The Euroleague American Tour tips off Oct. 10 with CSKA facing the Magic before the Russians fly to Toronto to play the Raptors on Oct. 14.

I will be sending out schedules and some playoff goodies I have after I get some magnets in the preseason. This time, however, I'll ONLY be sending them overseas, but that still includes you.

Does this team have any players that we might recognize from either the NBA or college?

Those are the ones I'm familiar with.

Anyone think they'd be willing to swap Redick for Trajan Langdon? :)

Maybe we can take back Terence Morris to replace Augustine.

Edit: Does bold look bad to anyone else on these new forums? I can barely tell when something is bolded.

I'm guessing Paul Porter takes the night off from the looks of the names of those players.

It just so happens it is us & the Raptors that play this team. You know when the time comes our board is going to be flooded...now we absolutely have to win...for our sanity.

I always hate these. If we win, nobody cares. If we lose, it's a freakin disaster. So why do we continue to play these?
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I wouldn't doubt the game being on ESPN2 or something.

Now that would be fun to watch. They make us get the preseason tickets when we buy season tickets so we might as well get something worth watching. We can get a good look at Fran and boo the crap out of him at the same time lol.

Yup. FC Barcelona is playing two games, one vs the Lakers & another vs the Clipps or the Raps.
