Magic - Nuggets

[Alex English]

Orlando Magic trade:

79 Paul George - $2,406,240 - $2,574,120 - $3,282,003 - $4,470,088


Denver Nuggets trade:

67 Xavier Henry - $2,171,640 - $2,323,200 - $3,201,370 - $4,405,085
2012 7th overall pick
ORL 2014 2nd round pick



I accept. The player picked at 7 could end up being a superstar, but they could also be a bust. I am going to make the safe move here.

[Blake Bowman]

I accept.

I think any of the people at number seven will be great, also Henry can have a good season this year behind Gordon, he is also a good prospect. I will also be getting back my 2014 2nd and that could be a good pick in the future.

[Lucas Lutkus]

nice trade

[Walt Frazier]

So, to start off...Xavier Henry has not looked good in his 2 years in the NBA, and signs aren't pointing up or anything. He is worth basically nothing. A 2nd round pick is generally worth about nothing, and when it's 2 years in the future, it's really worth basically nothing.

So, this is really, for all intents and purposes, Paul George for Pick 7.

I hate this trade for Orlando, big time. Paul George has looked GREAT, and he's proven. He's also young, and he's also cheap! What is not to like?

All that said, Paul was picked at like 13 or 14 2 years ago in a class not as good as this one, so clearly pick 7 has big potential. I just do not see the point of this for Orlando.

7 will be one of MKG/Barnes/Thomas Robinson/Drummond/Rivers I suppose? I really think Paul George is just clearly a better option but all of those guys have big potential...

I don't see enough to reject it though...so I guess I have to...Approve.

[Glenn Robinson]

Interesting move. I'm not so sure I would give up on Paul George so quickly as he has played very well in the league thus far and banking on the 7th pick to be better is a pretty big gamble. However, this draft class is strong so I don't see a rejection here.

I approve.

[Ian Noble]

In my opinion Paul George is Danny Granger 2.0. Also Granger is injured and George will finally get his minutes and no doubt begin to excel.

I reject.

[Alex English]

I really like this deal and I think I win the trade and all, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. But I don't see how a guy that averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 30 minutes per game is too good for the 7th pick. I think there will be 5 or 6 guys available at that pick who could match or better those numbers if given the chance.

[Walt Frazier]

Well, his potential is pretty obvious to those who have watched him.

Also, yes it was one game and all, but see what he did the other night? 14, 15, 5 assists, 1 block.

Yes please. As I said, I hate it for Orlando and think it's pretty silly for his team, he has a great, young, potential laden player sitting in his lap and he doesn't even know who will be available at 7...but I agree there are some amazing players in this draft class, and he COULD get a better player than George there.

[Alex English]

Could we get the last few votes on this trade. Jimmy Hopkins is on borrowed time for his pick, then the 7th will be on the clock.

[Glenn Robinson]

If the 7th pick comes up before the trade is passed, just make the pick for Orlando and include that in the trade, assuming your trade does get passed.

[Alex English]

Yea that works if we want the same guy.

[Andrei Kirilenko]

I accept, Paul George aint that good

[Ian Noble]

Trade passed.
