Charlotte is about to take back Bridges who beat up on his wife. Do they want the heat that comes with taking Brandon Miller as well? Regardless, I would go for Scoot out of the two. He has the higher ceiling and I'm not sure LaMelo has done enough to warrant being the face of the franchise for the long haul.
Or maybe them taking back Bridges shows that they really don't give a shit about the heat they are getting. They could have cut him, couldn't they?
So, conspiracy time: Charlotte likes Brandon Miller, but would also be ok with Amen if their plab fails. They trade with Houston and pick up an asset or two, put out bad stories about Miller, hoping it causes us to pass on him so they can take him 4th.
