I think what I value most in Scoot is the type of stuff you usually either have or you don't. It's just his mentality and competitiveness.

Look at, I don't know, Garnett, Westbrook, Butler, Curry, Lillard, etc.

Then look at Zion, Davis, Brown, etc.

There's something to be said for having that killer instinct. Scoot has that. Miller absolutely does not.

Maybe Miller can still be successful in this league without it. A lot of guys are. But when you have a chance to get someone with that approach to the game, you shouldn't pass them up because they will just find ways to win regardless of what their limitations may be and their competitiveness will always uplift those around them into something greater.

Scoot definitely would have become the leader/alpha dog of our team. Who is the leader of the team right now? I don’t really see one


Correct, we don't have one. And its hard to find that in free agency. I mean the team freaking quit in preseason last year.


At least miles is coming back.
But I believe he'll play it low profile... So he won't be the alpha male quite yet.

I can't believe the Mavericks dumped Bertans for virtually nothing

I didn’t know it was his kid when I made my last post but that would still be weird, I mean Juwan Howard isn’t Tom Brady.

Lively is going to help Dallas out a lot in the frontcourt defensively. Getting Lively and getting off Bertans is a big win for them.
