Attitude has never been a problem with him. He is really kept to himself and really quiet. Never had any conflicts with teammates that I recall. On the court, his attitude was never a problem.

He is well liked. He is super laid back and many fans did not like that. He seems to play better when you tick him off and he feels he has something to prove. He will probably go into a shell to observe everybody and try to find his fit. Locker room issues should not be an issue though.

No wonder he became friend with Warren.

That "quietness" on the court is the problem. He's not a leader. He's a really bad defender, thinks he can turn the switch on and off when he really isnt talented enough to do that, plays well when the pressure is off of him, he's a bad 3pt shooter (The stats say otherwise but thats on one 3pt attempt per game) and his play is inconsistent. Because he was just traded you're going to see something totally different for the first few games. but once the novelty wears off you'll start picking up on some his shortcomings and how significant they are.
He's a good back up PG though. He has to have the ball in his hands to be effective, attacks the rim and finishes well, good court vision, good in transition (when the switch isnt off and hes running), and CAN be a pesky defender when engaged.

What's the purpose of this, he's not on your team anymore?

Even that's enough to get us 2-3 extra wins this year, considering we've been starting g leaguers all year, n blow the tank. Orlando did themselves a favor, cunning move to help take us out of the race for the bottom.

Its a common thing for opposing fans to come in other teams subs to **** on their former players when they get traded, they probably did the same with Dipo and Harris.

OrlandoDream wrote:Just to add to what SOUL said, I caution your expectation for Payton. I hope he proves me wrong because he might actually be a great compliment player to Booker. Yes he is a good kid but not a great NBA player. He still cant shoot consistently and has little confidence in himself. When he misses alot of shots or gets blocked he gets down on himself and it affects his shooting and defense. His play on the court is really affected by his emotions. EP is an emotional guy.
The hair....yes we know. Prety sure 99% of the fanbase has been wanting to get rid of that dead animal on his head for a while now. And yes it does affect his shot. I stopped caring a while ago and knew was not going to be with us next season.
With all that said, I wish him well. I hope he finds success in Phoenix and helps you win some games. Mostly because I want PHX out of the tank race and you guys are our biggest threat for Trae Young lol.
