Exclusive All Things Scoot

wait was this ‘the’ moment of injury? does anyone know?

it was pretty clearly the play vs ivey last season with sharpe…

 

No. It was Jabari Smith. He came down on him during a fast break.

 

Have we heard any follow up on Scoot? Also, does anyone know who Scoot and Sharpe are training with this summer?

 

No and no.

 

Scoot's father is his trainer and has a family gym...I'm sure that's where he's working out. Sharpe has a trainer I believe that he works with

 

Nice instagram short-video post on Scoot.

Just to note.

Scoot is now eligible to be traded and his 8.1 mil contract can be added as salary.

 

Does anyone else think it's weird that the team isn't using him to promote season tickets next season?

That one image that HCP shared had Kris Murray on it. I haven't seen all the marketing but I have heard that Scoot isn't on any of it. Can anyone confirm?

 

One of the best moments in this short video is Scoot and Sharpe collapsing on Tari Eason, with Scoot poking the ball away right to Sharpe, who takes off for the easy basket.
I hope we see a lot of this kind of defense in the regular season.

 

Maybe they're waiting on the Lillard situation?
I won't be surprised if Lillard plays again for the Trail Blazers.

 

Definitely possible. They might be reluctant to put either Dame or Scoot on anything.

 

So we have Simons


Here is Murray

3 days ago. OK it's not promotional material but still...

 

It is clear Scoot and Nurk are being traded for Joel. They are just waiting for Harden to get traded. Dame is for sure staying.

 

Pure speculation on your part or second hand promulgation of someone else’s pure speculation?

 

Of course perhaps I should have applied green font to the above for proper interpretation.

 

I'm asking myself right now what exactly could the Blazers get for Scoot? Why isn't this being talked about?

If there is any way I could get a package back for Scoot that keeps Lillard here I do that in a heartbeat. Problem is there isn't. Teams know what Scoot brings and their scouts have watched him through and through. If Scoot was everything many Blazer fans have convinced themselves he is there would be a market for the kid.
Simple answer is there isn't one because he will be a serviceable to good PG in this league. Unfortunately those are readily available.

 

Or….maybe it is that others recognize the Blazers have their eyes on the future and so they won’t even consider trading Scoot.

Not going to get a high -priced superstar like Dame wants for a rookie. So trade your own high-priced superstar (as he has requested) instead.

You may be right that Scoot will only be serviceable, but the majority of articles I have read view a much higher prospect than that; both from before and after the draft.

It is not like “Oh, the Blazers drafted him, won’t amount to anything.” Is the thinking. Most have high opinions of him.

 

I'm betting there could be a pretty high priced superstar available for Wemby? My bet is Banchero and Jabari Smith from last year would bring a pretty decent player.
I am not sure about Brandon Miller but something tells me he would bring more than Scoot.
