Brandon Miller!

Once again, not about Miller vs Scoot in my opinion. 
 

Teams were willing to trade assets for Scoot.  Hornets missed an opportunity to make a big splash.

Portland and New Orleans alone were hell-bent on Scoot.

If Portland had to draft Miller, Dame Lillard was gone in Portland (probably still is).

Why not create a bidding war in Charlotte for #2?  If you can still get Miller along with *anything*, why not trade down 1 spot? It’s stupidity.

What are you talking about??

Portland wasn’t trying to trade up 1 pick for Scoot.. Especially when most of the league knew we were higher on Miller..

NO wanted Scoot but nobody truly know what they were offering.. 

Portland was good with getting Miller because he fits them just as much as he fits us.. You ain’t creating a bidding war when only 1 team is putting out in public they are willing to trade up..

[WOW!!]

 

The pick looks like Lamelo approved..

What are *you* talking about?  Portland and New Orleans absolutely wanted Scoot (Portland rejected significant Pelican offers) and the Hornets saying they loved Miller over Scoot.

So then just make a trade with either!!!!

Hornets prefer Miller, cool.

Two or more teams prefer Scoot, cool.

Hornets have the highest pick to get either.

It’s not rocket science for the team with the  #2 (Hornets) to trade down to #3 (Portland) and get their guy (Miller) and also another pick or player.

Some of the fans in this forum (you) are just hilarious to me.  Hornets played this poker game wrong publicly.  We agree.

I can keep going if you like.. Most of Portland trade was rumors were trying to get a vet star with their pick to match up with Dame not Scoot..

Mikal Brirdges, Siakim, Lavin, and others were discussed by Portland not trading with us for Scoot..

I read this board, never post.

You’re a known troll, I’m just posting the day of the draft.

I didn’t think the Blazers were trading up for Scoot.  That’s the whole point.  They weren’t because the Hornets made it known we were drafting Miller.  It’s horrible Poker / FF game…Hornets have never had a game-face.  We always tell our hand even when we can make major moves.

Lol.. You were talking about creating a bidding war between Portland and NO??

How does that happen if Portland doesn’t want to trade up for Scoot?? 
 

Im a troll but you are posting with no sense of logic.. 

Reality check : Portland wanted a vet.. NO was the only team publicly trying to trade up for Scoot with us or Portland.. No deal was ever a thing between us and the Trail Blazers.. 

This isn’t the NFL teams don’t usually trade up 1 pick in the NBA and give a team what they want in value…

If this was ever a thing what was Portland going to give us to move up 1 pick..

Mitch said they had offers. Said something along the lines of they were offered some really good players. If they were going to trade the pick they had the opportunity to trade it pre draft. The Hornets then still make the pick and the trade is announced. Kind of weird to assume a pick swap was on the table with Portland and the Hornets turned it down. That doesn’t make sense. That’s why you’re mad it didn’t happen, because it doesn’t make sense for them to not do it if it’s available. Why would you assume it was available rather than the most likely reason it didn’t happen: it wasn’t available.

Portland wanted Scoot BAD at #3.  Either that or a trade for vets and pics.  

Hornets could’ve jumped on that leverage but they didn’t.  Is what it is, but CLT could have done far better today.  And I like and will support Miller.

Jesus I just showed 2 stories showing you what Portland really wanted to do was find veteran help for Dame not another young player.. 
 

Reality check is They might be starting over and trading Dame because they had to make this pick… 
 

They did not want a trade up for Scoot.. Where are you getting this from.. 

And even if they did what were they giving up??

If Portland at #3 and New Orleans at #15 really want Scoot and you (Hornets) don’t want him at #2 but love Miller?

You can’t figure out a deal?

What are we talking about.
