Like someone said in the GB...Payton with a haircut is worth a 1st round pick.

Get this man to the hair salon...preferably a different one than the one Bledsoe went to!

We needed someone to play PG...why not, worth a 2nd round pick to take a chance on him turning out to be decent.

Just need to get Booker and Sauce healthy and that is infinitely better than what we've been running out there the last couple games.

Elfrid improves this team so fast. More balance in the roster.

Ulis has struggled a lot on both sides of the court, I think he is gonna play better ball as a pure backup. He will have more energy playing just a few minutes per game.

By the numbers Payton is a huge upgrade over our other point guards ... http://bkref.com/tiny/G7VoK

Only problem is pro-tankers will be screaming when they realize this almost guarantees Orlando gets more ping-pong balls than us.

It was already guaranteed.

I haven't seen much of him, but I'm interested in seeing what he's got. But we'd better sign him to something if he's going to impact our wins n losses.

I think we have a much harder schedule for the rest of the season than the Magic and ... our record is 18-38 while theirs is 17-36. I'm not sure who is trashier.

The heat coming off each dumpster fire feels equal to me.

Well, Orlando did start out the season 6-2, beating the likes of SAS, CLE, MIA, NOP and MEM before Conley went down...and Brooklyn.

Coincidentally, Payton missed the first 10 games of the season.

Vucevic has been out about the last 20 games and is about to return, maybe tonight. Isaac has been out and comes back soon too I believe.

They played well to start the year with Augustin.

This guy is going to be our PG savior.

Who needs trae young?

With the addition of Elfrid Payton, does this change the FO's draft strategy?
