The guy from the Australian team, that went to Shadow Mountain High School in Phoenix?

I mean I’d sign him to a 10 day…he got cut for attitude problems…would he have those problems in the nba? My guess is it was probably an ego issue playing in the NBL. He was good when he played. Robert Franks was pretty interesting to me too, he’s still on the 36ers.

Imagine trading away 5 1st round picks plus players for Rudy Gobert. That frachise is doomed for a decade.

He misses him too. He doesn’t play any more.

He wore down the last one third of the season. I think Dallas realizes that, now, too ...
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Random question:

we’ve seen a few recent instances at the end of games where a team is down 2 or 3 with 1 free throw left and only a few seconds and they rightly miss the free throw on purpose to try and secure the offensive rebound and score quickly.

My question is, what would be the penalty if the defensive team would goaltend the free throw? If it’s just a 1-point penalty, wouldn’t conceding the point be the best strategy, especially if you have a timeout left and could advance the ball?

I had the same thought watching Gobert go coast to coast. He screwed up the finish, but I thought that was a great effort and not deserving of criticism.

Since he's done it multiple times already...yes.
