After they did that they were probably like "Aww ****, we need a 4th K... We can't leave it at three K's"


Have to know what the middle names are to know if it’s ok or not.

Can they just interview the drafted players alone? Seems a bit too much having family or friends there it’s just been awkward.

I actually like Kon a lot. But I wanted him to go to a better franchise.

Sports fans honestly have no idea how hard all these guys work and how much they really really make their sport the center of life. We always want to think it’s like our workplaces, where some guys kinda sleepwalk through things and others are like halfway in. Almost all these dudes would be the most motivated people you’ve ever met, and the variations set in from there.

In a few years?

I would trade him now. Why wait that long? Especially when doing it now would give more playing time/growth for Castle and Harper?

Wemby is ready now. He will have an experienced PG who knows how to score and pass lobs. We extend Fox, and by the time that contract is up, those of Castle and Harper will be up. And by that point they will have more experience themselves. Less pressure on a rookie while still being competitive. It's a solid transition.


Most teams dont have a glut of talent at the PG spot like the Spurs have now, so they cant see the big picture. Harper couldnt have gone to a better team for his career.

Appreciate you! :nod:

Yeah, my opinion of a player instantly drops when they put on those teal jerseys.

Still like him a lot though

Some people feel Utah is going to zag and pick him.

Edit: And the Ainges' picked him. They wanted Brooklyn, but it wasn't going to happen.
