I don't really understand the thinking on this:

I like Simmons as the first guy off the bench. It's nice to have a player like him to provide firepower and tough D off the bench. He's still top 5 on the team in minutes and he tends to be in the game at the end of games.

He is also a bit of a ball hog, which is fine off the bench where you need a guy to score, but our starting five generally does a good job sharing the ball around.

Many nba people have suggested that Payton is going to screw up our offense.  

I don't know.  Dude might live at the rim

Maybe but if he's not capable of hitting a shot, defenders will just sag off and take away his driving ability.

Payton shot is better.. 

That remains to be seen, though it did show promise in the first couple games. We'll see once we have a bigger sample size.

He could just attack the defender.  The spacing is there now to just take a guy 1 on 1.

Today is one of those beautiful days when both my Orlando Magic and FC Porto play. Big wins coming, hopefully

Stop bragging! I have to watch my team play on Thursday nights now :( But hopefully Porto's result is a pre cursor for Orlando's!

Yes, just came here to brag about our win, even if it was tougher than the score shows. I think we'll beat Memphis with or without Conley

Gasol may be out as well.
