Seriously, what do they mean by generational talent?
Only player in the history of the NBA to average 25ppg on 60% shooting, and he did it at 20 years old and also did it playing a style we've never seen before to that dominant of a level, but you want to argue he's not a generational talent.

The level of talent isn’t necessarily the problem.

Greg Oden was a generational talent. Brandon Roy was a generational talent. Injuries destroyed both their careers.

Paul George in no way has as much value as either BI or Zion.

He’s old and always hurt. Might as well go young always hurt

Im not saying he has same value but George is a superstar and probably one Dame wants to play with. I just dont know if blazers would give up third pick for him. Unless they give up the lower picks.

Roy and Oden seemed to be bothered by not being healthy at least. Zion can daydream about instahoes on the bench forever and he's happy

Huh? Regardless of how well they may or may not fit, it is a better fit than Tatum and Brown. They are essentially the same player which is one of the bigger reasons they can’t win shite with probably the most talented roster in the NBA. You aren’t getting full value out of Brown if Tatum has the ball in his hands the majority of the time.


You’re saying Brown and Tatum are the same player?

The might have the same major hole in their game, but they are not the same.


Also two dominant wings is actually a proven blueprint for success provided chemistry.


Ball and Scoot are ball dominant combo guards & that team needs frontcourt playmaking.

I feel like the Hornets deciding on Miller makes a 3 way trade with the Blazers, Pels and Charlotte easier

Everyone can get what they want

Assuming Charlotte wants Miller
Portland wants a star and decides it’s Zion
Pels want Scoot
And Zion is down to be in Portland

Well to be clear Woj said Hornets are prepared to select miller at no. 2. Doesn’t mean they wont jump in 3 way trade but Woj pretty clearly says that they’re standing pat and drafting Miller at 2.

I gotcha

2 way trade w Portland works too

I would just be tempted to make it a 3 way to give us more flexibility with which contract we get back and to prevent Charlotte from randomly changing course and trading the pick to someone else that wants Scoot on draft night

Trade idea on Twitter with the clippers seemingly shopping PG rn

LAC : BI, Dyson, Kira #14

POR: PG

NOP: #3, Simons, Sharpe




There really feels like so many ways the pels can get involved with this to get scoot

PG seems like someone we could facilitate a trade for and send to Portland without giving up Zion or Ingram.
Pels: Sharpe, Scoot
Clips: Simons, Daniels, Herb, #14, 24 Pels 1st, 25, Pels 1st, 27 Pels 1st
Blazers:PG
Saves Clips a bunch of money as well, and we can use our picks to facilitate a trade for two teams that likely don’t want to trade future picks.
