Future Spur: Dylan Harper

[daslicer]

I honestly think his floor is pre-knee injury Ron Harper, who was an extremely solid player. That’s good news.

I disagree pre-injury Ron Harper was a super athlete. Surprisingly he doesn't have the out of this world athleticism his father had.

[CGD]

Spurs trying to move up from 14 makes more sense. Wonder if it's Knueppel they're targeting tbh. Or who else it may be.

PG13 incoming in 3, 2, 1

Probably cheaper than Durant. But in no way do I want to come off of 2.

I was responding to the part about 14 being in the mix. Seems unlikely but if the Sixers are indeed desperate to get off PG13 would Vassell/Barnes/14 get you up to 3?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Don Harris posts an interview with the owner today and then follows it up with twitter posts claiming the spurs are taking Harper

Doesn't really mean anything. It still could go either way. Could be the truth or could be a smokescreen. None of us know what is going on behind the scenes, really.

Shams reported Wemby is 100% weeks ago. He has already been cleared for basketball activities

Yes, I know. I want more than anything for Victor to be fully healthy going forward, but until he plays and I/we see it's all good, still a little bit apprehensive about it. Hearing that report, though, definitely made me feel better.

That's because his other parent is Filipino lol. His mother's genetics are holding him back athletically tbh.

I was going to post that as the reason , but I certainly did not want to take a shot at any Filipino fans/friends.

You read my mind lol I was thinking the same exact thing. He got his dad's height and got his mom's athleticism.

[ambchang]

Have you guys ever seen Fillipinos play ball? They are the quickest mofos out there. Crazy handles too.

[exstatic]

Fine takes but once again you dodge the question. If we knew Wemby was 100% fine, would you do that deal?

And while we are at it, who would you take with the 3 pick? And no saying Harper falling to 3 that’s cheating.

You keep stone walling while I was legitimately interested to get your opinion.

I don’t deal in hypotheticals. He apparently hasn’t been cleared for EuroBasket yet.

I am not going to hand Daryl Morey the next James Harden, either. The man has a lot of flaws. He treats players like a video game. He mishandled the Simmons situation. He mishandled the Harden situation. One thing is for sure though: the man knows and understands talent. That is undeniable. He saw Harden the finished product through the lense of a 3rd year player who was mostly a sixth man. If he wants Harper, I want Harper.

Let me make this clear. I am not interested in trading Dylan Harper for anything I’ve heard in the run up to the draft. Nothing. Not even Giannis. No veteran players. No tradebacks.

I really think all tne Philly talk about #3 is us exploring options to move up...not down... I might not like it, but I could definitely see them attaching #3 to offload PG if we don't go the KD route.... it just feels more 'due diligence' on move up options instead of us trading #2 for #3 + mid picks

I think the point was that with a DVT scare already and Wemby's unique body type, he has a higher-than-average chance of his career being cut short by something out of the blue. Being able to draft another potential franchise-level player shouldn't be passed up on just because we already have Wemby. I am firmly in the just pick Harper and keep him camp.

Agree

Spurs have their two cornerstone franchise players in Wemby and Harper. It took incredible luck to land both and you don't trade that luck away for role players/ future unknown draft picks.

But can they jump?

[BatManu20]

Zion and TMIII for #2. Who says no tbh.

[sfernald]

Alright swap the 2 for 3 + 4 first round picks? I just think it’s odd that everyone thinks Harper is priceless when he doesn’t even have a jump shot and hasn’t played a down in the league yet.

BTW I’m fine with the pick of Harper I just think it’s interesting to think about what if with two more weeks to kill until maybe we finally know.

im absolutely fine with discussing. I just have strong personal feelings on it. I really hope the front office doesn’t go this way. I think it hits a nerve with a lot of people on here, which is fine. We just have to deal with it and hope for the best.

[AFBlue]

The Spurs. No way they take on Zion with his current legal troubles, injury history and questionable work ethic. I can't think of a more anti-Spur, don't care how "buy low" he might be.

[picnroll]

So have more teams asked the Spurs for the 2 pick or the Knicks asked more teams for their head coach now?

Us Noypis catching strays... dafuq, mang.

[RC_Drunkford]

PG13 incoming in 3, 2, 1

that contract would actually have the same length as KD's. It's just that it's podcast P and not KD. If they send the #3 with him, I'd probably do it

Zion and TMIII for #2. Who says no tbh.

give me Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Jose Alvarado and some Bucks picks and we have a deal

[John B]

But can they jump?

Ask Jordan Clarkson and Jalen Green. They’re both half-Filipinos.

[BacktoBasics]

I was responding to the part about 14 being in the mix. Seems unlikely but if the Sixers are indeed desperate to get off PG13 would Vassell/Barnes/14 get you up to 3?

I don’t think it gets you to 3 however if the Pelicans want to move up without taking PG it could get us to 7 with assets going to Philly.

I've wanted PG since Kawhi was on the team, and would have still wanted him up until the start of last season. Not sure about it anymore, though. Not sure if had a down year and can bounce back, but if he can't, I'd actually be interested in that if they also got the number 3.
I don't know, this sh#ts getting crazy as I don't want to trade the 2nd pick, but now I'm getting caught up in the scenarios like a lot of other posters here.

Darn, good point. I forgot those guys are half Filipino. Jalen Green can definitely get up there.
With Filipinos I am guessing it's more height that is the issue not so much athleticism, but more so height/size. Would you say that's correct? I only know a few Filipinos here where I live and they're pretty short.

With today’s nutrition, equipments and training know-how, everybody can train to jump a little higher (well most everybody). It’s not surprising to see players dunking in the game, when you rarely see 20 years ago.
