LOL where are you seeing this? I'd love to read more. :lol:


Doc Rivers was a big fan of Willie Green and thought that by waiving Green, he could free up space to make a run at Melo or Lebron then resign Willie. So, the agreement was made to cut Green, but then Henny, amongst other GM's, noticed the roster move with a keen eye on Willie Green as a player that could benefit the young Magic roster. Henny, after consulting with his staff, decided that the Magic could claim Willie off waivers after cutting Jameer Nelson with that saved extra loot. The plan worked out slick as banana pudding. Doc River was reportedly fuming in disgust over the slick move. Henny being the eagle eyed exec who is always monitoring league activities obtained a player coveted by other GM's with his wiley ways. One has to give credit where credit is due to make such a wise move. Now, the Magic have the depth needed after losing Moore and Meer to create a lethal backcourt ready to contend nightly over the duration of the grueling 81 game schedule. Knock it back!

Maybe this was answered already. Is Green's contract guaranteed for the whole season or can he still be cut during training camp?

Extremely high character. Wow. I can't help but think he will bring the experiences, especially those that made the Clippers successful, here and help us model some of our game after theirs. After drafting Payton and Gordon, I think it's safe to say Henny started having dreams of our own version of Lob City. Getting Green is going to help so much in just bringing knowledge to our players. Whatever he gives on the court will just be bonus.
