Now with the rumor of Bridges and Pascal on the block, anybody want to trade with Toronto? 1st rd pick, Terry(since they lost Fleet) and Pj for Pascal? We could have a lineup of Melo, Miller Miles Pascal Mark or Melo Miller Williams Bridges Mark.

Apparently the Celtics beat writer thinks Grant isn't coming back. At the moment us and the Mavs are the only 2 teams showing interest. I'd take him over Pj for a fraction of the cost. Sign and trade PJ for something.

You know what's crazy... he can play but playing fantasy, I noticed they won just as many games with Tyus Jones playing pg. Morants next step(albeit off the court)will have to be learning to pace himself. Every play can't be 100 mph.

Yep, I think after looking at things that Scoot has a Mitchell type game with more athleticism. Miller Simon's and 14 aint bad either. Interested to see how today's 1 vs 1 went/going and then the interview. Hopefully something leaks out soon to give us an idea.

I would think his agent has looked at the staff assembled and that shows his best bet to learn n grow. Itd be his best bet to develop here versus constantly getting the boot. Scott probably also spoke up for him. Matt got the worse possible scenario. Drafted by a lame duck coach at the 1 position that his coaching life absolutely depended on.

Valid point in all of this I can't lie. It's a ton to process.

And I'd add Anthony Black if we trade back up fron 14. GG Jackson is definitely on my radar too. His upside has star potential. I think he'd been better coming out next year because his game will definitely translate to the NBA.

I understand your logic because that scares me too. Like I mentioned that in a perfect world a healthy Zion and Melo would be tough but so many ifs. Regardless, hopefully we leave this week better than last year.

It'd take a ton of investigating behind the scenes to see where he is at mentally but I agree a healthy Zion with Melo... possibly Bridges and Mark would be tough to stop. I also see the Simmons deal as a bonus too bc you get Simon's Miller and another lottery pick. I like Anthony Black as well.

Yeah, would've never thought that would be a sentence!

Yeah with rumors that the owner wants to rid of him since the newest issues, 14 would have to be added. I would take 14 and 27 and move back up. Imagine if Miller dropped a few and they still got him with a player n pick trade.

This is swirling around a bunch of ways but no telling!! Only thing I will say is if him and Mj had a talk and he is 100 pct committed to the hornets... him n Melo would be box office with Miles and Mark

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/nba/raptors/.amp/news/toronto-raptors-among-teams-interested-in-scoot-henderson-nba-draft Shams just reported on the topic again and it remains that Ingram is the preferred guy. I think that the Pels are refusing to say they have offered anybody in case it blows up but clearly some dialog has been made. Also today the Raptors have showed more interest on moving up to get Scoot with Van Fleet being a free agent. Most assume Pascal on the block since Barnes has the same skillet.

Yeah I saw that on Friday but no telling what negotiations transpired since. Originally Pels said they weren't trading either and today they said Zion will be traded by Thursday. So stuff is fluid and if they trade Zion... rather to us or anyone, no telling what they plan to do. Negotiations always start with a resistance.

My mind is completely shot on it all too lol. Like if they do trade for Zion... he has to have gave MJ his word that he wants to play here and will be in shape and committed. Nobody is going to question a healthy Zion but nobody has seen a fully one either. With both Scoot and Miller back in Today, they are really having a battle on what to do. I even seen not long ago the Raptors trying to dangle Pascal to get Scoot. We shall see.

Bill Simmons just said that Zion has been told he will be traded this week. My guess is us or Portland. Not sure how I feel about that...

I really hope we would hire another coach but MJ is still on board kinda. If we stuck with Cliff again... so be it but I feel it's better options still available to push the new era forward.

Mannnnnn lol.... He'd have to keep lemon and honey nearby every game.

Forgot about Doc but definitely either!!!

The Clifford thing is the biggest component!! Isn't the Bucks ex coach still available? Think so... regardless I'd love an upgrade!! I know Mitch probably wants to keep Clifford but we need an upgrade at coach. Maybe MJ will become more of a financial backing type minority owner. Hopefully these guys collaborate and form a dynamic structure to succeed!!

Got ya bro!!! Let's hope it's not a mess!!!

I saw that and has me wondering about the draft. Ironically this comes out and at the same time reports of the Pelicans not trading to 2 or 3 come out. Do Brandon n Scoot still meet MJ Monday? So much to think about going into the draft next week.

That and I'd also like to get Trey Smith the 3rd. Dude has big upside!!!
