We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

think the bridges stuff will resurface next week. there is no way sean marks thinks mikal is a guy you can build around -- he went insane for them to close the year but he also very clearly established that he's not a go-to player for a winning team.

all this stuff about him being untouchable, i'm not buying.

 

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed Charlotte takes Miller, and Brooklyn has a jones for Scoot.

 

I'm not trading Scoot or Miller for role players no matter how much I like Troy Murphy or Herb Jones.

 

Take Scoot and fucking run.

 

Bridges was very nice on a crappy Nets team, but they didn't win. When he was with the Suns, he was the 4th option. Not sure that a few weeks of free lancing on a garbage team not winning games makes him the 2nd coming that the Nets fans/media seem to think.

 

Yeah I feel like people forgot that he really wasn’t that spectacular on Phoenix.

 

Unless there are better offers on the table... then take those!

 

I agree with this but I could see a trade and maybe it would need a third team but we send out Ant, Nurk and pick 3 and we get back Bridges, Claxton and pick 21. I do not think Bridges is on the level of a guy that you need to give up the third pick for but if we got back Claxton and another first rounder then I could see it being worth it.

It could actually just be this.

 

No we are not trading for CJ! Stop trying to speak it into existence Tince!

 

Unfortunately, I think Charlotte is taking him

 

Just saw this suggestion on another site. Not sure I am all in on Zion, he is a stud when he plays, the problem is he is in street clothes more then a uniform.

The trade Pelicans must offer Blazers to get No. 3 pick
Blazers receive: Zion Williamson, future first-round pick (via Pelicans)

Pelicans receive: No. 2 pick, No. 3 pick, No. 23 pick

Hornets: Anfernee Simons, Herb Jones, No. 14 pick

 

This guy says he talked to someone from Portland and they don't think BI alone is enough. Zion would be worth the risk. No idea if he has any real sources or just speculation.

 

No way am I taking on the "shot-in-the-dark" that is Zion Williamson for the Ant, the #3, and #23 without receiving a ton more compensation than a future first. And secondly, no way Charlotte is trading the #2 pick for Ant, Herb, and #14.

 

It's not that simple.

Let's just say the pick is Scoot, as this scenario portrays.

Let's just say, hypothetically, Dame recognizes Scoot doesn't do jackshit for this team and it's goal to win *now* in comparison to B.I.

(A backup guard, at Dame's position, who doesn't play defense doesn't solve any of our primary issues at the moment, particularly "starting 3/4")

So do you "just keep the pick" even though it means Dame is gonna "have a "different type" of conversation" with management? Which most likely means "trade me"?

 

Tough call at this point. Has either worked out for them yet?

 

Yep, I don't see Ingram as a long-term fit. I'd rather address the immediate (and appease Lillard) while hedging with an upside future asset somehow. The short of it is that I don't think Ingram as a ton better than Derozan for the next two years (although he is marginally better), and it's unlikely from my vantage point that Ingram would be around long-term as a great fit with Shaedon.

 

Scoot has last weekend. Miller apparentl scheduled for today. They've both been closed door with no media or interviews. They're certainly playing this close to the chest, but I think the Miller stuff now is strictly a smokescreen.

 

I heard this last night and thought he meant he talked to Portland media (maybe his locked on counterpart in Richman). Doubt this guy from NO has any sources of significance in the Portland FO.
