I’m all out on Scoot now. We got Wemby. Scoot. We need a shooter as our PG
I am fascinated to see who gets Scoot. I feel like Charlotte takes him, but if he drops to Portland there's going to be a frenzy of offers. There may be a lot of offers for the 3 regardless, which is crazy to me.

Charlotte will take Scoot. Especially with all these reports of Brandon Miller looking out of shape in workouts and interviewing poorly at the Combine.
No player at 3 is going to help Dame right now. Word before the draft was that they would move it if it wasn’t #1.
If they Hornets are open to trading their pick here's my offer to the them.
Spurs Get:
2nd Pick.
Gordon Hayward.
Hornets Get:
Keldon Johnson.
Hornets get their own first rounder back from the Spurs.
Spurs 2024 first round pick unprotected.
Hawks 2025 First round pick unprotected.
Spurs get Scoot and create long term cap space by trading Keldon.
Hornets get a young cost controlled SF, regain control of their own first round pick plus two unprotected firsts while shedding over 12 million dollars off their tax bill.
I know the inclusion of a second unprotected first feels like an overpay but the Hornets probably say no without it.
That's too much...I love Scoot, but not at that price...
I don't think anything can help Portland. They're so screwy, but if they manage to get frontcourt help and depth for freakin' Brandon Miller, they might have a chance.
I wish I could downvote posts on here.
I proposed virtually the same trade a month or so ago except I had the Chicago pick instead of an Atlanta pick. I think those are the Spurs’ most valuable picks and really would hesitate giving one up.
Some team is going to make a big mistake investing a top pick in Miller.
Charlotte is my guess.
Portland is sweating it out hoping Charlotte takes Miller because more teams will line up for Scoot.
Miller has now a reason why he's not in shape, he lost weight due to having mono so Charlotte will now disregard he isn't in shape and draft him 2nd.
And he pulled a do ent from his lawyer to NBA FOs saying he can't talk about the shooting. I'm honestly not sure there's anything legally that prevents him to do so since he's not indicted or something. But anyway, no workouts, won't talk about the incident... Happy spurs didn't have to make that choice, pretty sure they would have passed.

Scoot's shot is looking pretty good. I think he will develop into an above average shooter.
It would be such a Portland move to draft Scoot. They spent all those years trying to win pairing the 6'2" Dame with the 6'3" McCollum, then when they traded McCollum they followed up the experiment with 6'3" Anfernee Simons. Micro backcourts almost never win championships. Dame + Scoot would probably be entertaining, but it's almost guaranteed to not produce rings.
I think this is too rich, but not by too much. Likely just need protections on one of those two picks and then we're talking the right value.
With that said, I'm just not into the idea of pairing Scoot and Wemby. I'm happy with Tre going into this season with the mindset that all pieces on the team are subject to being upgraded when the right opportunity arises. No need to overpay to force Wemby and Scoot. Let's just be a little patient. I think we can still be a playoff team if we brought back Tre and the team pretty much was the same as it was last year. We realistically should have been closer to a 30-win team if not for the active "victory management" and our youngs will have a year's worth of development in addition to a new 7'5" teammate.
Mitch Kupchak said he feels Charlotte has more talent now than they had two or three years ago so they can be picky and draft by position fit and not best available talent while two or three years ago they would definitely draft best available player.
Expect Miller in Charlotte.
I really want to save those picks to go after a disgruntled vet later on. Dream scenario is Doncic of course.
100%. And from the conversation on the CBA, we may be entering an era where teams need to shed some extra Max or near-Max players to make their caps work... might just play right into our hands.
Does it? Bc in all the clips I saw of him in the GL his shot was suspect at best. Maybe he can learn to shoot but there’s a lot more examples of players not learning to shoot when they’re that athletic vs ones who do
What I don’t understand is why don’t we make a run for Miller. That’s a dude that pairs perfectly with Wemby
This x 100
And if we manage to get our pieces other than Wemby outside the high lottery, we're doing phenomenal. Getting Sochan at 9 was great.
Every executive is saying he goes at 2 and that pick is not available.
Scoot might fall to 4. The lottery didn't favor him.
Keldon + 3 good FRPs for Scoot is just silly. Keep that for later... And I can't see Scoot staying SA with Wemby here... The only thing I can see the spurs doing is trading up in the 15-25 range to get a player they like (like Bilal or whoever) and try to pull another steal like they can... You just got Wemby, let's not get greedy or overexcited and sell the farm for unproven players. Stay calm.

Scoot is only working out for Hornets and Blazers
