Don’t forget Vassel (he’s not a forward) , Paul, Keldon Johnson, Wesley and Champagnie.
smh just feel like we have so many guards we need to get rid of some. 
 

also wouldn’t mind taking that Duke Forward at 14 (if he’s there) and getting rid of Sochan. 

About 2 of those guys can be traded along with this pick for Giannis and maybe some of the future 1st

If we don't get Giannis I don't think you can pass on a player like Harper. This is why I wanted the Spurs to get the 1st pick but theres always a chance the Mavs talk themselves out of Flagg 

It's not like they have a demonstrably incompetent GM

Yeah I don't think I was properly excited because the Dallas thing was so shocking. 

My first instinct was to trade it but Harper may be a stud. I think you take him and if you have too many guards then ship them later. Kyle Mann on Simmons last night was saying he'd be a #1 in plenty of years.

I'm with you. Don't overthink it and just take Harper. Giannis is gonna have a lot of suitors and I don't like giving up a shitload to get a guy on the wrong side of 30.

Dallas will burn the city to the ground if they trade the pick or take someone other than Flagg.

I'm in the "take Harper and let shit work itself out" camp if we aren't somehow involved for Giannis. Ace Bailey is intriguing as well. Can't believe you had those two guys on the same roster and couldn't do better than 15-17 or whatever Rutgers was.

I didn't realize that Harper is Ron Harper's kid until yesterday.

My two cents would that SA would be better off taking that Ace Bailey long term, assuming he can shoot.  You'd have Wemby, Bailey, Fox, and Castle.  That's a helluva young core for literally the next decade.  MIL would want at minimum Castle and the #2 pick in addition to other assets.  

Giannis also has $175M left over three years.

Given his age (just said the same to my boys) what's a realistic trade for the freak? Who and what would you give up?

Leave Giannis alone. He's going to screw up their cap going forward and he's going to deplete the assets that would allow them compete for years. They got so lucky, again. Take Harper. Don't think twice about it. Don't overcomplicate it. 

I'm concerned that they don't have enough (any) shooters, but let's not over think this. Harper is going to be unstoppable playing off of Wemby. They can find some shooters through trades or free agency. They are building this the right way. It's not going to take them long to make the jump.

Depends on what the bidding war looks like. 

For us it would be either Harper or Castle, probably DV or Sochan maybe and then some salary filler and we'd take one of their bad-ish contracts. Plus 3 or 4 firsts I think. 

Sengun is in the deal if you're Houston as is probably two of their promising wings like JSJ, Eason, Whitmore... Amen is likely untouchable. Plus a similar amount of picks.

Bailey has bust written all over him. We take Giannis and we're immediate contenders for the title next year, it puts our rebuild into overdrive. With Harper we have a strong young core that can contend for a decade with Giannis we have a team that can win 2-3 championships the next 6 years.
