    With Miller to the Hornets being widely reported I'm hoping MMs aging all star is just a deal we can use as leverage against NOLA to get more out of a deal that ultimately gets us Zion for Scoot.

    My understanding was that other deal wouldn’t have involved the #3, at least that wasn’t the Blazers’ intent.

    Maybe we get the older all star MM is talking about and Zion?

    Two or three seasons ago George might have got me semi excited but right now with his injury history and age scares me not to mention the Clippers already fleeced the Blazers on one deal . If this did happen Cronin would prolly give up 3 , Ant , Sharpe and every 1st he could for the next 10 years. I know that prolly will not happen but still if you ask me what PG is worth now it's not the 3rd pick more like if the Blazers would have fallen to 7th then maybe that and Ant and a Future 1st and other small stuff to make Salaries work but 3 and stuff no way. If I am the Blazers I do not just hang up the phone I put the Clippers front office phone number on the blocked list and ignore them for good cause that would be nuts.

    Can you imagine sending the 3rd pick AND Ant out for Paul George? There's no way.

    So the Trail Blazers might get the rights to Scoot Henderson, then become the laughingstock of the NBA by trading him away for oft-injured players.
    Is that what's going on here?

    My guess would be with the pacers for Turner and one would hope the 7th pick to go along with other things?

    Take Scoot and let him inflate his value during the season the way Shaedon did. Then trade him if you must. I bet you'll be getting better offers.

    The problem isn’t value I think #3 has plenty of value the problem is there aren’t many players worth that pick. That likely isn’t going to change.

    If he gets picked third and then outplays that, he'll be untouchable. It'll be like Sharpe squared.

    Heck, Toronto got a guy in Scotty Barnes that is untouchable even though he hasn't improved since his rookie year... I can't imagine Portland would move Scoot if he turned out to be better than advertised.

    And there are Clipper fans saying the exact opposite. I love it!

    It's a tough spot to be in... a massive contract for a guy on the wrong side of 30 on a team that hasn't really done much the last couple of seasons. Some fans just don't want to accept it's time to make a big change.

    :)
