I see Portland is looking to trade the #3 for a proven player.

 

Any chance we could also get #3 for Bridges and a future pick?

 

That way we all end up happy Scoot and Miller back to back.

I don’t think so. Especially with Bridges history…. I would love if we could flip him for a pick though.

If there was a particular video that convinced me that Miller is the guy, it was the one below.

The whole video is Miller off the dribble. The only think you don’t really see Miller do is get to the rim which can be worked on. Coaches will put some weight on him, work on his ball handling and his iso game, and then you have a legit superstar in my opinion.

You're probably right, but this dude is still a hell of a player and a borderline allstar talent.

 

I think Dame would welcome this type of move for Portland.

I was sold when he dropped 41 after the off court stuff. The media was on him heavy and he was so poised under pressure. Give me that dude. He handles pressure pretty well.

 

The NCAA Tourny is what people will bring up, but I give him a pass because it was reported he was playing with a groin injury. That's why he was being more of a playmaker in the Tourny. If he was healthy I think Alabama would have won it all.

Based on every report I've ever heard/read. And why would he say it? To make himself not look like a self absorbed douche nozzle. 

This. He and his agent's strategy was to play for LA at all costs. They threatened teams who were considering taking him that he would go play in Italy rather than sign with them and refused workouts with them, not just the Hornets, but also the Nets and Kings have gone on record saying that.

What do you think of his shooting? His stats are rough and it’s a huge concern to me.

He's 59% between 0-9 ft, and ~roughly 42% from 15-19. He's young and has improved his shooting over the course of 2 years. He's incredible at getting to the basket and creating. I think you could make him PG and slide Lamelo to the 2 spot and cook.

One thing I have learned in basketball, is that when you are at the top of the draft you take the best player period, not the best fit.

Speaking of, I’ve read that Scoot may be refusing workouts with teams that don’t have immediate need at PG…such as the Hornets and the Blazers.

Scoot's age and sheer superstar upside is just something you don't pass on to take Brandon Miller, who's got question marks outside the game of basketball in itself.  Miller would be a colossal mistake.  

And I know he wasn't the killer, I'm not saying we're all saints, but still, being the one who brought the murder weapon, at the behedst of the shooter (Miles), confirmed via text, well, to the eventual murder scene just scares the crap out of me.

There's just so much weirdness to the whole story, I would just stay far and away from him if it were me.  Morant's whole ordeal right now is about flashing and pretending to be all tough whereas Miller's circle actually had a straight up shootout killing.  

This is an easy call.  Scoot all day, every day.

And honestly, I would not even bother re-signing Bridges and dare I say even consider trading Lamelo at this point for a fortune.  I just don't Lamelo isn't bringing rings to the QC and this team is far from competing.  New owner, new coach, new star all needed.  

Find the best stud complimentary pieces for Scoot to get in return for Lamelo and some future unrestricted 1sts.  Ayton+Cam, Jabari Smith+Eason, I don't know, but I'd rather position this squad for a rework than continuing to try and build something around Ball.

      Director of College scouting should be next. I'd like to see the organization go after Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy who's a good friend of Dan Morgan back in their time in Seattle

      Off season talk.

      By pantherj · Posted

      I always just go back to what I said at the time. Trade Burns to the Rams because it's a fantastic deal. I was screaming it. I'm still angry at Fitt over that. Right after he turned down the deal I said he needed to get into a time machine and go back and make the deal. Hate that dude. Ruined our team. Trading D.J was a major mistake because what matters most in the NFL is the passing game, so you never unload a proven #1 WR when there are other options. Always trade a defensive player over a WR if you have that option available. Fitt was precious about defensive players when we had a passing offense that didn't function. That's how know he was completely incompetent. The passing offense is the top priority, so until that is functioning all defensive players are possible trade fodder. At this point we're in a rebuilding year under a new GM and a QB who looks absolutely horrendous. It makes perfect sense, if you follow all of our moves, that we would be the worst team in the NFL. Of course we are. You can't screw up as a GM that many times over the years and not ruin the franchise. We're exactly where we should be, dead last, or bottom 3. Whichever you like. But this is the here and now. Dan did a good job getting our 2nd round pick back, and we won't know about the picks until they take the field in regular season games. We're in dark until then, but if they suck the Panthers media will hide it shamelessly. Remember when Young was supposed to be a football genius? Yeah he was rancid turds out there when live fire started. There is some hope. Either Young improves and we win more games, or he stays about the same and we draft a new QB in 2025. Either way the NFL will help us out of this jam, but all we need is for Dan not to screw it up.
