By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI am pretty sure that if your eligible for 2 different countries teams that once you play for one national team in the Olympics that is your team going forward. So KAT is with the Dominican team from now on.nah, plenty of athletes switch countries at the olympics.
in footy you can switch from the "under x" teams to another country as a pro, we lost quite a few players that way. (looking at you Rakitic)
found this on the issue:
KAT played for the DomRep as a 16 year old so he could still switch.
23. A player who has played in a main official competition of FIBA (see article 2-1) after having
reached his seventeenth (17) birthday may not play for a national team of another country.
However, in exceptional circumstances the Secretary General may authorise such a player to
play for the national team of his country of origin if he is ineligible to play for such country
according to this article 3-23 and if this is in the interest of the development
of basketball in this country. An administrative fee as stipulated in article 3-305 and decided
by the Secretary General is payable to FIBA.

Oh yeah he needs to switch over to team USA and get some Gold Medals.
By Moris Go To Post1 more day til Lotto Tyme.I actually really don't care about the lottery. I'm not in love with any of the top prospects and the Wolves don't really need any of them anyway. Whoever they pick won't be expected to come in and start or anything. It's a nice place to be.
Repent.
Jamal Murray 2016.
By diehard Go To Postlike the NBA would let the Lakers not get their pick
Just like the NBA let us keep Chris Paul.
Despite it benefiting my team (although we'd just fuck it up), I rather not have Lakers-Age go through a tank season only to lose their draft pick. That is some soul crushing ass shit
Lakers will be fine.
If they lose the pick they'll just force Durant to sign with the Lakers as compensation.

NY interviewed Hornacek, Blatt and Vogel. That's way too much groundwork to end up with Rambis when the seasons starts.
what the fuck?? Suddenly Knicks interviewing everyone.
The Knicks have interviewed Jeff Hornacek for their coaching job, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com..
Stein adds that Hornacek is getting interest to be an assistant on the Warriors bench. While things did not go well for Hornacek after the Eric Bledsoe (knee) injury in December along with the Markieff Morris drama, Hornacek is one of the better basketball minds left in the coaching pool. He's very likely to get another crack as a head coach
By Moris Go To PostNY interviewed Hornacek, Blatt and Vogel. That's way too much groundwork to end up with Rambis when the seasons starts.Yeah I'm with Moris. Nobody even brought up Hornacek as a name in the NY media and he suddenly gets an interview? It almost feels a bit like they hire a new coach but retain Rambis as an assistant or "part of Phil's higher circle".
By Rob Go To PostWas Hornacek even good? I mean he's obviously better than Rambis but that doesn't mean muchIt means everything. Rambis is really really bad.
By Rob Go To PostWas Hornacek even good? I mean he's obviously better than Rambis but that doesn't mean muchHe's supposed to be a good basketball mind, which seems to be the only thing in common with the interviewed guys (except Rambis lol). Phil ain't looking for a complete coach because he needs to be able to control him.
By Rob Go To PostWas Hornacek even good? I mean he's obviously better than Rambis but that doesn't mean muchHe is. He just ran into the Morris Twins who decided to tank their own future for the sake of killing Hornacek.
I think he'd be better off getting more time as an assistant. But if he had the outright 100% backing of a FO who backed the coach over the players... maybe it could work.
Still like Vogel the most, but Hornaceck deserves a interview.
Would be great if they could get him as an assistant and let him work on some offensive looks for the team.

By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostStill like Vogel the most, but Hornaceck deserves a interview.Without being offensive, If he was going to be an assistant in the role of offensive co-ordinator, he'd be better off at GSW, or a team where he would have more control over the direction. Phil would have too much to say about offense i think.

By Kabro Go To Postthis is me right now.
Yep I'm legit terrified we won't keep our pick.
I think Thibs signs Deng. He's flourished and vastly prefers playing at the 4, still plays defense and won't cripple your spacing.
Rubio
LaVine
Wiggins
Deng
KAT
that's really solid, what do you think rodeo?

they are going to have a high pick, Sabonis would be kinda sexy in Minny
By blackace Go To Postyou don't want 30 mins of Deng at PF…

No one has Sabonis going in the top 10. But when doing prospective mocks I have been saying the same thing.... He seems like a nice fit if they can't get Bender or Simmons
By knux-future Go To PostNo one has Sabonis going in the top 10. But when doing prospective mocks I have been saying the same thing…. He seems like a nice fit if they can't get Bender or Simmons
Seen him as high as 8 but 5 would be a reach

Sabonis is not the guy to reach on. I like him a lot, but it's high risk, low reward to pick him at anything higher than 10
By Jonm Go To PostLOL.Yeah, there are gonna be some really obnoxious ones. Probably for the Kangz and Pels.
need some drama tonight, lakers losing the pick and raptors/boston winning the lottery would be good.
By Kabro Go To Postthis is me right now.
im not scressed. we getting the #1 pick. believe.
wonder what the heat look like if Bosh can handle a full season of play in this new, faster style.
but that would require bosh be at the 5 and the last thing bosh needs is constant contact. hmmm.

By Jonm Go To PostLOL.Let a man hope :(
By Omzz Go To PostWe can't win the lottery since Denver can swap, but a 3rd pick would be nice :3ah, shame. need more fuckery then.
Wolves winning 1st would be glorious.
By Moris Go To PostPositive Vibes only please. Thank you.Cmon man. Some of yall Laker fans are talking as if a top pick is guareenteed to the franchise as a birthright. I gotta troll yall just because of that.
It's like a potential free buffet of Crushed Feels with a salad on the side.
By Moris Go To PostPositive Vibes only please. Thank you.Pain and misfortune.
By P S Y C H Go To PostJust let the Lakers lose their pick plsIt isn't like even if they get a top-3 pick they're gonna get a good player.
Lamar Odom with no jumper, Less athletic, less accurate Kevin Durant or a practically unknown Euro.
Come claim your prize!

That sounds a lot better than the other two. That's practically George Gervin.

The Skal scouting report is basically:
Pros: Tall, can shoot a little bit.
Cons: Weighs three pounds, has no idea how to play basketball.

Gervin shot over 50% from the field for his career.
"According to Sporting News, one of the teams that might be interesting in signing the former UCLA Bruins star will be the Los Angeles Clippers."
