    Yeah, I agree that's more likely--I could see Charlotte changing their mind and going with Scoot and Portland going with Amen in that case. Probably not the other way around.

    If it were up to me, I guess I would take Miller. I don't love it, I feel like you can usually sign 3-and-D, off-the-ball wings/combo forwards in most free agent classes, and they might not be quite as good as Miller might be, but they might not be too far off either. Cam Johnson, Harrison Barnes, those kinds of players. How much worse is that really than Miller's realistic outcome?

    It's generally harder and more expensive to grab a great playmaker/primary ballhandler in free agency. Think about how much Harden, Kyrie, and even FVV are going to cost.

    But I do believe you have take the best player available, and if Scoot/Amen are off the board, I suppose that's Miller.

    Weird. First one sounds like 2 teams and the 2nd one indicates 3. Guess, I'll just wait and find out like everybody else. Not like I really care where he works out, but more where he ends up.

    Agreed, I’d be okay with Miller but listening to offers to move back a bit. Is Anthony Black a good target if they traded back?

    k…maybe both Ime n FO has agreed to it that having a legitimate PG or not that doesn't matter, as long from one to five all positions can handle the ball well, move the ball n share the ball well. But it ain't ez, it's starting from scratch…really takes time for Ime to engineer, to figure out who is the captain on court, who is vocal voice in locker room.

    Or install someone like Marcus Smart, not necessarily at the PG position either.

    So that is why Draymond would be enticing.... a help facilitator when Sengün is not playing or help him.

    Someone who can enforce and make plays.

    A Shaun Livingston would be great if he were still active. Does not need much playing time to boot.
