I'm a little bummed about not having Saric. But I'm really stoked on Payton.

Eh, not that bad. Getting Payton is awesome though!

Too high to give up a future first to move up two spots. Probably more to this deal.

Keep in mind, those are same conditions on the pick Phily owed Orlando from Bynum deal.

Did we just draft the next Gary Payton and Shawn Marion?

Gordon and Payton. added Fournier.

Not bad, but not what the tank crew envisioned i am sure.

oh well summer league will be good.

last 4 lottery picks philly has made, theyve taken 2 injured players and 1 foreign guy to stash

Payton could EASILY be the best PG in the draft. He's a lot closer to a "pure PG" than both Exum and Smart's combo guard game. His defense also compliments our team with Aaron Gordon, I'm feelin good!.

Still wish we got Smart or Embiid though

TENACIOUS DEFENSE ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THESE GUYS. HENNY IS SO BOSS!

i dont like us trading our pick there

Post #2196 » by **Howard Mass** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:05 am

Apparently Magic staff met for thre hours with Payton's college coaches.

Woj is now saying Orlando dealt a 2015 2nd instead.

Magicman125 · Post #2197 » by **Magicman125** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:05 am

Payton
Dipo
Harris
Gordon
Vuc

...we better focus on Vuc as an offensive option because no one else has a particularly great shot...

payton > exum.....?

Post #2199 » by **FFBlitzace** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:05 am

I don't even love that trade honestly. I'd rather just wait on Saric, who I'm a big believer in, than trade that pick plus a future pick for Payton. But that's just me personally. Of course we all have our guys we like. I mean hey, apparently we're really high on Payton and wanted him all along, so I'll roll with it.

This is a pretty good draft...
