    I came in here to post that he would be a solid pick up but now that you mention this we have zero chance of seeing Mario here.

    There are too many tweeners in the league. Send him to the d league, it might kill his trade value or it could make him a better player

    Interesting, he was looking pretty good in Europe, looks more and more a bust right now...? Would not surprise me if he's going to play well in another team though...

    He has the potential to shoot the lights out of the building but he's been abysmal this year. More than your usual sophomore slump.

    Maybe this is due to Vogel's offense/defense? I admittedly don't know anymore about him other than he's a shooter and pretty athletic. Methinks if his defense sucks, Vogel's not going to give him a lot of PT.

    Yeah, he might just be in a poor fit right now with Vogel's offense and thus the poor play. Seems like a good prospect/asset gamble though for someone. I liked him coming out of the draft.

    Yeah, Vogel should have plenty of power, that's probably why they traded two young players with potential like Oladipo and Sabonis for an expiring and declining Ibaka in the first place...and their season is not looking good soo far so...they look like a situation worth exploring for Morey imo.

    This is a good excuse to get rid of Corey Brewer, and to give more playing time to KJ McDaniels and Sam Dekker.

    Yes a team desperate for more scoring will definitely want Corey Brewer

    I don't think anyone on that Orlando Roster has done this:

    This is another strange thing though, if they need/want more offense, why in the **** they start Biyombo over Vucevic? Especially when they can pair Vuc with Ibaka which is, or, should be his best match possible on both sides? I mean, Ibaka is not as good as he was, Vuc is still terrible (talking about defense), but starting Biyombo AND Ibaka is really a good move if they need more offense? Eh...not sure...and i'm not sure what they're thinking tbh. Watch them end up with Gay and with a max to both Gay and Ibaka next summer...terrible for them if this is going to become reality.

    tons of people thought he should have been picked ahead of Porz. I certainly thought he was going to be somewhat of a "kobe" type; he was already cocky, could dunk like crazy, and make tough shots

    Rockets don't have the available assets that they would be willing to give up for him. Holic has already traded Ariza for him, but the Rockets won't do that. Rockets would probably have to get a 3rd team involved to get the Magic the shooter they are looking for.

    What's weird about him is with all his athleticism he has poor lateral movement. I forget who it was who pointed that out here, maybe @malakas , but once I read that I agreed. I had noticed it but hadn't realized it, since it's odd for someone to be so athletic and have such poor lateral movement.

    His best bet would probably be to bulk up a bit to be a stretch 4, where he could just spot up on offense.
