Dylan Harper has a strong chance to join the long list of rookies who won an NBA championship in their first year. But he is not merely a wide-eyed spectator on the bench. He will continue to play a key role for the San Antonio Spurs as they take on the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.

Harper has been a revelation in the playoffs , hiking his numbers and being even more of a dependable weapon off the bench. He has also proven that he can be plugged in as a starter, filling in when De'Aaron Fox was sidelined for a few games due to an ankle sprain.
If there is one person who is mighty proud of the crafty lefty, it is his dad, Ron Harper. The former NBA guard is very happy with his son's situation in San Antonio , flatly rejecting trade ideas on X involving the 20-year-old playmaker, who was drafted as the second overall pick.
One fan said the Spurs could send the younger Harper and Devin Vassell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Donovan Mitchell .
"It's not gonna happen at all!" wrote the elder Harper.

"If the Cavs turned Donovan Mitchell into Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell, I'd be doing backflips," added another fan .
"I won't," replied the five-time champion with the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers .
A fan joked that the younger Harper and Stephon Castle could be a good fit for the Dallas Mavericks , who could send Khris Middleton and the 30th pick in this year's draft to the Spurs. He added: "San Antonio gets an established, elite forward with championship experience as a second option. Dallas gets young talent that works with (Cooper) Flagg 's timeline."

The 62-year-old Harper, who did not recognize the sarcasm, commented: "No, they don't!"
The Spurs will be in serious mode in the NBA Finals, as they try to win the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time since 2014.
Fortunately, the younger Harper does not have to look far to find someone with championship experience to ask for valuable tips.
