I’m fine with the mindset of just drafting Scoot and fielding all offers the rest of the draft/week/etc.  

Scoot’s demand league-wide is CLEARLY greater than Miller’s even if you ignore the gun thing and if we don’t see the “fit” with Scoot.  

You can move Scoot before the season starts if the offers are there.  He simply has more value right now.  This franchise needs TONS of VALUE out of this pick, not just a shooter.

Draft Scoot and figure the rest out later.

We don’t have to choose trade partners on draft day.  We have all off-season.  If I’m the front office I’m dreaming Franchise-Altering moves.

For example…we draft Scoot at #2 and the Blazers are thoroughly screwed.  Dame isn’t happy with them drafting Miller, declares he wants out next week.

All of a sudden, we have a TON of assets we can throw at them in a (perhaps 3-team?) trade.  Miles could be made available, Scoot, we still have that other 1st rounder, we have expiring contracts that are very appealing (Hayward and Oubre) and , we have attractive trade pieces in Terry and PJ.

Take Scoot and see what deals you can work this off-season.  No brainer.  The NBA would be immediately altered and this whole roster could be reinvented by simply drafting and dealing Scoot.  Just go in with that mindset please Mr. Jordan.

It's bouncing around because of Woj tweets.

If Shams tweets it's still Scoot it will flip back. Vegas is simply reading the tea leaves. They have no inside source. 

We finally agree on something!

 

Im trying to figure out why everyone goes to Vegas for stuff like this. Vegas has no sources lol

Back to Miller in Vegas. Still think Hornets are playing games and showing indecisiveness seeing if Blazers will offer #3 and future picks. It's not going to happen though. 

 

If the Blazers are forced to draft Miller at #3, Dame Liliard literally starts packing his bags tonight.

Like others have said you have to take Scoot. I hope they keep him but if not he has a higher trade value. Drafting Miller is a bunt when this franchise needs a grand slam. 

The whole NBA wants the #3 pick right now to get Scoot.  We have the #2 pick and are turning down Zion Williams and a 1st?  To draft Brandon Miller?  I mean I like the kid but come on front office.  Draft the value not the fit on a losing team.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.

      Didn't he not beat a winning team all season while putting up pro-bowl numbers?  Faster, better arm, bigger....still a weak point for his playoff team with all of that talent around him. People are so twisted up in the Panther fan base that they can't tell how ungrounded they are at this point.
