Willie Green open to exploring return to Magic

Orlando Magic guard Willie Green played in 52 of a possible 82 games for a team which finished with a 25-57 record. 

That represented the fewest games in which he played since the 2005-06 season, but his average of 18.3 minutes per contest was the highest for Green since the 6-foot-3 guard was a member of the New Orleans Hornets in 2010-11. And the perspective he can provide after more than a decade in the league suggests better times are ahead for the Magic.

Even if that requires accepting a reduction in minutes to let Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton get a better feel for one another, Green appears willing to oblige.

"I'm definitely open to being back here in Orlando," he said. "I like the foundation that the team has. I like our young fellas, and I think I can help them on and off the floor. So if that possibility is open, then I'm definitely open to exploring it."
