Exclusive All Things Scoot

[Wizard Mentor]

I really think the kinda guy we need to build around Scoot is an athletic rim rolling big. Kinda like Tyson Chandler or even young Amare.

John Collins woulda fit that mold.

The guy I have my eye on now is Nic Claxton. He needs to be target #1 in any Dame trade.

Preach!

I love Allen as well. Mentioned him a few times earlier but I dunno how feasible it is to get him.

Word I heard at the beginning of the offseason is that he's available as they're looking to give Mobley more time... if I remember correctly.

Dannh Marang says Jarett Allen is available and KAT is on the move. He sounds very convincing.

KAT. Yes, you need to pay attention

Here? Post once for yes, twice in a row for no.

I posted in a thread during the draft that we had been discussing a KAT trade. Fuzzy details, and no idea how serious. But discussed nonetheless

Good, We are going to talk about knees. I didn't start playing soccer until I was 25 so maybe that helped, but I played into my early 50's before I quit just because I was worried about the long term damage to my knees and spine. 15 years ago my one knee got so bad I could not walk. Arthritis in one knee was rated "4" which is the worst rating and "3" in the other knee. I was given a hyaluronic acid injection which got me on my feet again but doesn't have a lasting effect. But somehow I leveled out. I take a joint compound that has your usual chondroitin and glucosamine and MSM, I also do isometric exercises that work the knees sideways. Also take turmeric. Walk regularly. I'm now 78 and just in the last year have begun jogging short distances, which was somewhat painful at first but now isn't at all. One reason I haven't thought about knee surgery is that two guys I know got blood clots during the surgery and one of them ended up dying.

I forgot one thing. When they get really bad, I use a low intensity laser instrument which I bought on EBay, comes from Belarus.

I would think that those talks with Portland would be dead now that Dame asked out.

There has been a decent deal discussed with Miami. Dame is still a Blazer for a reason

If we could get him for a song…. I think we’d still do it.

Do you really believe that Marang knows anything?

If we got KAT I really would lose interest in the Blazers. Can we have at least ONE player who's not bottom five in defense at his position?

 

[Cugel]

I read MIN’s asking price for KAT recently came out as “astronomical”.

Everybody knows that KAT and Gobert can’t play together. So they have no leverage. And they gave up all their picks.

Have u been right before on your guesses?

It's why I prefer Ayton with his age, defense and smaller contract.

Never once. It’s best to disregard everything I say

 

[andalusian]

So..., yes?

I thought so Mr Woj haha

Awesome discussion about Scoot.

 

[blazerfan11]

Hadn't seen this view of Scoot beating Amen Thompson off the dribble after a hesi.
What I also hadn't seen before was that Amen fouls Scoot by hitting him on the shoulder, no play on the ball. (no foul was called.)
Scoot is fast and strong and hopefully this kind of foul will be called in the regular season.

Watch the YouTube short to see it more clearly.

No. It was Jabari Smith. He came down on him during a fast break.

Have we heard any follow up on Scoot? Also, does anyone know who Scoot and Sharpe are training with this summer?

No and no.

 

[riverman]

Scoot's father is his trainer and has a family gym...I'm sure that's where he's working out. Sharpe has a trainer I believe that he works with

Nice instagram short-video post on Scoot.

[illmatic99]

Just to note.

Scoot is now eligible to be traded and his 8.1 mil contract can be added as salary.

 

[Natebishop3]

Does anyone else think it's weird that the team isn't using him to promote season tickets next season?

That one image that HCP shared had Kris Murray on it. I haven't seen all the marketing but I have heard that Scoot isn't on any of it. Can anyone confirm?

One of the best moments in this short video is Scoot and Sharpe collapsing on Tari Eason, with Scoot poking the ball away right to Sharpe, who takes off for the easy basket.
I hope we see a lot of this kind of defense in the regular season.

Maybe they're waiting on the Lillard situation?
I won't be surprised if Lillard plays again for the Trail Blazers.
