Payne needs another finishing move besides that one handed scoop.

I am in a long distance relationship with Porter

I wanted him so bad on draft night. I was hoping we would trade up for him up until the deal for Mikal was announced. Everyone else had dreams of Ayton and Doncic or Ayton and Trae but as MPJ kept falling I thought we could realistically get a deal done to move up for him without breaking the bank.

Of course our bank had a bunch of Canadian penny's and pesos in it so it wouldn't have mattered how much we paid.

I didn't know much about him then, but I can see why.

Yeah, I kind of thought about that, too. Hindsight is 20-20, of course, but I considered he might have been worth the bit of risk at the time.
