Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 24, 2015 Would you trade Payton and a pick for Lowry? ;)/> Probably not. Lowry is notoriously hard to deal with and might be past his prime. I'd trade Payton for curry, Westbrook, Paul, lillard, wall, Teague, Irving, maybe Eric Bledsoe (I'm having a tough time deciding with him). That's about it. If Conley was younger he would be on the list too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~O~ 565 Report post Posted October 24, 2015 I'm not sure what the "real Magic fan" comment meant not that it really matters but just to be clear I am in no way a fan of Eddie House. Napier just reminds me of him as far as his role and game. Luckily Napier is on our team and I'm not forced to hate his guts. Dude I'm only half serious most of the time. Don't stress it. Its not like I was saying you were a fan of Eddie House or some where along those lines. There's just a couple of players throughout our history that I in particular will never like. Eddie House is one of them. Rafer slapped him for a reason you know. During that series and throughout his career, Eddie House could not shut his *****ing mouth. It was him and Mo Williams who were the peak of annoyance for us from 07-10. \ As I mentioned earlier today, Jon Barry is probably the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mo Williams landed on my **** list once he complained about not making the all star team the year Jameer made it over him. Ironically I hated JJ when he was at Duke but he ended up growing into a top 3 Magic player for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Conley was younger he would be on the list too. I would trade him for all the guys you mentioned except (maybe) Bledsoe I think Conley's game will age well -- Lowry was suggested because I understand he's 29 and it would be a similar situation to the Carmelo trade. I would still pull the trigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywise316 211 Report post Posted October 24, 2015 Getting slightly concerned about Payton.. Haven't seen him play well at all since last season, and now I hope that they're just being cautious with him and that he can play ASAP in the regular season. At least we have Watson and Napier to fall back on. It's such a strange feeling having actual point guard depth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least we have Watson and Napier to fall back on. It's such a strange feeling having actual point guard depth! It's strange we looking good even WITHOUT Payton. The depth we now have is scary good. We really underachieved with the talent we had one year ago. This year we will maximize our strengths and actually overachieve. In time we will see how intelligently crafted this team really is. We have a team of multifaceted players. Sad, but Payton doesn't fit currently because he has a poor shot. Good that despite his absence, we've shown some promise in the pre-season. I believe he will still fit in time, and I do hope he is ok health wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franchero MVP 391 Report post Posted October 24, 2015 If anyone can make Payton a great PG, it's going to be former PG Skiles. I'm not worried about it, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywise316 211 Report post Posted October 25, 2015 I just meant I'm concerned from a health stand point, more so than the skills thing. Even if he never develops more than a mid-range shot, Payton could be Rondo without the head case part. Wouldn't be a bad result at all for the 10th pick in the Draft.
