    Seems like Rockets wanted Payton all along, ballsy move by Morey. It was one that paid off, but not a smart one IMO.

    Wow. Besides the $1.2M, we paid the better of the Lakers' or Wolves' 2019 2nd round picks. Not our own 2nd round pick. At least one of those teams will suck, so the pick will be early in the 2nd round. To get this year's mid-round pick.

    I suppose enough so that he's not targeted as a prime post-up opportunity.

    Grade: D





    The Blazers had just one pick, and used it on a guy who probably won't be in the NBA for very long.





    Yes, Layman was a projected first-round pick coming into the year. But after watching him against elite talent at the Nike Skills Academy last summer (and in the Big Ten this year), I think he might want to consider getting his passport updated.

    While the jury is obviously still out on this kid, how can you give a team with no picks a D when they got a pick and picked someone at value
