We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

Yeah that is a little too risky for my blood.

 

If they could come out of the offseason with this starting five, I personally would consider this to be one of the best GM accomplishments in Blazer history. Barring them trading every future asset they have.
I think it would also be much easier to lure FA's on good contracts to fill out the bench than it ever has. Not the youth movement I would like to see, but it also wouldn't mean a shortened window, too.

 

Screw Indiana. Literally. I'm not interested in dealing with them unless we're screwing them over.

 

If we could make something like this work, I'd go for it. Even if we weren't screwing Indy.

 

She knows her stuff better than most draft people. Was really high on Shaedon last year.

Listen to her gushing about Scoot.

 

Yup. She was one of the people that really sold me on Shae.

 

She says, "I see Scoot and Brandon as almost equal consolation prizes"

A couple of other interesting notes:

• Thinks Amen, Ausar, Brandon and Scoot can immediately help a team win now.
• Says the game caters to tall, long, athletic guards and says explicitly she is talking about Amen, Ausar, and Miller with this comment.
• Schmitz apparently LOVED Amen

Then some chatter about later draft picks.

 

Very nice episode. I liked listening to her.

 

any cliff notes for this?

 

She is an analyst that I highly recommend listening to. The whole thing.

I'm also listening to this one

 

that would be a bold & risky pick by Portland if Scoot or Miller was available.

holy crap...here's thought: Charlotte shocks the world and takes Amen. Then Portland has to choose between Scott or Miller...yikes!

 

Easy choice.

 

Miller all day, every day, and twice on sunday.

Easy.

 

I am more and more convinced that there is no way we keep #3 if it's Scoot.

There is about a 10% chance we keep it if's Miller.

And a 90% chance that pick is traded for whatever the hell we can get for it.

 

Schmitz has never loved him like Amen and Scoot.

 

I've never really seen Schmidt's take on Brandon Miller, so I've got no idea.

But his former partner thinks Miller is #2, ahead of Scoot, so I wonder how far he differs.

 

He had a list before the season.

 

I feel like I agree with this guy on a lot.

One big thing though: If we "blow it up", I'm drafting Amen.
