I'm not sure that person is drawing the right conclusions. I don't think the odds moved because they expect Charlotte to take Scoot. I think they moved because there's a growing chance that Charlotte will trade the pick and that team will take Scoot. That's what the odds makers are adjusting for

I agree

The odds of Charlotte actually doing the right thing are low

Fun one would be trading ball to hou for a bushel of picks and taking scoot at 2 and whitmore at 4

@The Q thoughts on jett Howard?

Honestly?!

He’s big and can shoot. Asked to carry a lot

But he seems a little soft

The kind of dude that will either be a steal under heat culture or will just winter and fall apart and be a volunteer coach on his dad’s next staff after he gets fired at UM

If they landed scoot they could trade ball for a haul

But they think they’ll be a playoff team with bridges back, so they won’t

He’s 6-8

Dude might wanna think about bulking up and trying to be a stretch 4 rather than a guard where he’s seemingly just not quick enough

I mean look at some of these guys who worked out for the heat

He’s similar to a bigger Duncan or strus

Kinda wondering if that’s not why OMP got invited to the green room though…I was surprised by that since he was seen as more of a bubble first rounder

The wild card to this is if the new owners don’t want bridges back

That should pivot their strategy

Yeah, hurts him defensively for sure.

OMP is very intriguing. Reminds me of Vando with a better shooting touch.

Any chance the heat use 18 as a way to move Duncan

It would give you a chance to keep Vincent and strus and maybe use the mle

Would have to be a cap space team, and there's not a lot of those prior to the new league year starting. Teams would need renounce cap holds in many cases.

My teams just made a trade. Now with three picks in the late 1st/early 2nd, Nuggets going to need to let some bench vets walk. Jordan the obvious candidate, others likely include Reggie Jackson, Ish Smith, Thomas Bryant…

I’m surprised they want 3 young guys rather than spacing them out over 2 years
