    In an ironic twist of fate, it could be comments like that that KEEP us from having the assets to make moves to make this team competitive...

    You’re being overdramatic with “right then and there.” I doubt that’s how it goes down. Plus we have free agency and trades we can make without using #3.

    I wish that were true but Joe could botch this and make a bad trade that makes our future anything but bright, What if we had drafted Michael Jordan, for instance, but traded him for Dominique Wilkins?

    3 for Mikal and Clax. I might think about that

    Dame is the greatest Blazer of all time. I think Walton and Clyde can be argued, but I think it’s Dame. The roster basically has to have a complete overhaul for Dame (not his fault) He doesn’t play defense and he’s gonna be 33 when the season starts. Not a great idea to build around him now

    Dame needs to keep his mouth shut. Discuss internally, not publicly. Him talking only takes away Joe's bargaining power

    He doesn’t play defense, but he’s the greatest Blazer of all time? Defense is half the game.

    This is just silly. Oooh, he looked so much sexier to Jordan. Scoot was manly as he flexed, but Miller...... Pure utter nonsense.

    I agree although all that could be thrown in toilet with one bad trade. Hoping for the best

    The biggest Scoot-homer I've ever seen admits that Brandon Miller if he reaches his potential, is better than Scoot based on... SIZE!

    Ive never seen you say a positive thing about any trail blazer ever.

    And he is the greatest blazer of all time. The only thing you have to do is accept it. Enjoy!
