    With all of the odds changing to Scoot at 2, I'm much more comfortable with keeping the pick if it's Miller who fills a need on this roster. I still don't know how keeping the pick will go over with Dame. A lot of waiting and seeing to do.

    If all of this Scoot to Charlotte talk is true I do think that a package of Ant and Miller might be more attractive to a lot of teams than a package of Ant and Scoot.

    Woj is still saying that he thinks the Hornets take Miller. He is using the same reasoning I had the day before yesterday when the odds shifted towards Scoot at 2. Miller has been reportedly Charlotte's guy for the entire predraft process and Woj doesn't see anything that has happened to significantly change that.

    This will be a really interesting evening.

    I’m probably in minority but if Scoot is gone I’m ok with Amen or Miller.

    The new owners will supposedly be in the draft room.

    So, I mean, new ownership could *significantly* change that.

    Speaks to a 3-way swap, I think.

    MM has said the Blazers would settle, TB suggested NO didn't want to give up enough for us to take on the risk...

    Tea leaves feel like a 2 (Scoot) for 3 (Miller) for Zion framework...

    I would love the potential Zion would bring with him. Just have to wait and see. Wow! What a day.

    This can't be real

    Update: It's bulls***. I'm leaving it up to give further proof that I'm a moron for buying this garbage.

    I said it in another thread, but Zion, Bridges/Claxton, Scoot and Miller all get me pretty excited.

    As long as we don't fuck up a trade, it should be a great day to be a blazer!

    considering we cannot trade our picks because of the Chicago trade, I would say it is not real.

    It would be impossible because of Stepien. Pretty clear sign a report is bullshit when it has two consecutive FRPs being moved in it... probably a bigger tell when the team reportedly moving the consecutive future FRPs owes one of them to another team.
