018-19 and $19.86 million in 2019-20, Gordon is due $18.13 million in 2020-21 and $16.4 million in 2021-22.
This past season Gordon averaged 14.4 points on 43.7 percent shooting, 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. He also shot just 30.8 percent from behind the three-point line this year, after shooting 33.6 percent and 34.9 percent over the last two seasons.

2019-20 marked Gordon’s worst offensive campaign since 2016.
As a result, the Magic floated his name in multiple trade conversations over the offseason in hopes of a fresh start.
There was some chatter about him possibly going to the Golden State Warriors in return for the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, but ultimately that did not come to fruition.

Because Gordon’s contract was top-heavy and is now decreasing in amount, he could make for an intriguing trade target over the next year.
Will anyone step up to the plate and take a chance on him? Time will tell.
