Remember when they wanted Aaron Gordon, but couldn't get the deal done and ended up with Robert Covington. They are probably wishing they sweetened that offer a little bit.

I would assume Miller is the favorite at two now. If Scoot is there at three, I have Portland name their price.
The key is not to over pay. Scoot has his own question marks even though I have him at #2. Would I trade 6 and 11 for him? Yes. Would I throw Suggs into that as well? Hell no.

It would still not matter for them at all.
Gordon works for Nuggets because they have 4 players around him with ability to hit open shots and he spends vast majority of time standing on dunker's spot.
Even last night his existence and purpose on Nuggets, in matchup with Lakers started to be questionable. As long as he is around paint, he allows Davis to patrol paint. If he could shoot, it would force Lakers to not do cross-matchup and it would force Davis to be full time Jokic matchup. But since that's not case, Lakers gamble with Hachimura on Jokic with Davis being rim protector and ignores Gordon whenever he isn't around rim.
You look how they beat them last night, they made 15/32 threes. That's not very sustainable offense going forward.

trade back option for the blazers and hornets? I kinda hope he just falls in our lap though. Upside is all there... with a much more respectable floor than many might think.

I think I’m going to need an eye transplant after today. I’ve been staring at YouTube for the past ten hours.
My extremely early and completely uneducated early choices would be some combination of:
6 - Ausar/Hendricks/Whitmore
11 - Dick, Hawkins, George
I am really trying to stay away from the mindset I had with Aaron Nesmith a few years ago when I wanted the best shooter available without taking glaring weaknesses into account.
After watching a ton of videos, there’s not many guys who I’d be upset with taking.
I’m sure my list will change dramatically over the next month. I hope that we don’t just punt the 11th pick for little value in return, and I hope we don’t make an Okeke type reach where we pick a projected 2nd round talent mid lottery (I know Okeke was rated higher before the ACL tear, but there weren’t many mocks where he was top 35 after the injury).

Exactly! I be even tempted to add Franz to the deal with the Hornets along with 6 and 11 for #2

I like him too. I don't think he'll be Scottie. GG will be a way better scorer.davey_wavy wrote:I like GG Jackson with the 11th. Feels Scottie Barnes-esk
