In this scenario... they see a 3 way trade that nets us Simon's, 3  and 14....

Easily the best deal I have seen so far.

Simons/Miller is a hell of a get scoring and talent wise. Then we also get the #14 pick for added depth. Can't beat that deal.

 

Melo/Simons/Miller/Bridges/Williams is a young fun exciting team with a lot of scoring options.

Not sure if you just started watching basketball but Brandon Miller has been a projected top 3 pick for 4 months now.

 

There are 3 stars in this draft he happens to be one of the 3.

 

Why so angry?

LOL

If you can't see the difference between Scoot and Miller, I'm sorry, you are helpless. 

The only thing making this even a question is 'fit' which is dumb.

It's really not all that dumb if ya plan on keeping lamelo. 

 

Lamelo is already bad at defending and ya gonna put a 6-2 player at sg next to him??? 

Ehhhhhh....

Plus shot selection / shot iq questions plus shooting questions in general.

yea he's athletic but he didn't exactly set the world on fire in the g league.

Let's draft the athletes and hope we can get them a jump shot... Usually doesn't work out well in the NBA. 

 

With that said if you have Scoot rated higher you take him and hope lamelo learns defense and scoot can play with out the ball the majority of the time. Cause on the Hornets he won't be ball dominant. 

If he tries to be, it will create problems and he won't see the floor. 

If they are rated similar than you take Miller because of fit.

Apparently, all of us are dumb, because most mocks have us taking Miller.

Ya, you are. Scoot will be a perenial All-Star while Miller will be another Hornet disappointment. Time will tell, but the Hornets have are snake bit and ran by idiots.

Have to agree that watching film there is no question who the better guy is right now - Scoot clearly has the "IT" factor to be a superstar....the NBA is all about Superstars.  Miller is the better fit, but that is a distant 2nd in priority....2 guard teams can absolutely dominate.

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.

      The Athletic/Diana Russini: What I'm Hearing - "Bryce is Done in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think it was less Tepper mandating it and more Tepper finally relenting and allowing it. I've always maintained that I think what caused Reich to be fired midseason was likely him going to Tepper and saying something along the lines of "Either let me play Dalton and five this team a chance to compete or just go ahead and fire me now."

      I honestly think it was a mutual, collective decision. Canales might have been hired to be the Panthers head  coach because he was the best chance to get Bryce where he needed to be to succeed and did everything...I mean he and Morgan did EVERYTHING possible to create a successful situation for Bryce. And it was obvious... painfully obvious that not only was it not working, the team was losing and it was effecting everything. Canales was hired because they thought he could help Bryce, but he was hired as the PANTHERS head coach, not Bryce's personal coach. If everyone could see this was failing far beyond what anyone could have and it didn't look like it was anything that could be fixed quickly....then that everyone who could see would have to include Canales himself who is responsible for not just Bryce, but the whole damn team has to have looked at what it was doing to the team and their chances to win and said, we have to choose what is best for Bryce or the Panthers. He came in and said he had no personal attachment to any player, and that means he has no personal attachment to Bryce. He's going to do what is best to help the team win. If that means benching Bryce, then that's what he's going to do. Did he make this call without Teppers blessing or input? Hell no. Did they come into the Monday meeting having both come to the same conclusion regarding Bryce? I would have a hard time arguing that wasn't the case. All in leadership has to have seen it wasn't just not working...it was killing the team and they had to make this switch for the betterment of the team soon or else lose the season completely. No way would Canales had bern campaigning for Bryce to stay in there. He's not that dumb. Sometimes regardless of the work you do, you have to realize when it's futile and the earlier you recognize it, the better off you will be.
