Chriss on waiver. No brainer pick?

[OrlandO]

Orlando needs a PF to make a playoff push. But this kid cannot shoot.

Jeff Green makes more sense. Or if his wrist is finally healed, Kenneth Faried.

Green is lazy, inconsistent and takes too many shots... this is the first season he's played less than 20 mpg and it coincides with a career low fg%. I don't see how he makes sense. You're not talking about starting him are you?

Faried on the other hand would give us a nice boost of energy and hustle production. I'm not sure he's healthy though since his Chinese team released him while averaging 17/10...

Seems like he couldn't be worse than Aminu, right?

No Rose-colored glasses. You are correct in noting the horror of Aminu's game.

Orlando needs a back-up PF going forward. I really can see no debate to that point.

But it won't be Chriss.

The Magic is not looking for quality minutes; this team is looking for a warm body as a back-up PF. And a stretch-4 fits this team'n needs. And I see that there is exactly one available: Mr. Green.

If Faried is healthy, then fine. But the media reports that he is not.

Of course not. The Magic need a 4-8 mpg guy as Mr. #10-12 on the bench.

The less you play Jeff Green the lazier he will play. I'll take Amile Jefferson over Green.

Chriss certainly is a no brainer. He is dumb as a brick and any team that wants to win games should stay far away from him.

[Max Power]

If we need a power forward on the cheap I’m sure we can do better than Chriss or Jeff Green. Don’t we all remember his last run here. Everyone hated him. I’d rather give a young guy who isn’t a knucklehead a chance.

[CPBalla2003 n da 863]

Why not Gary Clark? Add a little bit of shooting... looking at his 3 pt (35%) and FT (86%) % could be a nice wing addition off the bench in limited minutes if need be.

Just saw Clark got waived; he is exactly the kind of player the magic could use to bolster their depth chart at PF.

I don't know. A model franchise like the Warriors couldn't turn him into a useful player on their lottery team. I don't know what we're going to do with him.

Wouldn't really care if we signed him. Wouldn't have high hopes. Great athlete, bad basketball player. He might fit in.

deep down inside you all know we are signing Jeff

Retreading players is not the way to go. Especially if it didn't work the first time.

Chriss is no for me but that kid from Houston is a most. He is legit. We should go after him. Gary Clark is his name.

If ge is all that, why did HOU let go of him?

We picked up MCW last year and that paid dividends. I haven't paid enough attention to Chriss to know why he hasn't worked out, but maybe this would be a wake up call for him. While I like Jefferson for his intangibles and he does have rebounding skill, he simply isn't talented enough to be a legit NBA player. I'd be good with taking a chance on Chriss.
