    I got a solution guys!! Let's trade the second pick for a great player and the 41st pick. There's gold in that 41st pick!

    If I'm Charlotte I draft the 6'9 shooter, not another ball dominant guard.

    Lamelo and Scoot sound like one of those fun backcourt duos that's exciting to watch but in the end will always disappoint.

    I think that leaves Portland. They have an aging PG and 2 young SGs they believe in, basically guard is their strongest position. I think the hope I have is they fall in love with someone else. Last year they fell in love with Sharpe (who had a nice end to the season) and no one expected Sharpe to go 7. Maybe they reach again.

    I mean, did you all believe that a guy who make money off of gambling addicts would have his prayers answered?

    Although we don't control, whoever we get... Amen, Miller, and Scoot all have elite potential. And that's all you can ask. We drop even one pick and that changes. So while disappointing, we'll improve and have a chance at an elite.

    Pray Scoot drops to 4 because Charlotte and Portland don’t need PGs.

    or trade the pick

    drafting another player that can’t shoot, on a team that can’t shoot, is a bad idea

    Makes sense, everyone was probably ending their prayers with his name.

    I own the shirt, had it on, still have it on, but I never prayed. Speaking of.... @Clutch do you have a "Y" sticker for this shirt material that sticks on real nice like?

    Then Portland will take Scoot with a kiss and make him next Lillard.

    4 is a lot better than 5/6. So definitely not the worst

    It sucks but we might have drafted Jabari #1 last year anyways or Chet who didn’t play at all. And two years ago the best player in the draft was available at 2 and we passed.

    NEVER FEAR!! I said the FIX WAS IN MONTHS AGO.....NOW HERE IS WHAT YOU DO!

    #4 Amen Thompson has Star potential
    #20 Derrick Lively

    Or

    Trade down to #7 with Indy and pickup Myles Turner and pickup Black.
