    I'll go Monday through Friday and also work remotely the whole week so will be a pretty boring Vegas trip. I've been to Vegas 30 times so seen it all already.

    Super excited to watch two Blazer games.

    forecast is for 104-108 high temps. Perfect for afternoon runs around parking lots

    Been over 100 everyday for two weeks straight in Austin so I'm used to it. Yeah would've preferred it in cold Canada or Alaska lol. At least Vegas flights are super cheap and short.

    No offense to Scoot, he may be the second coming like you guys are all predicting, but he also hasn't proven shit in the NBA. I'm I alone in my hesitation to anoint him?

    I don't see that anyone needs to annoit or not annoint him.

    Just be excited he's an elite prospects, NBA ready, and a great attitude.

    Yeah we'll see what he actually does in NBA games. We can all be very excited but it doesn't mean you need to be 100% convinced he'll be an all-star either.

    I'm curious if Scoot is a good lob passer unlike Dame

    If he's a good lob passer he's gonna make a lot of Sport Center with Sharpe on the receiving end

    watching some young Westbrook highlights. If used to measure what could be a fantastic career for Scoot, the Blazers will be stoked !!

    I think by all accounts him and Scoot are cool but I'm not sure he's cool with Scoot as a teammate.

    I don't think it's Scoot, it's the talent of the team.

    If we had traded Ant Nurk for Bridges Claxton I think Dame would be esctatic to have that group starting and he'd be fine having Scoot back him up as well as play at times together.

    But if we have Little starting, Nurk injured and are aiming for the lottery again I think Dame will be unhappy.

    So it's the lack of talent on the rest of the roster, and the possibility of more tanking that would concern Dame; not Scoot.
