2+14 for 6 + Sarr + Bilal.
#2 for #6 + Bilal + 6 future firsts (they have some incoming picks) + swaps in all the other years is the min to not make me hang up instantly.
2+14 for 6 + Sarr + Bilal.
thats what im hoping for tbh
Wemby/Bilal & Castle/Sarr extensions in consecutive summers sounds awful. That's if Sarr/Bilal/Castle pan out. Jeez Castle might be the best shooter of those 3 lol.
lol y’all still trying to trade Harper lmao
Is Edgecomb worse than Harper? Am I the only one who sees Anthony Edwards in Edgecomb and his demeanor and athleticism? Harper is much better skilled at this point. I’m not denying his finishing ability is elite. But I’m like if Harper hits he kinda plays like Castle. And if Edgecomb hits then he plays like Edward’s. I’m not so sure it’s as cut and dry as Harper being the second guy
Edgecombe has not shown the handle to ever get close to being Edwards or anything even close to that as an on-ball creator. His handle and poor finishing at the rim (when not dunking) are two of his biggest areas for critique.
Edwards wasn't really the greatest prospect coming out of college. Edgecombe kinda blows him away across the board pretty much:

my problem with Edgecombe is him shooting just over 40% at the rim. He is not a very good finisher despite the leaping ability. He also doesn’t have a very good handle but that can be fixed.
Comparing Edwards and Edgecombe. Edwards was a guy they questioned whether he actually liked basketball. Edgecombe is one of the most compe ive prospects in this class
Harper has better handles, is a better finisher, has a higher basketball IQ. Harper is getting it done with skill where as Edgecombe is more reliant on athleticism. I would say Harper has a much higher floor. And as if having another Castle would be a problem. I don't even think Castle is Castle yet. Was just his rookie year.
you pick Harper cause he's the most complete player and the safest pick out of the bunch. There are a few players behind him who could become better than him down the line. Would you bet money on it? I wouldn't.
The worst thing you can do with #2 is up the pick. So you take Harper and figure it out later.
I take Harper, but I do think that Edgecombe is closer to Harper than Harper is to Flagg. I also think there's more upside potential with Edgecombe, but his floor is much lower.
Yeah I’m not saying Harper isn’t better right now. He clearly is better at many things like finishing at the rim and dribbling. I’m just saying that at their peak I can see Edgecomb being the better player. Like the dude (to me) looks like a clone of AE and if everything works out and he develops to the best of his ability then I can see him being a top 10 player in the league.
Anyways just my two cents. I can see why we take Harper over him but if I’m Philly I am taking Edgecomb and not looking back. He might be the best player of the draft the way that Tatum was in his draft.
That’s what differentiates prospects. You can’t wishcast their highest outcome. High ceiling/high floor guys are in a completely different category from high ceiling/low-mid floor guys. That’s why the consensus is that there is a bigger gap between 2 and 3 than 1 and 2.
So it seems like many teams are trying to trade up to get Harper, making crazy offers even.
Somewhere I read that something like #2 + keldon for #6, #18, bilal and Sarr (lol) is actually an offer that wizards fans would consider. They feel that Harper would be their foundational player they could build the whole team around.
That’s pretty exciting. Definitely a keeper.
I don't actually like that offer. Needs draft picks added for me to even consider it. The 6th pick is a nothing pick and I'm not big on Sarr at all. That brings it down to Bilal, and Bilal ain't anywhere near enough. Nah, Giannis would be one of the only trades I'd be interested in.
Sure I wouldn’t do it. But Sarr was a #2 pick and they moved up to draft bilal so I think that would be a haul and it means they are offering their Crown Jewels which to me means we definitely are about to draft a future super star.
You can’t compare a high pick in a draft with a high pick in a good draft. Wiseman is still in the league, and he was a #2 pick. Why not just take a package from Detroit built around him?
Yep...that's why I started with "I take Harper"
So we can get two prospects I hate in Bailey and Sarr
No ing thanks Washington, go your mother some more
Sadly that’s all they got. Thems the Crown Jewels. But to me this just confirms that Harper is gonna be the harden/shai 2.0 that we believe. Those Washington execs are all presti acolytes who know their . Can’t wait for the draft.So we can get two prospects I hate in Bailey and Sarr
No ing thanks Washington, go your mother some more
Lol at most of these takes in this stupid thread.
Harper is the expected number 2 pick not just because of hypotheticals but actual production and clear cut abilities. There is no rationale but to draft him after Flagg. It's that simple.
The only way the Spurs trade Harper is if they get an All NBA 1st teamer to complement Wemby and even that is only correct if the Spurs don't lose too much depth in that process. No possibility of that exists - Giannis isn't quite available and even if he is, the Bucks will get a ransom hurting the Spurs future.
All these stupid Wizards trade for their young talent - a bunch of above average prospects makes no sense to give up a potential home run who can grow with Wemby as the Spurs transit to a contender.
The Spurs and their fans should focus on the 14th pick and it offers more rationales and scenarios than 2.
None of those Wizards players can shoot. They can package their 4 best rookies and I'd still say no. Where the are you going to play those guys?
