Man….

The spurs could become contenders tomorrow with that. Embiid and pop’s window become one and the same

I’d do it in a heartbeat on the Sixers end as well.

Houston and Portland seem more likely to make that kind of move

Maybe Charlotte with Williams and 2 as well

Spurs aren’t coming off that pick though

Easy on the hyperbole….lol

No they wouldn’t.

Dude, he couldn’t win with Maxey, Harden, Harris.

You think he can contend with Sochan, Zach Collins and Keldon Johnson?

You see Devonte Graham becoming prime Steph Curry or something?

I love Embiid.

But, he’s not dragging that shitshow over the finish line.

The Spurs aren’t one elite player from contention.

Not even if that player was Prime Jordan or Prime Lebron.

This is fun to discuss.

Not much basketball left.

But, there is just no way.

@The Q

The size of this kid.

I saw a few sites listing him as 7’2.

He has to be closer to 7’4 or 7’5 in shoes.

Impossibly gigantic

They still would have like 6 other firsts and cap space to make a move

Impossibly gigantic

Super tall, but kind of skinny still. Can he even fill out or is he a skilled Shawn Bradley? Shaq was more impossibly gigantic overall.

 

[Mecca]

Fucking MORON.

Young Howard was really good.

Why must you clout chase though?

Q, they wouldn’t make this trade and you know it.

I was thinking better shooting KG if he has a good motor.

Possibly a monstrous Reggie Miller?

I don’t know about anyone else but I think it’s good for all (non-partial fans that didn’t have ping pong ball) fans of basketball that his first run in the NBA comes with Pop who will do right by the player and look at his game and his frame and bring him into a position where he can be successful as he matures and grows into how to manage his body and his frame. You always wonder about a prospect getting abused by some coach that doesn’t know any better. Pop will do right by the kid and the basketball fan gets to see what he really will become without having to deal with instant malpractice claims in his development.

 

[Wamu]

What a great laugh.

If D. Howard really had a better prime than Jokic why didn't he win at least one MVP award?

Gives Pop a reason to stick around and be re-energized too

You’re right but if I’m Presti this is why I built up the war chest. I offer double digit picks and Chet. You have to make that call and force them to say no.

In the end they have to say no. The point of all those picks is that one of them turns into a guy like Wem, and they already got one.

I’m pretty confident no one even calls the Spurs, it is known

 

[Mecca]

Absolutely.

Not like they lose their draft pick for trying.

What I’m saying is: None of that is likely enough.

This isn’t the Anthony Bennett draft class.

Shit, this isn’t even the Blake Griffin Pick.

This is Tim Duncan, Lebron James, Lew Alcindor shit.

.000000000000000000000000000000000000001 chance you could offer enough.
