Castle should be non touchable. Trading for Giannis looks good for ESPN but not so good for the Spurs future. Thankfully, that is not how the Spurs do things.
Sam Amick: You know what I mean? Like, they want every scenario to gut the other team. And Jon Horst is going to go for blood here, I’m telling you. He just got a new extension. He has the organization’s backing. Jon is not going to just try to be on good terms with Giannis—he’s trying to do right by the Bucks. And that means that if every scenario in play leaves the other team so gutted that Giannis might not actually be in that much better of a situation, then maybe that’s where he looks at the room and says, “All right, let me stay put.”

Giannis…. Welcome to the Brooklyn Nets!
I’m not desperate to engage right out the gate if I’m the Spurs. It’s not ripe yet. Let the player-team drama sour, and wait to be approached.
Dylan Harper will still be Dylan Harper, while whatever the Nets and Rockets choose at their natural picks wont have anywhere near the appeal.
I'm 100% aboard Keep Dylan, but for those entertaining a Giannis deal, has there even been any discussion what Harper is worth in terms of draft capital? In a world where the Bucks might expect four 1st's for Giannis, I think Harper is worth three, minimum. Hard pass at this point on trading.
It really depends on what kind of firsts were talking about. Firsts from good teams or bad teams historically?
It’s not the “Spurs way” to make cataclysmic changes. And that’s what trading for Giannis would be without even giving the 3-guard offense a chance. IF ever the Spurs decide to make changes, it would be by trade deadline. But even then, I expect minor tweakings, bringing in Vets off waivers, etc. People need to know what to expect by now, it’s the “Spurs way.”
I think Harper is worth three solid firsts, minimum. As a for instance, I would not trade Harper for three 6th overalls (the 666 Solution) in this year's draft; and as Washington and Utah will attest, it's unwise to expect better results with any given first round pick. If there's a way for Milwaukee to get Harper, it will begin with their assumption that Harper is the foundation for their path forward, and they will overpay. ...says me, guy who knows nothing.
I mean, I see the argument for moving Harper for Giannis if we only had to add salary + 1 other first, but I also see the argument for simply standing pat (which is a more likely outcome too). The only way I'd trade Harper outside of a Giannis/ Joker/Luka type deal is trading up for Flagg (which Dallas won't do) or trading back a few picks if the FO genuinely doesn't believe in Harper for some reason.
To be sure, I'm 100% aboard keeping Harper. The future is so bright, I'm gonna go buy some shades. Just hate seeing the internet GMs that think we should throw everythig at Giannis. A big NOPE here.
If we’re the Fakers, yes they would sell the farm for a ready-made trophy and worry about next year when it comes. But the Spurs are not the Fakers. They like to grow organically without skipping steps. Keep pounding the rock!
Vassel and Keldon for Giannis straight up works. Just saying.![]()
Sounds good to me...

Harper is also off the table now as he'd be a valuable 6th man...
The only player that I would give up #2 (Harper) if Spurs get Flagg in return. Mavs could get Giannis and Harper for their win-now, Spurs gets Flagg, Bucks gets Vassell, maybe Lively and multiple FRP’s.
Would FO pass up a Fox-Castle-Cam-Giannis-Wemby lineup for Scoot 2.0.
Supposedly mutual interest between Raptors and Giannis.

If you get into the whole Giannis thing, might as well go all in and get KD too.
Fox, Castle, Durant, Giannis, Wemby.
Never going to happen, but do yall think that lineup goes all the way? Probably not, imho. The length of that lineup would be insane, though.
you are dumb as a rock if you think Spurs and Bucks would give Mavs both Harper and Giannis for Flagg lol.
the new CBA prevents dynasties from ever happening again. so that "want to build a dynasty" nonsense, needs to die.
Realistically, can the spurs get Giannis and not include Harper?
Only with Wemby
I think they can as long as they include Castle.
