I don't think that Dame is so on board with a one and done pick at 3 as some reporters are reporting without a source.


We better make a fucking move and it better not just be Porzingis. It better be a superstar (Zion), an all nba guy (Siakam) or multiple guys that could get to that level (Bridges and Claxton). While we're at it we better give him a bench for the first time in his career.

are you really going to react that way to that completely misleading tweet? It's not what you apparently think it is

you need to follow it...all it's talking about is some paranoia in the Wizard's front office about the Beal market drying up if Dame enters the market. Again, that tweet is completely based upon vague Wizard paranoia, not any intelligence they have about Dame's intentions, and in fact seems based upon pretty old information

think about it...that deceptive tweet kind of serves a purpose for the Wizards of possibly stirring up the currents around the Blazers. Hey, maybe the Blazer front office will get stupid because of that tweet and be more willing to trade 3 for KP.

people really need to understand that NBA front offices are either completely silent or busy pumping out waves of malarkey

This is why it is crazy to think Portland can contend this year. How many players away are they? I'm counting at least four, and this is while upgrading Nurk which is probably a fifth player while keeping Dame, Sharpe and Grant. Possibly keeping Ant, but he is a big trade chip. Very tall order.

Exactly.

C - can be good....sometimes
_F - certainly no 'power' there
SF - very small for quite sometime
SG - too small, no defense, and better as a PG, although not really a PG either
PG - finally, one spot we have covered.

I think Ant has value but not playing with Dame (as long as Dame is averaging around 35 minutes). So I think Ant can be traded to Orlando for Gary Harris, WCJ and 11. I think that the smoke from NOLA that they are only interested in pick 3 (Scoot) for other first rounders (pick 14 this draft and future firsts) is just smoke. I think they are sick of the Zion Williamson and would trade Zion for pick 3 (Scoot), Nurk and Gary Harris.

We end up with Dame, Shae, Jeremi, Zion, WCJ, Lively (pick 11), Matisse, Javon Carter (TPMLE) and Nas. I think that rotation challenges for the title if healthy, which I understand is a big if.

If the idea of getting the exact right players in the draft with all of that, then just keep the #3. Thats just funny lmao.

The idea was to get a superstar in Zion that we can hopefully keep healthy and a C that makes more sense running the defense that Chauncey preaches and spreads the floor since Zion will take up a lot of room in the post on offense. Getting a quality backup big at 11 is just something I think would be doable if we were trading Ant and pick 23 to the Magic. If the Magic were stubborn and all they would give up for Ant were WCJ and Gary Harris then we would probably want to take GG Jackson with pick 23 because he is rumored to be slipping to the end of the first round right now and could still provide backup minutes at the 4 and 5.

The idea is to build a starting unit that is better than any that Dame has played with and actually have a bench that can play big minutes which is something Dame has never had.

One spot we have covered on offense.
 
I’m so curious what trades are on the table for Miller if Scoot goes 2.

I’m not sure what NBA team even wants a long, athletic shooter who also is a great distributor?

Every team needs a 6'9 player who can shoot, pass, and defend. Miller is it. Especially us, we should draft him if available. Young Tatum on the cheap. Get veterans by other means.

If Scoot is there, that's when you look to trade the pick (unless you trade Dame which is not likely). There will be demand for Scoot so we should get an equitable return. If the offers are bad (from teams trying to use the Dame drama against us) I personally take Amen over Scoot

I said the same in the other thread

I had no idea I needed to make it green font
 
Woj and Givony saying Scoot and Miller are both working out again in Charlotte while also meeting MJ.

Fischer had previously said they were simply having dinner.

Think people should get a fairly good idea of their selection soon after the workouts. Agents don't stay quiet.
