J-ALL-DAY Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 1 hour ago, Kampfgeist said: I'm okay if they ultimately settle on Miller. Unlimited range and a good fit with Melo for sure. We desperately need a good scoring wing even with the fn asshat Miles Bridges coming back and Hayward for one more season. I think Miller settles in as a Mikal Bridges in Brooklyn type player and I'll take average D w a 26.1 4.5 2.7 statline I actually think Henderson and Ball will fit as well. They are already running with Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball and Scoot is (or will be) a vastly superior player to Rozier. TR has averaged 16, 16.4 and 18.9 shots per game over the last three years so it's not like Scoot would be limited in opportunities on ball. Ja Morant and Shai Gilgeous have proven you don't need to be a sharpshooter from deep to be an All-NBA level guard It can work but Scoot is going to need to become a better shooter. Rozier can operate better off the ball and is a MUCH better catch and shoot shooter. But I always believe in talent being able to figure it out so I am not saying this will fail. Just think if the Hornets rate Miller/Henderson even or similarly, then fit wise Miller could be the pick. Hornets should be fine with either guy.

Then you don't trade it. I get the GM is saying he wants to do right by Dame, but I doubt he'd trade the pick for 50 cents on the dollar just to get OG Anuboby and some scraps. I don't know who would be available. If I'm trading with Toronto, it's Pascal + 13 or bust, not OG Anunoby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Lance Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Feels like Dame is holding the franchise hostage. I get the Blazers want to be loyal and trade Dame when he requests it but both parties need to recognize it's still a business. I also find it hard to say the Blazers would screw over Dame by trading him despite all they have done for him. It goes both ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 6'8 wing with 3 point range & the size/athleticism to match up with the superstar wings in the league. I absolutely see why he is getting top 3 buzz. I thought teams were spooked that he could be implicated as an accessory in a murder case, or is he in the clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah. He seems like an epic piece of trash, but as a player he’s good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown might never lead to a ship, but he can get us back to being watchable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not going to speak on his off the court stuff. But as a player I think he can be a better version of Rudy Gay or Danny Granger level of player.

A less freak version, but s 6’8 dude who had SG skills is rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texansfan713 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 I would shriek downtown Houston if Scoot fell to number 4. Unfortunately I dont see that happening. I'd rather George if he fell to 20 over Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sharpe/Amen can play with Dame now and they'd give the Blazers a dynamic wing duo to build around if they decide to rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
