    I'm so excited for the next chapter. Today felt like a giant weight lifted off of the team's shoulders. This is my opinion. I fully understand those who feel the opposite and will not try to change your mind. So, let me have my opinion as well. Sometimes you have to realize that things aren't working and start fresh. This is that time.

    I'll be relieved only if we receive young players and picks to set us up to compete within the Shae-Scoot Era time-line.

    So happy for this guy...And I really hope they keep Ant. Love the small ball lineup with this trio. Also hoping they hold onto Skylar Mays to run the second unit.

    I see Scoot is also good at PR. I think he's ready for the big time.

    I'm watching a Scoot highlight video from two months ago and in the first 23 seconds he's smoked Webmanyama twice (in two very Dame-esque moves) so that's nice to see.

    EDIT: 46 seconds, three times now.

    Did you two read the Ringer article? I have a huge man crush on this kid. I'm excited about next season.

    Oh I'm on record as saying I think he's the best player in the draft and it's not even close imho. I love this kid.

    100% agree. The Dame storyline was not only getting very old, but the team has been a drag to watch the past few years. I'm super excited to watch Scoot and Shaeden.

    He knows you have to go AT shot blockers, put them on their heels, make them commit, and use his quickness, strength and hang time to make adjustments.

    Scoot makes Efe Abogidi look like an All-Star in half of these highlights, to the point where I wouldn't mind signing him lol
