Captivating

To be clear, I'm not worried or jumping the gun on Harper is unhappy talk. He may be perfectly happy running the second unit and finishing the game vs. starting. That said, I don't think that him starting alongside Fox and Castle makes any sense with the current roster makeup--too many...

Locker room guy that knows his role and stays ready to execute. Winning teams need guys like HB to keep the standard and show the way. Needs to continue making 3s to stay on the court, but I'm good with the old head sticking around while the Spurs build this thing out.

Well, he's not starting ahead of Castle right now, who is also playing great. And longer term, I assume D'Aaron Fox and his $50M contract will be in the way (and justifiably so, hopefully).

Need to keep Keldon and Barnes exactly where they are purely for chemistry purposes--Keldon the fiery emotional leader and Barnes the steady calm presence. As for the poll, too early to tell. Need to see how Sochan shoots and whether Olynyk can play solid third big minutes. If either are true...

4/82 for Camara sets the ceiling IMO. I doubt a deal gets done, but no way it's near $20M/yr. $12-15M/yr seems acceptable, but it hinges heavily on his ability to hit spot up 3s.

That's pretty hostile, considering we don't even know what kind of deal he's expecting. If he develops as a reliable spot up shooter, he's a good Keldon replacement for when he eventually gets traded.

I assume it's likely in Jeremy's best interest to wait, given what he's shown in his game has clear limitations.

This is awesome. If nothing else, it shows the value of this window with Victor, Steph and Harper on rookie deals. The Spurs can afford to be patient and intentional with their roster-building.

If he doesn't sign an extension, does that mean he's a restricted free agent next summer?

The thing for me is his fearlessness. Seems to be very Kawhi Leonard in his approach to the game. The skills and size aren't going anywhere, and the mentality of just playing his game regardless of the opponent is really impressive.

Checking in. Was a sporadic poster the last several years after the toxicity and constant trolling. Willing to give this new site a go.
