    Every baseball bat is a bat.

    Lovely. FWIW:

    Bat (the animal) comes from middle English 'bakke' (which probably came from Norse languages), Bat (club, staff) comes from old English 'batt' which probably came from the French 'batte'.

    Scoot and Shaedon looked almost exactly the same height when standing next to each other in the promo pic. I don't know if it was edited to make them look the same height....

    Scoot is wider, that's for sure. Maybe it takes seeing him in person to see the fairly big difference.
    Sharpe looks like the typical slim basketball player with a bit thicker legs.
    Scoot looks like Dick Butkus RIP.

    Well, as happy as a puny Pomeranian can be among massive Mastiffs and Gigantic Great Danes.

    Sharpe measured 6' 5.25' with shoes at the combine and Cronin said Scoot measured 6' 3.5" (I assume with shoes?)
    If that's the case, the 3-inch difference as shown on the training camp roster is misleading.
    With Sharpe listed as 6'6" and Scoot as 6'3". One is rounded up and other other down.
    The actual difference it seem is less than 2 inches. How much less I suppose we can guess when we see them side by side.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Why so many outdoor shots of random people and the sky?

    I read the whole thing and am not seeing that quote unless its this quote:

    "
    Turning the page
    Nearly a month before the Lillard trade was consummated, Blazers owner Jody Allen delivered a course-setting message to the organization’s lead business executives.
    "

    I don't see anything that indicates that Jody herself said to not let Dame come back (only to wait until the deadline and be traded to the Heat, not sure why so many miss that part of the Haynes piece). What am I missing here?
