Per MC's tweeter account that filters out to AJC.com. That is a good pickup still does not take away the sting of missing out on a guy like Reggie Evans but this is a good deal. I can now see Pape either getting cut or sent back down to D League. Don't see Sloan, Wanamaker, or Pape staying on the roster for long. They will all probably end up D-League or elsewhere sooner than later.

Willie Green is pretty good actually. His career Point Per Minute average is about 2.3 Bogans would have most likely been better as a defender but Green greater as a scorer. Green’s PPM is actually greater than that of McGrady’s but T-Mac is superior as a passer and rebounder. Green’s PPM is also greater than Bogans by far, but Bogan’s greater as a rebounder and passer also.

Quite obvious we went with offensive punch here. I am not mad at this deal. Green’s PPG and PPM numbers could very well be greater than T-Macs this year. Someone must have been cut though.

Agree with your comments. Let's hope that he can be the "new Flip". Between him, Radma and T Mac, that could cover JC1 scoring off the bench...

so far, a bit of a poor man Flip but yet still some good minutes off the bench especially that he joined the team late...Good addition to TMac and radma, with KH.
We will have a stronger bench than the one limited to zaza, Teague (for limited minutes = Pargo), and JC1 last year...
