Agreed, I could see his father in him from day one.....he seems like a more athletic version of his father.
Talking about Derek Harper, correct?

Sent from my CPH2417 using RealGM mobile app

His dad is Ron Harper.

So is Paul George approaching Middleton territory now?

It was a little shocking when the Clippers let him walk for nothing. Now hes got three years left at 51, 54 and 56. And Embiid's three year extension doesn't even begin until next season..Wow

For as well as they seem to have drafted lately, imagine having two Dame contracts but they both go longer.

Lebron to the Mavs?

Twitter know nothings seem to think so. Reunion with AD and Kyrie makes sense on some level.

I don’t get why the Lakers are “rebuilding” and would buy him out. You have Doncic, Reaves, Ayton and LeBron. Sure there isn’t much else, but why not try one more run with him?

He has been beyond Middleton for years.

Zach Lowe talked about the Knicks making the most sense for a LeBron trade on paper with OG heading to LA.

That said he also had a Heat reunion as his dark horse.

Mavs would be so weak if it happens but there’s been so much corruption already with Luka and the #1 pick so who knows.

Probably his best shot at a championship. Lakers are headed for another first round exit, possibly at the hands of Dallas

Lakers aren’t going anywhere with their current team

Bucks got out ahead of this year’s ago and don’t even have a pick in the 27 draft.

Why is all this Dallas love coming in? I was listening to a pod recently and someone had Dal in their top 5 lists. The team floundered after the trade and Kyrie is out most of this year and then will be playing fresh off a torn acl at like age 32. AD is hurt every year and is now another year older. Flagg is 18 years old. Thompson is a shell of what he was. Sorry, I just don't see how that team as it currently sits has any chance in the west beyond being a play in team. If I see a Dal season over at like 50 wins like things like this imply I will bet everything on the under. Like 4 months ago everyone was clowning on Dal and now all of a sudden people think they're good?

Can we just pretend he will shoot 38% from three like he did in a small sample at PHO?

Would you be interested in him on a minimum deal?

I would but looks like that last spot is going to thanasis. Not going to lose sleep over a replacement level guy

He was third in steals in the nba per minutes behind Dyson Daniels and Caruso. Gotta be worth more than Thanasis

Linden Wigginton is worth more than Thanasis but that is beside the point.
