I want him cause hes a dynamic franchise guard not only because Zion constantly gets hurt. But that is one of the considerations because Zion constantly getting hurt is a fact. Several smallish guards in the nba have had success on the court- dame, steph, trae and ja( on court- keep that in mind). So if you ask I rather bet my franchise on a smallish athletic freakish guard with a 6-9 wingspan who most consider a franchise guard over a freakish PF who in 4 years in NBA has shown he cant control his weight and cant stay healthy, yes I would bet on Scoot.


What's funny is that at least this got the board livened up again talking about basketball. When all is said and done, nothing will have happened, but it gives us something to talk about for the week or so before the draft.

Lol you wouldn’t trade Zion for Ja(if he didnt have off court issues) or Steph??!! Where are you going with this?? Again Zion injury is not the ONLY reason but yes one of the reasons I would consider Scoot.

Sure but after 4 years of that not happening, honestly the excitement becomes doubt that it will ever happen.

That's fair. You were pushing the injury as if others cannot get injured.

this is your quote-

quote:

Macnamara tweeted this:

Source: One guy driving these talks that nobody has mentioned -- CJ McCollum. He thinks Scoot is special, special and has told the FO as much

Interesting if true.

The biggest leap was you saying that Shams claimed the Pelicans were actively trying to trade Zion to Charlotte because he mentioned his name in a tweet asking if the Pelicans would consider it internally.

The pels are even more delusional than I thought
Their is no asset on their roster or draft capital for the pels to trade up for 2

If someone gives up #2 pick for Zion or Ingram than that GM should be fired immediately

This is starting to sound like the Kevin Coster draft trade

Lol i quoted what Mac tweeted that doesn’t mean I know what he meant. Go ask MM what driving means? I’m sure that can be interpreted in many ways but I probably wouldn’t assume it meant Griffin is trusting CJ over his scouting dept but hey you do you.

OK, you do not know what someone means when they say someone is driving a conversation or driving the talks? That refers to the person influencing or leading

Shams actually had a video clip today where he again talked about the pelicans moving up to number 2 and then specifically mentioned Zion. It wasn’t a tweet, if you’re going to try to take me down at least review/view where the source came from. Thats not really a leap and I never said Shams said Pels are actively shopping Zion- I said its probably true Zions name was potentially brought up in trade discussions. But go ahead and make stuff up to take away you assuming MM tweet means Griffin is trusting CJ over his scouting staff lol

Im not Macnamara dude. I just quoted a tweet he had, which half the time isnt reliable. Your assuming that Griffin is trusting CJ over his scouting dept off that tweet. I think thats a pretty big leap of MM saying CJ driving the Scoot convo. But you can assume what you want.

“Communicating force” does not mean CJ has more say than the scouting dept lol

I’m surprised hornets fans seem to prefer Ingram to Zion.

Zion really has killed his reputation.

Trade proposals are always ridiculous. Like we’d give them Zion and swaps lol

He's hoping for Elite Board level discussion on Twitter. I'd love to see it, but I think he's about to get Bogey Lowensteined.
