Haha. That’s not the correct math. It’s 2025.Well, the lottery is about 35 years old, and the odds of the worst team getting the #1 pick are 25%, so you do the math.

AD has many years left if he can play PF. Between Wemby and AD, they could man the 4 and 5 and be a terror on defense.I agree that it is highly unlikely, but I'd have said the same about the Mavs trading away Luka.
I highly doubt that the Spurs would be interested in AD. He is well past his prime.
Going after a PG also works as Harper is probably the best available, but I don't see how he fits in with Castle and Fox.
This is probably just wishful thinking on my part, as a Spurs fan, but a lineup of Castle, Fox, Barnes, Flagg, Wemby has a chance to be extremely dangerous, and is probably Barnes' best shot at getting a ring.
You also have Vassell coming off the bench, so the Spurs are already extremely deep at the guard spot, regardless of what happens with Paul.
All right. 40 years. 8 out of 40 is 20%, which is still very much in line with the odds. Plus, for the first five years, the lottery odds were flat; and then from 1990 to 1994, the first place team had only a 16% chance.Haha. That’s not the correct math. It’s 2025.
Meant to write "...moving forward." Thank you for catching that.You mean “another ring…” Barnes already has a ring![]()
Well reasoned post, although I have never really been sold on AD. He isn't someone that I would build around, despite his strengths.AD has many years left if he can play PF. Between Wemby and AD, they could man the 4 and 5 and be a terror on defense.
When you have the #2 pick, you don't worry about fit. I mean, maybe don't pick a Wemby clone, but the goal has to be to get the best player. Then you deal someone. I'm not sure Fox and Castle fit that well themselves, and I would think Castle could be moved for a piece that fits the Spurs roster a little. Or maybe Sochan. In any event, Devin Vassell is not a reason to avoid taking Harper.
How long is Fox under contract? He has one year left? Two? You take Harper, play him 20 mpg this year and he becomes the starter next.
And the great thing about having him on the Spurs: they wouldn't have to build around him, because Wemby.Well reasoned post, although I have never really been sold on AD. He isn't someone that I would build around, despite his strengths.
Unfortunately I was right. Sucks for him.Yeah thats an Achilles tear IMO

Dunking was allowed in the NBA when Wilt played and when he played in college. It was outlawed in college from 1967 to 1976. It was never outlawed in the NBA. Dunks just weren’t all that common prior to the 1970s. But as I understand it, Chamberlian dunked in games.Vince Carter territory.

Top 10 NBA Players With The Highest Vertical Leap?
Every NBA player out their has a high vertical but who are the top 10 NBA players with the highest vertical leap? How do past players stack up against present?thesportseconomist.com
Real talk, though - Wilt coming in third all time absolutely blows my mind. I’d heard about him pressing 400 lbs, but being 7.1 and having a 46 inch vehicle? What the fuck?
Can you imagine if he played in an era when dunking was allowed? In today’s era, surround him with three shooters and a slasher and let him work.
If I ever knew that, and it feels like the kind of thing that I knew as a teen, then I had long forgotten. Thanks!Dunking was allowed in the NBA when Wilt played and when he played in college.

There is video of him dunking in games. You can google it.If I ever knew that, and it feels like the kind of thing that I knew as a teen, then I had long forgotten. Thanks!
Yeah. That definitely sparked some memories.There is video of him dunking in games. You can google it.
That’s what I get for being born in ‘79. I am fuzzy about everything sports-wise that came before than other than baseball and UNC sports, both of which I learned about religiously during my elementary school years.Dunking was never banned in the NBA. It was banned in amateur basketball (college and high school) from 1967-76. It was the “Alcindor rule.”
The player (other than Alcindor/KAJ) most negatively affected by the NCAA ban on dunking was David Thompson.That’s what I get for being born in ‘79.
