Is he competing or playing with them? He could be part of champ if that roster plays out right.

He could be an All-NBA player elsewhere. Don’t know if that happens here. But maybe Fox would be willing to delegate to him idk.

Am I wrong for hoping something happens for Castle to get traded to another good organization who needs him?

Having him compete with Fox and now Harper for minutes at his spot is icky.

Yup wrong again
 
The amount of spacing Bailey has to work with compared to Rutgers is night and day, and these two games have been w/o Lauri

I have no idea. The Spurs didn’t need Harper but you can’t not take him if he’s available

If Harper ends up living up to the hype and they all want to stay in San Antonio, feels like you have to just start all 3. One of Castle or Harper is going to lose out on a lot of money that way, hopefully it’s made up for in championships

You for sure have to take Harper if he’s there. If I were the Spurs I’m probably looking to choose 1 of the 3 to move forward with Wemby and selling very high on the other two to bring in a superstar and form a nice big 3.

They have more than enough assets and cap space to get that done and still fill out their roster with necessary role players if they aren’t on the roster already. There’s a team out there that will value Castle a lot and there’s probably better fits for the Spurs if they’re going to have him play the 3/next to Fox.

No point in having 3 young ball dominant guards with only one of them being known as a shooter for floor space.

The Spurs value Castle way more than you do. There's no chance they're moving him.

I’d keep Castle over Harper but yeah, doesn’t seem realistic to have both + Fox + Wemby. That’s a contract nightmare waiting to happen

I mean yeah if we’re picking anyone out of the 3 it’s Castle.

I’m not sure if the Spurs went and got Fox and extended him just to move him though.

Fox won’t be there once Castle and Harper are good enough for 2nd contracts, more than likely.

I’d be shocked if they kept the core together that long. Just doesn’t make sense play style wise. Way too much talent that plays the same position/does the same things.

They don't though. Harper and Fox are fairly similar. Castle is nothing like them.

I don’t know why you don’t want to listen to the words that come out of Castle’s own mouth when he says he wants to play PG.

Man shutup. You and SJ commented on 3 straight posts without me responding and trying to play victim now.

I was having a regular conversation with REB. It’s you two who want to shun this idea so bad only because I’m saying it.

Proof is in the pudding bossman
 
Liam had a better game this time around, 5 points and 2 assists in 15 minutes off the bench

Cam also had 15 minutes off the bench. 11 points, he was 2-8 from the field and 1-6 from three but was 6-6 on his FTs

Non UConn - Ryan Kalkbrenner may be a starter, played 25 minutes and did great with 14pts/10reb on a perfect 7-7. Cooper Flagg had 11 points on 4-8, 4 assists and 3 steals but also 5 turnovers. Didn’t realize James Wiseman was with Indiana, 10 points and 5 rebounds in only 12 minutes

Brother, me and Cardiac argue with each other all the time for sport...it's fun.

Listen to the Spurs and listen to people who cover the league. Castle is untouchable. He's going to be one of the best two way players in the league soon.
 
Clingan with more fouls than points. Dude needs to start playing basketball.

Castle is the last thing anyone has to worry about.

Clingan is entering his senior year. After an injury plagued rookie season, I expect him to settle in as a dominate defender and his improve his offense.

Nobody thinks Castle will be bad.

It’s just the difference between him being Celtics Jrue Holiday and SGA.

Firstly, he won’t ever be Shai.

Secondly, there is A LOT of in between there.

He’s bigger, stronger, and more athletic.

Not sure why you would say that so definitively. He’s already ahead of where Shai was timeline wise.

Only reason he won’t be is if your idea of what’s best for him happens and he spends most of his career being Fox’s sidekick.

Yep, just a different type of player. I’m high as heck of Steph but any realistic fan knows in the back of their mind his peak isn’t a top-3 player, MVP in the league.

I know you’re gonna disagree, so let’s just save the rest of the board and move on from this.

Yes. It’s super unrealistic to think the ROY who averaged 15 a game can develop into a top 3 player.

It’s not like the current guy was 6th in ROY voting averaging 10 a game. Impossible for our guy though.

I’d love to be wrong, don’t think I will be though. Agree to disagree!
 
Tyrese scored all 11 of his points in about the last 5 minutes of the game, including the game winning FTs to cap a double digit 4Q comeback. 8 minutes, 11 points, 3-3 shooting (2-2 from three)

7 bench minutes for Andre. 7 points and 3 rebounds, 1-2 shooting and 3-4 FTs

Non UConn: Olivier Sarr with a nasty game winner. Kel’El Ware continues to light it up, 24/10 in 24 minutes.

 
I assume San Antonio verbal agreed to give Fox a max extension before they knew they would get the number 2 pick in the draft...but I really think it was a mistake. Castle and Harper are going to need to play and grow together as much as possible.

He’s a great trade piece for #4
