[UKRAINEFAN]

Well, there is one stash candidate left; maybe now cheap enough we could buy' a big skinny Russian. Andrey Desyatnikov

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

No GP2! Damn!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nice. Hope Neil is on the phone with GP2

oops, is it over?

 

[riverman]

Don't worry Rasta...we still have Daniel Diez!

 

[tester551]

Damn. GPII signed with the Rockets.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Damn. GPII signed with the Rockets.

I'll be the first to say... FUCK GARY PAYTON 2

 

[riverman]

I'm not on the GPII bandwagon...I've heard bad things from guys who played with him in Corvalis...no thanks

 

[santeesioux]

Let's bring in Elgin Cook to our SL team.

Like what? This is the first I've heard that he wasn't a good teammate.

 

[HailBlazers]

Neil wants shooters.

 

[MickZagger]

Sign Kyle Wiltjer to SL roster.

 

[illmatic99]

Houston signed GP 2 to a 3 yr deal. lol not being drafted might have worked out better for him

 

[Trackjack]

I never seen him play but his stats seems he can shoot the ball. But I won't down anyone until he has the chance either prove his self or not. So I will wait and see out look.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Like what? This is the first I've heard that he wasn't a good teammate.

I've heard he is the next Antonio cromartie... 11 kids with 10 sorority sisters at OSU.

 

[riverman]

He has on and off the court issues and an attitude problem according to people who've spent time around him..I've seen him a few times at the gym there but don't really know the kid..second hand info from my son's classmates up there..

 

[jlprk]

Just like the old man. Sonic fans ignored his personality for years so that they could like him. I've posted anecdotes here before.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Workout wonder Dorian Finney-Smith also went undrafted. I bet he'd be fun to see in summer league.

I attended OSU at the same time as Gary Payton (Sr.). Had a class with him too. My best friend at the time was the Residents Assistant in the dorm with Gary Payton. I'm not a fan of him personally. Rude. Arrogant. Disruptive. Disrespectful. Knowing him personally really turned me off to watching college basketball for many years.

Tell us how you really feel. Also, I think you can still level up your misogyny skills. Keep working on it. You'll get there.

Perhaps vagina would work. Or perhaps hairy vagina would work better.

 

[PDXFonz]

Would love to see GP2 on the summer league team.

If he couldn't make it work attitude wise in Portland than he won't be able to make it work anywhere. Sounds like we have one of the most chill player atmospheres in the league with the players environment and star player not playing favorites.

You've become a rockets fan?!

His biggest weakness is that he's a pussy. Gaining weight won't fix that.

I also think he has narrow shoulders, which don't think spells for much added strength.

 

[PDXFonz]

You've become a rockets fan?!

Hell no

Shit well there goes that. We were talking about how Houston was in play for drafting Payton since he fills a defensive need for them, and they like Harden handling the ball. Good fit for Payton.

This is true...but why take the risk when there are high character options with talent?

 

[MickZagger]

He's going to be used as a SF. How much bulk does he need?

Where are those options?

Portland needs someone with some attitude. I don't see any "better" fits for backup PG than GPII.

He's going to be used as a SF. How much bulk does he need?

Layman isn't quick enough to guard the SF in the NBA. I think his only shot of sticking is becoming a small ball 4.
