    Living in Orlando, watching Mario play sometimes in these past years has been mostly painful, if you watched him on a day to day basis you would see why he was a borderline bust

  • @joshyan1458
    @joshyan1458 6 лет назад +76

    He's averaging like 18 points in february while playing power forward despite being a natural shooting guard which is pretty impressive

  • @iReece4498
    @iReece4498 6 лет назад +47

    As a Magic fan, declining Hezonjas option was stupid even when he was trash, because they should've kept him under team control in case he improved (which he has). The only "pro" of declining his option was saving the $5.2m he would've been owed in his 4th year. Now he has improved AND he'll be unrestricted AND the Magic can only offer $5.2m because of league rules about declining team options.
    I'll admit that I've always been a Mario supporter but this isn't bias. It was a decision that looked bad at the time and looks even worse now. Hope he re-signs but I doubt he will.

    The magic traded away Oladipo, Sabonis, Tobias Harris, Ibaka, Payton and Moe Harkless, who are all rotation level players at least, and all they got back were Terrence Ross and 2nd round picks.

  • @iReece4498

    The Magic can only offer him $5.2m MAX due to league rules about declining team options.

  • @zip_fische3423
    @zip_fische3423 6 лет назад +9

    I feel like players such as Hezonja are the main reason why good teams stay good and bad teams stay bad {the Elfrid Payton trade is another example of this}; in a few years, Hezonja could be a starting-caliber wingman. If Orlando isn't smart enough to resign him (which they aren't), then he could be a very reliable asset for a contending team, such as the spurs.
    I see him as a great 3-and-D player (ex. Evan Fournier).

    • @tylersanders6703
      @tylersanders6703 6 лет назад

      Fournier is a solid player but not great.

    • @zip_fische3423
      @zip_fische3423 6 лет назад

      That's the point that I'm making: Hezonja could be very solid for a contending team.

  • @maksimum018
    @maksimum018 6 лет назад +21

    San Antonio should sign Hezonja and maybe go for Julius Randle to get younger and better.

    • @kingham5586
      @kingham5586 6 лет назад +2

      maksimum018 Randle doesn’t make sense for them

    • @cjlawes6267
      @cjlawes6267 6 лет назад +9

      The spurs would probably turn him into a all-star

    • @maksimum018
      @maksimum018 6 лет назад +1

      @King Ham In the long term he does, LA can play maybe 2 years more and that would give Randle time to learn the system and come of the bench and play a lot of minutes, maybe they can even play together. Spurs can't keep finding gems in the draft all the time and it's a perfect opportunity to get younger without giving up anything also it shows Kawaii that he has someone younger to play with.

      @iReece4498 6 лет назад

      Ryan Collins Statistically, he's not been awful this year. He's smart and knows where to be but he's just so damn slow and unathletic.

    • @mattv6039
      @mattv6039 6 лет назад

      He's Ryan Anderson level in the sense that he can be a productive and valuable offensive piece but he is beyond a negative on the defensive side. If you're not careful with your rotations when he's on the floor, you're gonna end up hemorrhaging points

    •  6 лет назад +4

      That's a mith. Vucevic is an average defender. Don't know where people get this from.

  • @marksngxd
    @marksngxd 6 лет назад

    Declining the team option was more for a courtesy to Hezonja rather than the Magic not really seeing anything in him. I'm sure they did, but with Ross and Simmons at the 3, Gordon and Isaac at the 4, it seemed pretty packed at Forward. It's now more for Hezonja's decision of whether or not he wants to stay for the max of ~5M per year.

    The Magic had very good rotational to solid borderline star players in their team the last few years and was literally an all star level player away from really competing in the East. Plus all the players they traded away were young. Their front office has been inept and it's a shame that they are not competing in the East now.

    I think Hezonja would be great for the Hawks, and this isn't my Bias speaking. Atlanta has been an absolute monster when it comes to developing Wings with Carroll and THJ being good enough to command big money, Korver being a instant bucket for the Cavs, Bazemore being a two way monster and Prince on the rise, He could really strive there on a team that wants youth.
