We’ve seen guys like IT and Jalen Brunson have break out years, and reach new heights, by going to a new situation that was a much better fit. Is there anyone else in NBA history you think could have similarly had this level of elevation had they moved to a more favourable situation?

Payton is good enough to be a starter for a bunch of teams and playing more for most teams. But he’s sacrificing to be on a championship team. It’s not that long ago that he was so upset with his playing time that he demanded a trade.
