Real Talk: How big is the gap between Flagg and Harper?

[spurs1990]

If this is like 1993 where Dallas prefers a better fit they can offer 1st to San Antonio for multiple picks. But based on Flagg’s hype it’s akin to 1992 and you don’t pass up on a name.

Orlando made the right move both years. Flagg and Wembanyama would’ve made San Antonio must watch for several years. So frustratingly close to have had that happen last night.

Wow, no idea how that happened! I definitely did not post it twice, absolutely something wonky with the servers here

Bruh, the threads don't even have the same le or text body in the first post. It's not a server error, you definitely posted it twice

I wouldn't be surprised to see Harper turn out to be the more potent offensive player between the two. That said, the gap exists because Cooper is a true 2 way prospect who projects to be elite or near elite on both ends of the floor. I also think there is a sizable gap between Harper and everyone else in the draft not named Flagg.

It's all good. Last night was very exciting... stuff happens!

The gap is:

Flagg = Harper + Atl pick-27 + Dallas Pick - 2030.

If we want to get Flagg, I think we can get him.

Harper will definitely be a star, just like Cooper

I doubt it. But if that’s all it takes, sign me in. Both ATL 2027 and DAL 2030 picks would not be lottery.

I don't think Dallas will budge... but let's be real here... what is the most you'd be willing to give up to go from #2 to #1? Not the minimum of what you think DAL would accept, but the most you'd be willing to give?

I'm doing #2, ATL27 + DAL30(s) in a heartbeat... but what about:

#2 + Castle?

#2 + #14 + ATL27 + SA29 + DAL30(s)?

#2 + SA28 (with BOS swap attached) + SA30 (with DAL and MIN swaps attached)?

No
Yes
Yes

I think a swap of picks #1 & #2 make sense from a fit perspective for both teams. I think Castle is better than those other picks.

Wouldn't attach Castle in any way. Mostly because I can't do another year of Vassell being a featured guy.

#2 + Castle is right on the borderline for me. I'm a slight lean towards no, but it's close and I think it's about what would be required to actually move up to #1.

The ones that are all picks I'm probably a yes on, though the second one I threw out is a lot of picks. The Trae/Luka deal only cost DAL a single Top-5 FRP. I don't recall the perceived gap between Luka and Trae entering that draft.

I think op was definitely hoping someone would post:
Bend over, i'll show you a gap, that he posted twice and will continue until someone does post that

Didn't Philly moving from #3 to #1 in the Fultz/Tatum draft also only cost them one extra pick?

Flagg's perceived value is obviously high, but I don't think he's worth 3 firsts plus #2. I would do #2 + #14 + SA30 (undoing the DAL swap).
