Well, I don't think the people write the reports are ridiculous...... they're getting clicks, which is the whole point. They're doing their jobs and we're the ones who are giving them attention.

So option 2 is the most ridiculous.... however I'm not sure how many people fully believe these reports. We talk about them because there's nothing else to do.

Which brings us to option 3....

Again, option 3 would've been the easy winner, which is why I left it off!

I agree the water-carrying reporters are not being ridiculous, as they're making money.

I disagree that people aren't somewhat buying a lot of these reports based on how worked up I'm seeing the comments on here and rants on YouTube about things that have a low probability of happening. I'm all for discussing the implications and legitimacy of the report. When conclusions are drawn that the front office is stupid because there is a report they are consindering an Ant and #3 trade for Porzingis trade; that seems a bit much to me. There should be some degree of critial thinking.
 
I think one thing and not sure I have seen this brought up at least recently is even if we do draft at 3 be it Scoot , Miller or whoever the pick is could still be traded before end of the night I believe. I do think the Blazers have some standing offers for who is there but very good chance they will need a little more time to work out any trade. I think some believe once we pick at 3 then Dame will be like screw the Blazers and demand a trade and all is lost or whatever. It's not it's just the beginning of a process that will prolly not play out fully til mid July or maybe later. I do not care if your pro Scoot , Miller or Trade I would not get to high or low on that pick until later on down the line or at least until Dame asks out cause that would mean the Blazers have made there choice. This drama will play out of over many days not one night so try not to get too up or too down but it's tough cause right now I am wired and hard not to worry but - Go Blazers and let's see what happens.

Yeah I could see the Blazers drafting Scoot or Miller at 3 and very much exploring trades with them/Ant/Nurk/etc over the next two weeks.

Usually draft picks lose value after the draft - this is a bit different as there is a clear top3 in this draft. Its more similar to the Wiggins draft where he later was traded for Kevin Love. Its much different than trading pick #23 or an average first round draft trade where it loses a lot of value post draft as teams may have wildly different players they would select.

If the Blazers do use pick #3 then Cronin press conference will be must watch TV for Blazer fans. Normally they say yes were keeping player x and he will play in summer league. If he doesn't say something like that there could still be trades in negotiation.
 
Heard yesterday that Woj wasn’t going to be tweeting out the picks ahead of time this year. Focusing on the broadcast or something like that. I bet ESPN was getting pissed at him for doing this.

The belief is that there will be so many moves that he will need to stay focused on those and will leave Shams the crums.

Fantastic news
 
I've always said if Stephen A can be a commetator,analyst, whatever the fuck you want to call him, than anyone can. I literally have never agreed with him on anything. Him and Skip Bayless are two of the worst things to ever happen to sports.
 
With all of the odds changing to Scoot at 2, I'm much more comfortable with keeping the pick if it's Miller who fills a need on this roster. I still don't know how keeping the pick will go over with Dame. A lot of waiting and seeing to do.

I usually “hate” when people do this, but… FTFY!

If all of this Scoot to Charlotte talk is true I do think that a package of Ant and Miller might be more attractive to a lot of teams than a package of Ant and Scoot.

Says the guy who is/was writes the articles.
 
Woj is still saying that he thinks the Hornets take Miller. He is using the same reasoning I had the day before yesterday when the odds shifted towards Scoot at 2. Miller has been reportedly Charlotte's guy for the entire predraft process and Woj doesn't see anything that has happened to significantly change that.

This will be a really interesting evening.

The new owners will supposedly be in the draft room.

So, I mean, new ownership could *significantly* change that.
