    Scoot is going to be a major star. I can't believe the Hornets let him go when he could easily fit next to LaMelo as a dynamic duo.

    I have some reservations about Scoot-Sharpe as championship caliber duo but for now, the Blazers will get a superstar point guard.

    It should be fun.

    Trade Dame. Scoot and Sharpe are the future.

    Make a run for #1 next season. My piece.

    I read somewhere (maybe The Athletic?) that he might have been a bit too unselfish at times this past year, and it might have been mistaken as coasting (knowing he was just playing out the season until the draft). Not sure if that's true, or even a positive, but I get the sense he's definitely a guy who likes to pass.

    Why would Dame want out?
    the Blazers just got two super talented players on rookie contracts. Now it’s time to add some vets.
    if the Blazers just have a middle of the road bench, they will make the playoffs.

    Miles Bridges went nuts and should be in jail. Gordon Hayward slow to recover from bad injury. Hornets needed a big wing that can get buckets.

    I hope everyone realizes, after these two tanking seasons, we’re going to be fucking bad wheb(not if now) we trade Dame.
    Huge fucking mistake…incompetent organization…so glad I got rid of my tickets for next year

    Truly unbelievable. We will have the best backcourt in the league in a few years if we dont fuck this up.

    Hey, I'd love for Dame to stay, I'd love for Dame to retire a Blazer and hopefully win a championship or 2 with us before he hangs it up. I'm just taking what Dame has been saying for face value which is he isn't interested in playing with another young guy. If he wants out I get it, I'm all for getting more young talent and future 1st's, but I'm equally as happy with him staying on our team

    You do realize it takes time, right? It was gonna take years anyway since any trade we would have done would have fucked us now and in the future.

    This was the right thing to do. Glad I'm patient.

    Don't think Ant will be dealt for a pick if he's traded.

    If the Blazers keep Scoot I think Dame gets traded probably in the next week or two. Probably to Miami or Brooklyn.
