Awesome video! I can't wait to see him & Davis on the court, hustling for the team. I hope he has a successful career in the league, and it's all spent on the Magic.

Props to Rob for stealing this pick.

Let's don't get ahead ourselves. First I'd like to see him play against NBA level opponents. Personality is one thing, but on-court skills is another.

Hidayet Turkoglu: "I have two more years remaining in my current contract. If my body holds up, I want to play a few more years and plan to retire in Turkey playing my final season in Turkish league."

Anyone else see CLE interested in Derrick Williams? It could happen.. Varajeo is a very underrated center he just doesn't fit what we're doing here

I see 3 potential trades:

Derrick Williams, Dion Waiters, Zeller

Jeremy Lamb, D-Mot, Tor 1st

And Henny's emergency trade come the trading deadline or a deadline made by the owners

Bynum/Ebanks

I wonder if the Magic can trade Hedo to Turkey lets say for $6m in cash this year and $3m next year to take off our cap. That would be nice. Sort of like split Hedo's cap hit.

Not a good enough perimeter shooter for SF and Not Big enough to play PF. to me hes a Lesser Version Of Jeff Green and dont give me the celtics know wat they are doing with FA signings cuz under Ainge they have had the worst FA signings under him than any other GM for the celtics.

I'm not sure.. people just aren't patient these days.

He is a hybrid player so he is a project player. I just think he needs time (preferably on a rebuilding team) to figure his niche out offensively. Definitely not a bust.

I agree, he looks like an under sized center who likes to shoot from the outside, let's wait before we call him a steal

Punching someone in the balls is an effective way to make them lose their handle. Did you see that? Dude lost the basketball right afterwards.
