    This scenario is a double-edged sword.

    at this point in time I think the standard is simply that Scoot played really well on an NBA floor against NBA players. No asterisk

    I'm just saying I agree with Malcolm that Scoot just needs more reps.

    Morris + Korkmaz + 2028 unprotected pick (originally from LAC) for Brogdon.

    Call it in, Cronin.

    I hear you... just know that bad reps when someone isn't ready can do more harm than good.

    You think bad repetitions are always good?

    If a contending team isn’t hitting up Joe Cronin for Malcolm Brogdon or Jerami Grant, are you even trying trying to win a title?

    Although I’ve enjoyed watching both of them play recently. Both professionals that have just been straight up hoopin.

    Have to think Brogdon is getting traded

    I don't think Portland moves off Grant unless the deal really good. I don't anticipate Portland will receive amazing offers because of the size and length of Grant's contract.

    It's because the opposition doesn't have to play their stars to win.

    Tonight was an exception.

    I saw that. Lobbying him like he was a US Senator.

    He just needs minutes and the freedom to make mistakes.

    I actually feel best for 'Tisse. This win had to be sweet for him.

    And nice to see Covington giving his usual Portland production...not showing up at all.

    Been seeing this for a couple weeks now. Grant at SF and Walker at the PF with Ayton on the court is a good group. They need time to get it together. For all those wanting to trade Grant I would think twice and the return better be worth it.
