    FWIW, the TPE that Dallas got in the trade with OKC fits with Nurk's contract. Dallas is looking for a big.

    Woj says NOP haven’t offered Zion for anything.

    What a joke if it’s true that New Orleans was just offering #14 and future picks for Scoot.

    And they thought this was realistic enough to have meetings with Scoot? Delusional.

    They haven't offered because all initial discussions were short of what CHA or POR would take.

    Yeah I like the idea of him but I don't see us needing another scorer.... Although now at #16 maybe we don't have to give up much to move from #23.

    Taking Zion would put our team back by a decade. Theres no question about that.

    I guess they didn’t like him as much as they said

    This would be ideal!

    Especially if Dame says he's out

    No, he's not smaller than CJ. CJ was 6'2.25" at the combine when he was 21. He had a 6'6.25" wingspan. Scoot allegedly measured 6'2" (although there's a report he measured at 6'4" for the Blazers) with a 6'9" wingspan... and he's 19, so he might still grow a bit.

    As for whether he's the same size as Ant: who cares? He's a PG, and Ant doesn't play that very often. Matching any two of those guys, though, means you'll not have an especially small dude (Scoot is probably the shortest, but has the longest arms).

    Whether Dame and Scoot can win together: you can die on the hill, but I don't really care about your opinion, sorry.

    I say ideal regardless. Nurkic is too inconsistent and injury prone.

    :sigh: I guess I didn't want to look like I was insulting you by asking if you remember GSW in 2022 (Steph/Klay/Poole/GP3 at guard) and just go with one of the trendsetters; but if you're willing to die on that hill I'm definitely not changing your mind. 3 stud guards isn't a killer. 3 stud guards who don't play D and don't have good team defense is.

    yeah -- Poole was such a stud they traded him for Paul who is often injured -- ROFL
    and bringing up GP2 -- really -- I said SMALL guards can people learn to read -- NM -- I know the answer to that

    Also Klay is what 6'6

    Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that

    How far did they make it in the playoffs?

    Surely they made the finals in order for them to be a template of success.

    or at least the conference finals.

    2nd round?

    out in the first round?

    Seem like a great template to follow.
