None of these guys are cornerstone pieces they don't need to be kept by anyone.

Exactly I agree, except for DJ who is a top 5 defensive guard in the league. Just saying we had chips to cash in (Kawhi, Aldridge, Demar) but we were thinking short sighted. Better late than never I guess tho

a part of it is you can’t just let a player like harden walk for nothing, could move him down the line. but i wonder if another part of it is morey not wanting to having nothing to show after trading ben simmons. it would be outright embarrassing to trade the former #1 pick for a half season rental that finished with a 2nd round exit.

Is two years younger than Chet Holmgren and outplayed him last summer in the U19s.
Missed the deadline to be eligible for this past draft by four days.

Ok. I'll start with that game to get a bead on his game. Yeah he's definitely an interesting playerNice enough to give Chet and Team USA the business

As a Spurs fan since 89………. Not to tell my age but 89 loyal fan and they do this. I get the trade, all I know we better end up with the #1 draft pick.

The Kings and Knicks being bad is largely due to organizational reasons

It’s amazing at how many people put college basketball on a pedestal, still.

Victor is definitely the real deal. He’s better than Chet holmgren right now who just went #2 while being 2 years younger.

They just rarely ever draft well. They've had chances but more often than not never do the logical thing.

I mean sure. I guess. You still need a hell of a lot of luck in the draft to actually land the #1 pick.
Spurs notoriously tanked and got Duncan and now are blatantly tanking for Victor. If they go for 2/2 the system rigged.

Harden taking a pay cut….
People are not seeing that him has nothing to do with altruism and they shouldn’t be surprised he did. Him doing this is good for both sides in the long-term.
Look at Russ for example. He had no choice but to opt in because his next deal will be ***. If he had the ability to do the same thing then maybe it could have helped the Lakers in free agency. But anyway, let’s say Harden falls off a cliff next year similar to Russ. His deal would be way less than than whatever he takes in the mid-30s.
Cap friendly deal that secures you financially for multiple years. I see no problems
Extension. Otherwise he would have opted in and taken the $47Mm.
How is it likely to happen with the flattened 14% lottery odds for the Bottom 4
Its going to be weird seeing them be in that conversation, though 
I don’t think that B/R tweet was praising or criticizing the moves. To me seemed just like matter of fact statements and legitimate question

If the Spurs go 0-82, they would still have an 86% chance at not getting Victor Wembanyama.

Maybe because they were so good for so long, Pop is a top coach of all-time and Spurs are a top organization but this is the first time I have have seen please praise a tank. Just saw a tweet saying it is the most honorable tweet of all-time and folks in here seem to feel positive about it.

It’s pretty obvious who will get Victor at #1
The Knicks. Everything has led up to this moment
