2014 FIBA World Cup

[Mori Chu]

I'm worried about how much Goran Dragic is playing in the World Cup. They were supposed to keep his minutes under 25/game but lately they haven't stuck to that. He'll barely get any break before the next NBA season starts. I'm worried that his body will have undergone so much stress that something will snap/tear/pop during our season just when we need him the most. That will be especially bad if Bledsoe ends up gone, as seems more and more likely.

2015 is not a bad option for Zoran. He saves 1M, gets to play ACB and Euroleague competition and if he wants to play with his brother he can arrive to a better situation roster wise.

Behind a resurgent desire to pursue the NBA culminating in a successful World Cup showing, Slovenian shooting guard Zoran Dragic has maintained discussions with the four teams interested in signing him for next season: the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic, league sources told RealGM.

He's done. The US knocked them out yesterday. The minutes restriction was only for the friendlies, I believe.

Serbia just destroyed Brazil. Bogdanovic scored 12 points (4/3 2pt, 2/5 3pt), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 TO. The guy can flat out shoot. He nailed one brutal three from 30 ft with one hand in his face.

And again, Raduljica should be considered to give the bench a different weapon. We have Shavlik Randolph...

Chicks dig the long ball and so does Bogdan. He hit a 30 footer in the previous game too.

[INFORMER]

All his youtube videos are filled with him hitting 3s far behind the line, and the impressive thing is that a lot of the times he hits them off the dribble.



I'm torturing myself watching Rudy Gobert. Man I wanted to walk away from the "disaster" 2013 draft with him. Still would love to have him on the Suns.

[Ring_Wanted]

I like Plumlee a lot. I consider ring and weak side protected enough with him. Probably why I don't long for Henson either.

By the way, France has its own cheap version of Miles. Lauvergne. Miles worse, of course ehhehe.

[Ring_Wanted]

Spain 7 down at half. Really stagnant offense but France has more clarity and is defending better as well. Orenga is making some mistakes, like using Navarro or Calderon instead of Rudy in certain lines.

Spain down by 5 with 1:50 left.

[INFORMER]

It's a good game too.

"Rudy Gobert has been an incredible force at the rim."

[Zeratul]

Wow what a game by France! Great collective win despite no Parker, Noah etc.

I don't know what happened to Marc Gasol though, he really player horribly... Actually only Pau had a good game for Spain

[INFORMER]

"My MVP is Rudy Gobert."

-Fran Fraschilla

[sunset rubdown]

Rudy Gobert and my boy Jo Lauvergne were force in the paint, indeed.

Should be a great game on friday semis, Serbia - France.

[In2ition]

INF, I was with you in that I really liked Gobert. In a combination and hindsight, he would have been great if the Suns moved down in the draft for a couple picks and gotten Gobert and the Greek Freak.

[INFORMER]

I really wanted to (and would still love to) pair Olynyk and Gobert

Rudy Gobert and my boy Jo Lauvergne were force in the paint, indeed.

Doesn't Denver own the rights to Lauvergne?
