Jeff Green, and a second rounder for MKG/fillers? Or what does Bobcats want for MKG? Taylor is already outperforming him.

I think MKG brings what teams need in contenders. A glue guy, and MKG reminds me of a younger/more athletically gifted player than Wallace, which is pretty scary if MKG can ever reach his ceiling. Putting in Paul Pierce, or bringing him back as a sixth man could help/mentor him.

Green can help push for a stronger playoff, and brings the 3pt shooting the Bobcats desperately needed to allow Jefferson more power in the post.

Obviously the Bobcats don't want to give him up just for Jeff Green, but maybe Ainge can dangler the 76ers pick to try to entice a trade proposal?

Charlotte at #9 may want to move up. Could be potential there for a deal.

I don't like his complete lack of three-point shooting.  In two seasons, he has taken only 18 threes and made 3 of them.  I can accept that in a bench player, but not in a starting SF.

If there is a possibility that we can nab Love from the Wolves, I don't want to jeopardize that by giving up the 6th pick.

Maybe Bobcats would like to switch the ability to switch the Nets pick, lottery protected?

Wallace has taken 11 in his first 2 seasons, and only made 1 of them. I don't like it either, but there was a reason why Wallace was a huge key piece to the Bobcats first playoff run. He hustled hard, and crashed, (pun intended,) on the boards to advance more second chance points.

Marion is even worse..

Marion took 22 3 pt shots, and only made 4 in his first year.

Second season Marion took 82 3 pt shots, and only converted 21 for a measly 25.6%

But you can't deny the fact Chandler, Marion, and Terry were also a huge reason for the run that the Mavs had.

Dirk was the MVP, but Marion played a vast role in locking down LBJ, and making it hard for entry passes.

The Bobcats' defense stumbles from a 98.8 defensive rating with MKG on the floor to 102.4 with him on the bench. Opposing small forwards are held to an 11.1 PER on average against Kidd-Gilchrist, per 82games.com.

Those are underrated numbers.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist turned in his best scoring effort of the season Wednesday night in their close loss in Game 2 of their first-round series against the Miami Heat. Surprisingly, Kidd-Gilchrist led the Bobcats with an efficient 22 points on 13 shots, scoring his most points since December of 2012. Few, if any, people thought Kidd-Gilchrist would pull out such a performance considering his notorious offensive weaknesses, especially against LeBron James and the Heat's defense.

MKG also has quick speed, and was known for the person to hustle back on defense to try to aim for the chase down block...

MKG also at one point was clocked in converting 64.7% of layups inside during the month of Feb/Jan, which is very impressive.

If Green is the key ingredient in netting us MKG, we should do it. Yes MKG has the terrible offensive deficiencies, but he is improving on his mid range which he converted at 42.9% per basketball reference, and has fantastic work ethic.

I like MKG but personally think if you just took Gordon you'd get a better version of what he gives you.

Aaron Gordon seems like a nice guy, but I don't want to make the mistake the Hornets/Bobcats did... You never draft a player that cannot be a two way forward/wing as a lottery pick... MKG should have never gone 2nd.. At best maybe late lottery...

If we net Love, trying to go after a similar model like the Mavs did in which they have a great stretching 4. MKG can be a great 3 to defend, and guard the 1st and 2nd unit. Pierce can be a great back up, or player during the crunch time where MKG is not.

The Celtics are drafting mid lotto, so Gordon is a good fit.

Really don't want Gordon here...

Gordon is compared to a quicker Shawn Marion. Fantastic. Great defender, and knows how to play the game. Unfortunately, you don't go for the Shawn Marion types if you don't have a scorer/superstars to key him into the line up to maximize his potential. Face it, if Gordon is the next best BPA, you should try to ship that off for Love.

Aaron Gordon isn't anywhere near the worth of Exum, Parker, Wiggins, Embiid, or Randle.

Plus you gotta take into account Vonleh/Smart are also two intriguing prospects. I don't know why Gordon is projected so high..

I've been saying Green/Bitor for MKG/Biyombo makes sense for both teams.  Just have to figure out what draft pick we would have to throw their way.  I don't think it has to be a lottery pick

He can't shoot, he's not an especially talented finisher, and he's not big enough to play PF.  Unless he turns into an otherworldly defender, that makes it hard to put him in your rotation.  Not interested in MKG at this point in time.
