Miller can get fuged. The bullshit with the gun did it for me but then he is invisible in the tournament. Can't have that with a team of guys who can't win a play-in game. He's not an alpha and if he's a Paul George? That sucks because George is an empty All-Star. Does nothing for us.

Scoot has the mentality this team is severely lacking. It's not even a debate.

I rather have a Paul George than a Russell Westbrook...

Scoot said he can work with Melo. Either way our guards should be set and we might have a guy at center as well. PJ will be better especially with two guards who are elite passers. We might have a decent starting lineup. We need a coach over everything else now. I hope Jordan sells off his majority and the new group decides to fire Clifford.

So close to a decent starting lineup. Basically short a small forward if Bridges is not resigned but PJ is.  I feel like we can find a wing with that second 1st rounder.

Some people here are sold on size and we can’t change anyone’s mind.  Scoot is much better for so many reasons but these folks can’t see it

We just went through the Bridges fiasco and now we pick a dude involved with a firearm that killed someone?  That is what we are doing here?  Jesus

Scoot is talented but you looking at a Westbrook clone.

 

Those type of players don't play winning basketball. Like I said im fine with Scoot but im not sold on the fit with Melo.

The lineup they were referring to was Melo, Scoot, PJ, and Williams.

And a rookie or since we stuck with Hayward for one more year he fits. Good looking out. Reading is fundamental and some folks on here nearly illiterate.

Just in case people forgot Miller was involved in a murder case in which he brought his friend a gun he asked for. Little did he know his friend was going to tarnish his reputation for his actions. Now Miller is the scapegoat for his friend murder and the other guy gets to hide in prison while Miller takes the blame for the rest of his life. Cruel world!

 

I know this has been mentioned on just about every page. But I thought I would remind people again in case they forgot... 

 

Now can we talk about basketball now?

I get the upside with scoot somewhat, but he avg 16ppg on 43% fg and 28% 3pt in the g league. I dont see how you draft that over Miller. Yea he's athletic and can drive but i dont see the finishing translating to the NBA based on his g league showcase and stats.

I look at it 2 ways judging these players on their pro comps...

 

Do you want Russell Westbrook or Paul George?

 

Miller plays both sides of the ball. Even in his interview I posted he mentioned playing defense several times. That kind of 2 way wing is important in today's NBA.

 

No doubt Scoot is a more dynamic athlete, but those guys don't win in the playoffs. Scoot is just another Ja/Westbrook/Rose/Wall kind of pg.

 

Are we trying to win games or sell tickets?

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By rayzor · Posted

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.

      I dont think the clock has started yet on canales.  Once he gets his guy then the pressure starts.  WFNZ/mike kaye said  yesterday that he thinks there are 4 options here regardless of bryces status, Geno, Fields, Wilson maybe Jones.
