A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

Not liking what's being reported to get him. Giving up a first to move up two picks , ouch!

Re: Welcome to Orlando #12 PG Elfrid Payton
So is it just Saric for Payton straight up, or are we throwing in a little extra?

Sixers may have picked him so Denver would't get him.

Re: Welcome to Orlando #12 PG Elfrid Payton
Seems there are conflicting reports. If it's a second round pick that's entirely different.

We're giving back the 1st rounder to them from the Dwight trade

Re: Welcome to Orlando #12 PG Elfrid Payton
The main thing I like here is that it will allow Oladipo to focus on becoming an all-star SG.
I also don't view Gordon as a tweener but as a full-on defensive PF, so that works next to Vuc, for sure.
Oh and I love Payton as a prospect so the draft has been salvaged somewhat now (although still not super-duper excited).

Re: Welcome to Orlando #12 PG Elfrid Payton
All things said, Henny must have seen more in a combo of Gordon + Payton than he would have got from Exum + Saric/Payne. I can live with that.
we've now got a team that's high energy, athletic as hell, tenacious on defense.
Harris and Dipo are going to be our go-to scorers next season (Payton may surprise, too). If Vaughn can get Vuc more comfortable in the post, he might too.
I'm just hoping that Payton can develop a 3pt shot, and that Dipo can return to a high % outside shooter, too.

Re: Welcome to Orlando #12 PG Elfrid Payton
I'm putting my faith in Hennigan here but man, that offense will be equal parts exciting and ugly. Maybe more of the latter. That team will be running a lot and putting together some nice highlights but not having a single guy who can shoot is bad news.

All our players topped out in potential end up in
Payton - Rondo
Oladipo - Wade
Harris - Melo
Gordon - Griffin
