Mario has more potential than a 2nd round pick, IMO. Guy is in the doghouse in Orlando (though he's looked good this year when he plays). Has right combo of shooting, size, playmaking, to be a good SF. Maybe a Gallinari ceiling.

I mostly agree, I just think you could potentially have both. I'd prolly trade a 2nd for him just not this years, unless it was protected for 31-35 for example. I'm reluctant to give up this year's 2nd since I'm pretty sure it will be in the top 5, there always seems to be guys in that range that are great value picks. Beyond that it's mostly a crapshoot so I wouldn't care as much. We seem to be doing a good job getting undrafted talent better than a lot of mid-late 2nd's anyway. The Magic had interest in DFS last year according to that leaked photo IIRC. I'd give them dodo in a heartbeat for the upside of Mario. If it took dodo and a shitty future 2nd I'd do that too.

Mario is only 22 and has plenty of potential. He will def. get picked up in free agency. Seeing how we have started, its obvious we aren't going anywhere while Orlando is actually playing decent ball. I wonder if they would be willing to take some of our bad contracts (Matthews and Powell).
