Yes both will improve, but when i look for improvement, i tend to go for younger players...

Scoot : 18
Miller : 20

Scooter had the advantage without having to put some muscle. Which Miller will have to do. And we putting some muscles can screw up your shooting form.


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

I haven't seen anything that implies Miller isn't a dog. Every game I watched him in this year(maybe 10 or 11), he was super intense on the court. Miller played through injury to help his team, Scoot shut it down with 12 games left. Not sure how he's given a pass for that but still considered to have that killer instinct.

Yes pretty chocolate lol. But my taste is very broad. It is sectional. For instance, some girls I like for lust, some for picnics, some for marriage. I like Monica McNutt cuz she is laid back, cute, sex appeal but not overly, and has a sense of class...

But I also like Torrie Wilson and Jennifer Lopez go figure lol
UPDATED `10-22-2025



These are who I want with our picks in order



THEM - Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen

UNCNYC - Arthur Agee, William Gates

You seem oddly fixated on Scoot's muscles....

Why would OKC take on that much salary to move up just two spots?

This is the real game now. Remember Mitch talking about making a (paraphrasing here) “WOW/IMPACT” trade? There are really good players on the board where Rozier and 27 plus one of our 2nd’s could bring some impact.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

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.
