Doubtful. Spanish folks love their siestas and hate working on weekends so Cuban said he doubts they'll be able to send it over.

Let's hope it gets in on time so Luka can play with Dennis tomorrow vs the Bucks.

Anthony Randolph is still on that list... Wasn't he fired?

It's a stereotype, yes, but it's partially based on truth

When I lived in Spain, I had some "first hand" experiences with it. I wouldn't say Spanish are lazy, but they do not really feel the need to go for that extra mile

Thats your opinion, but in the real world thats not true,
In fact, the numbers say that spaniards work more hours than frenchies or germans for example

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/maps-and-graphics/nationalities-that-work-the-longest-hours/

Anyway, I hope we can see Lukas debut in summer league.

Interesting, a bit surprising. I would have thought the Germans are the hardest workers.

P.S. Nice to see my own country in the top10

My opinion is that there is work and there is "work". I'm not going to go further than that, just that I agree with initial Jstock's post. No need for me to further upset Spanish friends.

As for France, no comment there, it's the legislation that is giving French short weeks and many in France are arguing for a 32-hour working week.

Anyone has any good Cuban gif after he reads this article?

Giannis Antetokounmpo praises Luka Doncic

The ‘Greek Freak’ spoke highly of the 19-year old phenom: “He is the most exciting player that has appeared in basketball… in the recent years. I think he will have an immediate impact in the NBA. Last season he won the Spanish League, the EuroLeague, the EuroBasket and he was also the MVP of the Final Four and the regular season. He has shown that he is ready to play and has matured faster than the rest players. He has played against professionals, as Charles Barkley said. People in the NBA sometimes forget that in the EuroLeague competition, they play very well and very hard. It’s harder than the NCAA. You have to be very good to stand out in the EuroLeague, and Luka is.”

He may very well be his new teammate in the next couple of years. Legalized tampering LOL :nod:

Didn't he say that he wants to win it with the Bucks?

J_T · Post #114 » by **J_T** » Sun Jul 8, 2018 4:13 pm

Have you ever heard "I want to win, but with a different club in couple of years."

Bust

Confirmed, trade back for Young

Haha, how many ATL fans would want that now?

I wouldn’t. Just finish 6th worse like you probably will and give us that 2019 1st. That’s all you need to be concerned with right now. Thanks.

Took you a while. What happened, did Trae finally have a game where he didn't suck? :lol:

And I was calling that for a while, I knew he couldn't play EVERY game like that, he has to have a good game here and there, especially when he has the green light to do anything he wants. And there you see Hawks fans getting some life back, like lizards do after 15 minutes of morning sun.

No actually I was returning one of your analysts Blusan back to you. He came over to the Hawks board trying to break down Trae’s game for us. Personally I’d rather have Brian Windhorst. So take your boy blue back and just finish 6th worst! Oh and Donnie Nelson will never be as good as his dad.

There are at least 9 teams worse than us. The pick will probably be in the 12-15 range if I had to guess. Im sure Trae and Luka will both be fine though. Both teams can very easily win from the trade.

Looking at it objectively, 6th worse is quite unlikely. So it's best that you temper your expectations for that pick.

He did.
I expect him to stay with them longterm as long they continue to put talent around him. There are guys like Paul George that will want to play with him.
Milwaukee has a new arena, new coach that was in demand, and the future is only promising
