Scoot on the other hand could be the press conference MVP for this team.

Kevin Knox speaks eloquently as well

Thank you

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I just don't see how they're going to find minutes for all these guards.

If Brogdon is here 20 healthy games or less it's fine.

If more??? Yeah don't see how that can work long term.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

A three-man rotation is 32 mpg. I'm not sweating it. Ant is a true combo guard. Ant/Scoot, Ant/Shae, Scoot/Shae. All three combos work. We can even run some three guard sets.

Yeah I'm good with Sharpe playing a couple brief minutes at SF; don't want that as a starting or bulk of his minutes spot though.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Speaking of Ayton's happiness to be here, Matisse always gives me the "I can take it or leave it being here" kind of vibes. Maybe it's just his personality? But he doesn't seem like he's really excited to be on this team.

He's just like that, calm and calculated and critically thinking.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Rob is listed at 6'9?

We could put out a five-man lineup where he's the shortest guy on the court.

Is he REALLY the same height as Jabari? Are Ant and Scoot REALLY the same height (remember that photo we were arguing over)?

...I wonder if his happiness would change with a new agent!?

 

[B-Roy]

The media lobbed some pretty softball questions to Joe.

 

[PCmor7]

They had this one tall dude who was maybe a top 20 player ever in the history of the game. Tim something

Tim Apple.

Shh, you might rile up the people who think length can't make up for height when it comes to defense.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Rob is listed at 6'9?

We should start John Butler Jr; he could turn sideways and literally disappear.

 

[illmatic99]

The media lobbed some pretty softball questions to Joe.

what else did you want them to ask?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I think that Scoot will emerge as The Guy.

...after we trade Ant

 

[maxiep]

We should start John Butler Jr; he could turn sideways and literally disappear.

"2D" would be a good nickname for him.

 

[PCmor7]

I can't believe you forgot his last name. It rhymes with a donut shop

Tim Bimbi.

 

[Everything Beagle]

...after we trade Ant

Probably about a month before we trade Ant, and a week before negotiations begin with the destination team.

 

[PCmor7]

Tim Voodoo Doughnut

 

[inconceivable]

what else did you want them to ask?

Are you planning on trading Malcolm Brogdon?

Follow up question. Do you really mean that or you're only saying that to preserve his trade value?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

But we aren’t trying to win. Depth is amazing when you’re a playoff team, but this could stand in the way of getting minutes for Scoot or Shae.

I almost always agree with you, but not here. I think we should be trying to win, and that we are trying to win. Being competitive is the best message to send to Scoot.

 

[illmatic99]

Are you planning of trading Malcolm Brogdon?

a similar question was asked.

the only thing i was interested in hearing from Joe is about tanking allegations going public.

"Excuse me, John, Inconcievable from S2... yes, are you a good liar? And if so, can you tell me a convincing lie?"

 

[blazerfan11]

I almost always agree with you, but not here. I think we should be trying to win, and that we are trying to win. Being competitive is the best message to send to Scoot.

There's no way this team is going to try to lose. IMO, it's not even set up very well to guarantee losses.

 

[blazerfan11]

If I were Joe I'd answer by asking "what is your source?" The reporters answer would be Joe's answer.

 

[illmatic99]

Jerami revealed that he has been asked by the team about playing the 3.

Hmm. That suggests they're possibly considering going super big with him/Williams/Ayton.

 

[Pinwheel1]

It sounded like Chauncey has a pretty good relationship with Brogdon. I wonder if that factors in at all.

 

[maxiep]

I think I would pass out if we ever had the size advantage in the frontcourt.

 

[inconceivable]

Of course. Makes a big difference. Just like Dame with Terry in Milwaukee. Familiarity and relationship is huge factor.

That may have been prior to the Boston trade. They may have asked when considering other offers for Dame.
Either way, I think it will be situational....like against the Lakers
