there's a timeline where that trade results in dallas and the lakers not making the finals the next 8 years.


Sure...? Not saying they do, just saying the Mavs as an organization did not deserve drafting him after what they did to the fans and franchise cornerstones.

I'm not sure the Spurs needed another PG. Maybe they plan on trading Fox?

We are getting a Spurs decade soon. The talent is criminally good.

I get it, but I have no idea what the Spurs are planning on with their influx of guards now.

They already have Fox and Castle. Are they packaging those 2 for something better? What's the plan?

NBA teams have months to scout and figure out who they want in the draft yet they'll use the entire 5 minutes plus the extra "oick is in" time the nba gives them, every single time, year after year

I still remember whern he mocked your pick, he said something like “a team that can’t shoot just drafted a player that can’t shoot. :lol:

I like Harper on the Spurs but wonder if they now have a surplus of guards now...

First 2 selections were no surprise, now let's see how these next few get.
