Portland would be a great trading partner if they want to compete still.

They not trading any of the top 3 pick for Pascal lol.

Maybe 4th.

brandon miller or amen thompson/cam whitmore for pascal is a horrible deal. the only players you trade for siakam would be wemby or scoot


I’d pack his bags for Miller and Sharpe.

I'm happy still.

Gotta see what Portland is going to do here. I'm 100% sure the Hornets will take Miller, leaving Scoot at 3.

Blazers will probably be moving Lillard now.

Honesty this draft was Vic or bust. Pistons goes to show tanking doesn't guarantee anything. I honestly don't think much of Scoot or Brandon Miller; they will be fine players but I don't think they are franchise changing. Spurs getting Vic is great; let him go West.

They should build around Lillard and move that pick to another team. :nod:

Brandon Miller might be the 2nd best prospect in the draft. He just had one of the best college seasons for a perimeter player in years. He was better Tatum/Ingram etc. His only issue is age/off court ****.

People thinking that PDX will trade him or Scoot and more assets for Pascal are just wishing. Blazers more likely yo move on from sharpe/etc now though.

Edit: only way they trade 3 for Pascal is if they get the 13th pick also.

Teams 2 through 5 tanked, and I'm pretty sure the Spurs are really happy they sold their whole team for parts over the last 2 years (including Jak this year) for it.

Tanking is how they won their 5 championships, and may be the reason they win again.
