Any other Heat brehs can trump me. I’d rather trade the pick

One thing scoot won’t have that the others had like Ja, D Rose, Dame, Kyrie, etc is that he’ll be drafted on a team where he won’t run the team right away. Unless the blazers trade Dame, he got fukked over by the lottery. I don’t doubt at all that having the keys right away wasn’t a big part of their success. This isn’t football.

Depends where he falls. If he somehow falls to Houston then I’m pretty sure they’ll forego Harden and let him runs the pg position. Ime seemed to closed the chapter in the KPj experiment. He already talking about KPj is an elite percentile catch and shoot scorer are we need to exploit that.

wingspan and overhead reach have more importance.

Sure they do but that’s not over coming being 6’2”

who the Lakers got at 17?

Whoever they can send Toronto for FVV

Dammit

How does this work, is the deadline later for international prospects? Can’t team just draft and stash him?

Yes. International guys have 10 days til the draft to withdraw (today is the deadline).

So he can't be drafted this year.

Go look at some scouting films on scoot this dude is a PG and I think is the best PG prospect since Ja and actually may be better. Miller is cool but Scoot is the better prospect.

I’m picking scoot 8/10 times over Miller. Only way I don’t pick scoot is if I had a franchise backcourt. But if I had that I likely wouldn’t even be in the 2/3 range to even get a chance to pick scoot.

Is this a pick for regular season success/attendance or is the end goal a championship?

 

[tremonthustler1]

So the Pelicans want in on Scoot?

 

[Wargames]

Ahh ok, I guess he wants that first round commitment to then come over.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Well I guess there's an easy ass trade to make to get #2 but that's a Zion /Daniels /picks deal for #2 /Williams

 

[Wargames]

So the Pelicans want in on Scoot?

I wonder what they are offering.

A number 2 pick don’t come cheap.

If it’s Zion because they finally got fed up with his bullshyt.

Zion /Daniels or Alvarado /#14 /Bucks or Lakers pick next year for #2 /Hayward/Williams

For what? Brandon Ingram? 5 picks?

Seems underwhelming especially when I have to see every trades involving Houston having us give up multiple drafts picks and players we drafted in the lottery

I'm offering Zion in addition to a top 10 pick in last year's draft and 2 firsts.

To move up to 2, Houston would need to move 4/Bari/one of the Brooklyn picks, and that won't work because I don't think Charlotte has anyone in mind at 4.
