I still think Payton is EASILY a top 10 point guard in the NBA... That is something that Boston clearly did not have prior to the trade, (however it looks like they still do not have it after the trade)!!!

Give the guy the respect he deserves... He may not have showed a great deal of skill last year, but he was in a system he HATED that did not utilize his talent properly!

Had Phil stayed, this would not have even happened because Gary would not have played for the triangle another year!

Eh well, shitty deal for both clubs now!
