Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 21, 2016 I mean, if DeAndre Jordan is an All-NBA player.... Yeah but he's a center. That doesn't count Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odin 137 Report post Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah but he's a center. That doesn't count I know, was just joking. Here are the players considered all nba forwards over the past 5 years Lebron James Kevin Durant Kevin Love Blake Griffin Paul George LaMarcus Aldridge Anthony Davis Tim Duncan Carmelo Anthony Dirk Nowitski David Lee Kwahi Leonard Draymond Green He definitely has the talent to squeeze himself into that conversation.

Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted July 21, 2016 I think it is a mistake to say the Magic picked Fournier over Oladipo, which seems to be propagating all over the place. If both needed to be signed this year, and the magic picked Fournier, then they picked Fournier over Oladipo. If OKC stated that they wanted one of either Fournier or Oladipo, then we picked Fournier over Oladipo. However, what they really did was pick Ibaka over Dipo. This is pretty much why I will be sincerely pissed if Ibaka doesn't re-sign. Oladipo is definitely a better overall player than Fournier, but that's not the point. As long as Ibaka is better for this team than Oladipo, the trade works. If he sucks or leaves, I'll be pissed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted July 22, 2016 Interesting article... [/size]http://orlandomagicd...-evan-fournier/ You forget one thing important. OKC would not have taken Fournier over Dipo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalina Maria 64 Report post Posted July 22, 2016 @KeithSmithNBA: The word from USA Basketball practices is that Aaron Gordon's jumper and handle look better than ever. Key as he'll play SF a lot this year. It's time to hand AG the keys to the Magic Kingdom. I've said it before. He's our best player and will be a perennial all star. 19/8/4 this season.

Jason Funderburker 111 Report post Posted July 22, 2016 I still think Gordon provides the best mismatch at 4, but if he can turn into Kawhi I won't be mad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
