I wish he was here more to work with Towns and Naz on their footwork - both for balance, jab steps, know where your arms are when finding the balance point ( can't be on your defense's head or chest).

Towns? Did you mean Rudy, Beringer or Randle?

I think he was thinking back to the early years of both Towns and Naz.

Yes, also good idea to have him work with Gobert and Beringer. I can already visualize Gobert doing Ballet in my head :violin:

Randle already has good footwork on offense. Maybe defensive footwork.

Cole Aldrich? What's going on with the posture - I wanna straighten him out and hear it make a satisfying crack like in a cartoon.

Good for him. He'll probably be a star in that league and it sure seems like fun to me living in Melbourne for a year or two.

Meh - Personally, I hated living in Melbourne - I lived all around Aus (all capital cities except for Perth and Hobart) and Melbourne was the worst - Granted, my opinion will be a far cry from most peoples as I grew up country so not a fan of big city living (Darwin is my favourite city in Aus which is essentially a big country town).

What if Kahn drafted Curry?

What if MIN traded Kevin Love for Klay Thompson?

Funny. Melbourne/St Kilda is my favorite part of Australia (that I’ve been to so far - Perth/Fremantle, Brisbane/Burleigh Head, and Melbourne/St Kilda) but I hope to see more. I’ve heard good things about Adelaide and also Cairns.

Wowser, that made my head hurt. It was an interesting read, but I lost track of who was playing where at times.

I'm still mad that Kahn didn't take Curry with either pick, though!! He would have been wonderful. :nod:

That's what makes some of these exercises pointless. Every move like that has a domino effect. And there's no guarantee of replicating the success someone has from one franchise to another. Keep in mind, Steph Curry would have been coached by Kurt Rambis to start his career.

It's called the Butterfly effect. Change one tiny thing and everything else changes over time. Fidel Castro had a baseball tryout with the Twins. What if Calvin Griffith had signed him.

Yeah like I said, being country raised I just hated the hustle and bustle of it all - Similar feelings to Syd to be fair - Adelaide is brilliant and anything top end is absolutely beautiful.

They wouldn't be wrong for the most part. Gluten free vegan milkshakes are everywhere :-?
