Skywise316 211 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 I'm back! Glad to be back after a lengthy absence from a changed email address, but was lurking most of the day and want to thank you all for the lurking entertainment. I also had my heart set on Exum or Smart, but I come away satisfied with our Gordon/Payton combo. Glad that we don't have to worry about Embiid's back/foot/bolting to the Lakers, glad we don't have Saric stashed overseas either. It's worth two draft picks to me to have Payton instead of Saric never coming over here! I still don't get that Aaron Afflalo trade at all, but I'll give Henny a solid B today. We'll see if these guys pan out down the road, only time will tell. Go Magic~! (thanks Dan) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jec 427 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 The people that hated Otis forget the 2008/2009 team we had. The 2010 team was much better. We had no business losing to Boston. Anyway, I like Gordon. Just came out of left field, so I was a bit stunned, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. He's a great athlete who plays defense. Hopefully he can blossom into a great player. People say we drafted a role player, but that's insulting to thie kid's potential. i'd say he's a solid role player at worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 Find me a single player who shot in the 40s from the free throw line in college that became a decent NBA shooter. you're exaggerating a bit (he shot around 60%) but that's not my biggest problem with him. We gave up a good amount to get him, so if he doesn't pan out it'll be a clear setback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We gave up a good amount to get him, so if he doesn't pan out it'll be a clear setback. You're talking about two different players, he's referring to Gordon's 42%. Payton shot 60%.
