Pretty sure the Magic organization has no idea in hell who they want or need on draft day.

I agree. I still can't get over the fact they let Granger go by them. When I saw his name on the board I was like, "YES!! We will get a very good player!". Of course the Magic disappoint again and don't draft him.

Last year, most here were quite positive to Green. Interesting to see this flip so quickly.

That's right on UCF. From what I seen from GG's stats. He's more of an athletic freak on offense with attacking the bucket is his only option. He lacks the fundamentals that would make him better as a player. Unless he improves a lot of areas of his game. All Green will be is a player that is all flash and no substance.

its best too stay away from him guys u dont want a no defense basketball player playing on your team

at the start of the season Mchale demanded Green too improve hes game and it didnt happen which proves hes useless and this will be hes last year in the nba i think

i guess a late 2nd round pick couldnt hurt though if u need more bench scoring

How does he have the chutzpah to demand a trade?

Its BB IQ. But remember, he is only 22 and would be in college right now, and the thing I like about him is that unlike most of these high school punks, everyone says he's a hard worker. I think the last characteristic is why he still has a chance to make it, because some athletes can be coached into BBIQ, but a player with BBIQ can't be coached into a 48-inch vertical leap.

He's still a longshot, and he may never amount to anything, but I think there's still a chance with the guy.

^^^ I wouldn't trade Auggie for Green either.

Otis wants shooters around dwight and GG just doesn't cut it. I would rather see JJ play more than bringing in Green.

Too many people here are fixated on the hype this guy had coming into the league. All this boy has is a sick dunk arsenal... Can't do much else.

I'm not supporting the acquisition of Green, but percentage wise the guy isn't that bad of a 3pt shooter. He has other inadequacies that are worse than his shooting.

This kid should not be in the NBA. Great athlete, low BB IQ, poor work ethic, and horrible attitude.

These offensive trades are no good. That is the last thing we need. If we could play defense consistently and get a defensive rebound we might just be crushing most teams.

I do not think we need to bring anyone in to fix our SG position, everyone keeps looking around for some sort of magic answer to it when we already have someone on the team to place there.

No, it's not JJ, it's not Bogans or Dooling. It's Hedo.

What we need from the shooting guard position ..scoring and a threat outside. Hedo is this and he can get to the bucket.

Moving him there and putting Rashard back at SF and placing a temporary Cook at PF and keep Dwight at C. If you don't like Cook, I would suggest if possible bringing Webber in at the Vet's minimum and playing him at PF.

The only major change I would welcome is at PG ..shipping out our expirings and a couple players for JKidd would make us great. I mentioned losing Jameer in a trade for Kidd, however a Battie/JJ/Arroyo/Garrity/Dooling scenario would work too.

GG is a shooter if anything, he lead the league in 3pt% in the 1st half of last season
He's got a sweet stroke and high release

Unfortunately things have changes in a year for GG. Can he benefit well in another system and produce better than he has done with the Wolves or what he did last year. That depends on how GG fits in said system and how he develops to a better player, if at all.
