supermax was a horrible miscalculation.

i don't think your point is invalid, and you may end up being right. but if brandon miller is the next andrew wiggins well... that was a highly negative contract that the wolves had to take a bath on in order to move. so it's all a matter of degrees

yeah this this the rub, for arguments sake say you have ja morant in hand but a certain percent chance the other guy turns into the best version of paul george vs andrew wiggins (or worse), it’s tough! from a fit perspective it seems like miller is better for charlotte too
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 21 June 2023 23:31 (one year ago) link
plus I’m sure the gun laws in north carolina are more favorable
on the lowe podcast from today givony says that plenty of teams in the NBA have miller over scoot & that charlotte isn’t picking miller just bcuz of fit. but if they had brandon ingram on their team instead of lamelo they’d be picking scoot let’s not kid ourselves he also says that in miller’s first work out with charlotte his conditioning and effort weren’t good and he was basically told if he wants to be the second pick he needs to show it. so then the second workout he showed up and was better. i’m sure there’s no way such stories will come back to haunt this franchise

the old wiggins gambit

also tbf to your argument k3v we do have to account for even the small possibility that miller is a 5 time all star type wing or whatever in which case he’s prob more valuable than scoot no matter how good scoot is
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 June 2023 00:36 (one year ago) link
i’m bringing up all star comps for scoot and disappointing but still good role players for miller but there is some upside with miller even if ppl don’t see it athletically or whatever
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 June 2023 00:38 (one year ago) link
insofar as lots of great players including most of the very best players in the league have far exceeded the “upside” they were ascribed prior to the draft

the thing you want to do if possible is draft a guy during a taco bell commercial

that's why everyone's trading down to the mid-second round where greatness lies

The three-team talks on a Porzingis-Brogdon deal with Celtics, Wizards and Clippers have fallen apart, sources tell ESPN. Sides are moving on. https://t.co/WoNkOcTYe5— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 22, 2023

feel like brogdon prob shouldn’t cancel his movers tho
*placing finger to my ear*
The Wizards are still working on ways to get Kristaps Porzingis to the Celtics in an opt-in and trade scenario, but it won't be in a three-way with the Clippers, sources tell ESPN. Porzingis still has the ability to decline his $36 million player option and become a free agent.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 22, 2023

celts get back into the 1st round with that trade, i guess they feel comfortable starting white or brogdon
