I don't understand how anyone that has played or watched this game can have that take. Whether you agree with what Payton did or not (of course we know that you literally hate Payton), what Crowder did was not usual and was a clear outward show of disrespect. Any team would be pissed off after that.

They both look like clowns.

I just find it funny that Knicks don't play with any passion or desire whole season and yet they get "offended" when something happens and you have Randle looking all mad and wanting to fight. Guy played on defense since a day he was drafted.

Westbrook is actually having a great year. Taking fewer 3s (he's terrible at them) and sharing the ball more. Probably was very close between him and Booker.

Really wanted Shake Milton last year in the 2nd round, dude was clearly capable of playing 1-2 guard slots.

still kind a sucks they didn't call Sexston. I know most of his points are worthless but still, guy averages 19ppg. There were some ultra scrubs like Lonzo in past called.

probably better bamba didn't make the rising stars game... he has a motivational problem and stuff like this can help with that.

Domantis Sabonis is an all Star. So, we technically traded two all-stars for Ibaka

Sabonis wasn't player Magic drafted. It's player OKC told them to draft to make Ibaka trade.

Despite Hennigan going in public saying he would be Magic selection as well, i highly doubt he would actually draft him.

Sabonis didn't even work out for Orlando that summer. Magic worked with Skal and there were rumors he was their choice.

So not really much to cry about. Skal ended up drafted 28th, sucked his way into third string in Blazers since. Would be just another athletic player without basketball skills on Orlando. Perfect Hennigan player.

That wouldn't be the 1st time we draft someone without working him out.

True that!

Sabonis and Adebayo are really interesting players to me. They are really unique ( much like Jokic and Vuc, Gasol bros) where they have better passing insticts than most wings. Non of them is some outside shooter but they are active playres insde paint and play super high ( not like Vuc , Jokic :lol:

)

Everybody expected Turner to be Pacers center of the future but Domas simply outworked and outskilled him.
