    I can pull up a lot more as well and the only move Gordon showed of the dribble is a spin move.

    Nothing left handed.

    No in and out

    No real hesitation dribble.

    Jeff Green was getting passed around from team to team, and was cut by Utah before coming here

    Gordon can do pretty much everything Green displayed.

    Marcus Morris in Free Agency is really needed at Starting Power Forward, Tucker comes off the bench or gets traded for younger players.

    Never gonna happen unless the Magic GM is a nut. Please come up with a more realistic trade proposal.

    And this means what?

    He also was cut and then played major minutes for a team that made it to 2nd round.

    And we are talking about skill not how valuable a player is, stay on the subject.

    That could be realistic if DM uses the full MLE on him, but Marcus is a 6th man type.

    Billups was passed around from team to team until be became the starting point guard of a dynasty and then was passed around again and lead Melo to the WCF. I never saw Melo there again, did you?

    There is no path. No two players are a like. None of us know who is truly better or more skilled or who would do what in a different scenario. It's subjective and instead of acting like we have the answer, create a dialogue not a lecture.

    A. Gordon is great it's clear. The Magic aren't the best place for him to thrive unless they free up the paint a little more. Gordon is clearly a higher upside guy than Green at this point and has a shot to become a difference maker All-Star type.

    Gordon also isn't coming to the Rockets. Green played for the Rockets two weeks ago! He looked pretty great in this system!

    left hand finish...post moves...turnaround midrange fade...pull up threes...other video showing things like a mid post into a quick spin move for the finish

    Gordon can easily do everything Green can.

    I only had issue with saying Green is way more skilled than Gordon and it’s not debatable when there’s pretty much zero difference between them skill-wise. I am aware Gordon isn’t coming to the Rockets

    He's young, he's long, he can shoot the three, he can block shots, and he loves analytics. There is no reason the Rockets wouldn't want him. Why would the Magic not want him? I doubt the Rockets land him.

    I was talking about a left hand dribble.

    And yes he has a spin move buy what else to counter on a drive?

    None of those things is especially skillful and Green has done all of that throughout his career and is still doing it after 10+ years.

    What is this kid a 3rd stringer, going to get hyped up about trading a starter for a project who turned out to be a bust ? Get real.

    u brought up there’s a reason he’s sticking around so much...he was getting passed around the past 5 years (6 teams in 5 years)...Aaron Gordon could easily stick around a long time too when he gets older if he’s fine with going from team to team every year on minimum deals

    I’ve been on subject saying nothing Green has shown depicts that he’s way more skilled than Gordon



    1:20...another post up into a midrange fade, this time on Siakam

    1:55...a side step three on Gasol

    We’re gonna act like he can’t do something like a simple in and out and can’t finish with his left?

    Man...that’s generous. He is better defensively but I would trust Green’s overall offensive over Gordon.

    I’m down for Mamba, I would prefer to see if we can get Justise Winslow

    We’re gonna act like Gordon can’t dribble with his left hand or make a move with his left?

    nothing Green shows is so amazingly skillful either...u keep painting this picture of him outclassing Gordon skill-wise when it’s not the case...dude ain’t Paul George

    I don't consider those things to be especially skillful.

    Shaq had a fadeaway.

    Anyway I'm out.
