Exclusive Vote Will Dame playing help or hurt Scoot development?

[e_blazer]

Or worn down to the point where he’s injured before a trade even happens?

Yeah, THAT’S how we get a better package for Dame lol.

Sometimes a joke is just a joke.

They are both PGs, so yes

Scottie Barnes

Haha sure, just get Masai on tape doing something illegal, then get him blackout drunk and I'm sure he'd trade Barnes for Simons + filler.

What if (by deadline) Scoot looks like a bust?

Scoot's a rookie, got to keep expectations low.
Jayden Ivey is a good example. The Pistons were horrible and Ivey would just run 1 on 4 iso's, toss up ugly shots all night. People would rip on him. But the athleticism is there, Ivey was a rookie, needs time to develop.

that may all be true

however, Scoot was heavily hyped to the point that many were saying he'd be a #1 pick in any 'normal' draft that didn't have a generational talent like Wemby. Many called him a franchise level player. And many said drafting Scoot made Dame expendable. Those are lofty evaluations. That doesn't mean he won't struggle as a rookie, but it does ratchet expectations way up. And a mediocre-for-a-rookie type season will be a disappointment after all the hype

I agree

CP3
Westbrook
Rose
Steph
Wall
Kyrie
Dame
Luka
Ja
Lamelo

They had hype and they showed. If Scoot is healthy and misses All Rookie 1st/2nd team, I think this changes the gameplan.

This of course is only hypothetical. We all know Scoot will win ROY
