We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

That would be very interesting. He would be a good fit with the Blazers. The Blazers have what he lacks (outside shooting, or maybe any shooting) and he has what the Blazers lack , insane speed going up the court, dynamic passing, good size at the wing, and hopefully someday soon, great point-of-attack defense. Also help defense around the hoop.
Amen's defensive potential is way beyond Scoot's or Miller's.

 

I’m very high on amen. I’m curious to hear how he does in the workouts

 

I agree the sample sizes are likely too small to reach any substantial conclusions. I'm not persuaded by the "5 more makes" argument though because with 5 more misses he would have been under 18%. That would be really bad. It's probably the case that he would have been more likely to make more three's than miss more three's, but we really don't know which direction he might have gone. It's a small sample but it's the only one we have

 

Why does it have to be one or the other? Why can’t it be “neither”?

 

Scoot isn’t afraid to shoot, that’s what matters the most to me.

 

I'd just add that Houston, at 4 would love Scoot and a trade would certainly be possible. Not sure about the idea of Amen over Scoot/Miller. Anything is possible.

 

if they like Scoot that much, and Portland doesn't (but doesn't reveal that to Houston), Maybe the Blazers can leverage the 4 + 20 out of the Rockets. I'd like if the Blazers could steal Sengun, but that's probably too much to ask for

 

Neither is Westbrook. Teams have started defending him below the 3 point line.

 

Celtics looking shaky...may get swept

how many are OK with #3 + Ant for Brown? Will it take more or are the Celtics headed for a cliff?

and how much more would be OK?

 

Nothing more.

 

If we like Amen and Scoot is there I wonder what Hou would give us to switch picks? I’d want Sengun as part of the deal.

 

Brown is starting to scare me. I have a feeling whoever is picked at 3 will be better than him.

 

I should have said 2 stars

 

I think this is a win win for both teams and a good situation for Ant as well as Brown

 

He sure doesn’t seem to rise to the occasion.

 

Scoot

 

Perfect time to buy low!

 

Great. Don’t trade the 3rd pick.

 

The #3 pick for a 26 year old 2nd Team All-NBA player would be buying low.

Typically those guys are nearly unobtainable.

 

Brown has one year left on his contract. Then’s he’s unrestricted.
