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.

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.

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.

Then why were the Pelicans so hard on moving up for him? And the Blazers were fine staying at #3? Even if we preferred Miller (I did), not trading down one spot for literally ANYTHING is just really bad.

Regardless of BPA or “fit”, we missed a chance to acquire more assets in addition to Miller. That’s disappointing. If you can’t convince Portland to move up 1 spot when they like the guy you don’t prefer…that’s pathetic. #2 for #3 and a 2nd? A future pick to move up? Our #2 and our #27 for one of your good contracts and #3? The average fantasy football amateur knows these moves. Give me SOMETHING/ANYTHING and you can lock your guy in. Otherwise we’ll draft Scoot and see what the Pelicans offer. Or we’lll just stick with Scoot. To me, it’s not about the players themselves or the fits as much as it is the miss in optimizing the overall value of this pick. Hopefully this all works out for CLT and Miller. I’m a fan now and rooting for him. But damn.

Kyle Boller once threw it 50+ yards on his knees - and he’s in the NFL Hall of Fame.

Aaron Donald Sam Darnold No more Aaron Darnold talk please They are kinda different.

Aaron Darnold will be the Panthers starting QB in 2022 and a Top-5 overall player in the league. Pitt Panthers to Carolina Panthers pipeline, check.

#6 overall 2022, 1st and 2nd next year, and Brown. Done. (pending tomorrow’s outcome).

We got a *basketball player* that is arguably the best BIG on this roster right now. And we gave up next to nothing. He just turned 28 so hopefully we can re-sign him this off-season; he’ll make a huge difference to these younger dudes.

Hornets shooting for an all 6’7 lineup. 1: LaMelo Ball (6’7) 2: Gordon Hayward (6’7) 3: Miles Bridges (6’7) 4: Montrezl Harrell (6’7) 5: PJ Washington (6’7) (I kid, I kid. Kinda.)

I like Montrezl, surprised we didn’t move PJ.

You probably know as little about Yurt as I do...but look him up. 23 year old 7-footer and better rim protector and scorer than what we have (Plumlee). PJ Washington is not a star, nevermind a starter on the 9th place team. This is not a barn-burner trade, it’s a slight upgrade at C and maybe PF if Morris becomes available soon. (This trade is still a rumor for the record).

He’s been suffering from whiplash. Sabonis is hit him hard in the back/neck in October. He’s been wanting to play the past month but Miami has been holding him back. I like the Morris brothers a lot as “enforcers” at the PF position. And a true 7’0 center in Yurt...I’ll take that deal. We could use (need!) both. I hope this deal happens. (Note: KZ was just traded earlier today so he won’t be in this possible deal).

https://heatnation.com/rumors/report-miami-heat-interested-in-trading-omer-yurtseven-kz-okpala-or-markieff-morris-for-p-j-washington/ Here’s an article from the past few minutes that confirms the interest. And it has a Heat insider as a source.

Marcus Morris is on the Clippers. Markieff Morris is on the Heat and has been injured all season. Assuming they meant Markieff.

So let’s package (PJ and Plumlee or a rookie) for a modest upgrade at the starting 5 that plays some D. No need to give up draft picks, as per this recent deal indicates. Not mortgaging the future, but some options above that would fit the new bill.

Guessing this means they decided to keep Myles Turner. Damn.

Malik Monk just scored 29 points for Lebron’s Lakers and led them to a key win. The game before he had 21 points, 7 boards, and 7 assists. And before that he had 33 points, 10 boards, 5 assists. This is on a league minimum $1.7 million contract. We will end up regretting letting that dude go.

You do realize there is only so much money to go towards the entire team, right? Tepper can’t just pay everyone with his billions, there is actually a salary cap for all teams. Do we need QB, OL, S, DL, LB...or just put everything into RB and WR.

They’re a chain now. They are kinda all over.

Aaron Rodgers didn’t start a single NFL game until he was 25. Darnold just turned 24 and has 38 NFL starts. People are way too early to judge, but I see serious talent and football IQ in Sam. Tons of potential. (Dan Orlavsky and Terry Bradshaw seem to agree as well).

Nobody actually responded to this. Who would you rather start tomorrow and the rest of this year?
