”I think Luka is a dream prospect,” Nash told Yahoo Sports. “Big and mobile enough in the modern game and can guard multiple positions. He has a skillset, a winning mentality and leadership qualities.”

I had the same thought.

People like to hate on Nike for the sweatshops, but they really do make the best gear.

This was posted on Reddit, not sure if it's real but thought it was interesting they swapped spots with Memphis on their board. Doncic to Orlando would be interesting after Hezonja didn't work out lol. Probably safe to assume this is fake though, just for the record.


Most likely the legit board...just written on by an employee that works at the arena (Like a janitor) who wants Doncic and is stirring the s**t.

I dont believe they have the assets it would take nor the caproom to take on Parsons.


I actually think this makes sense for both teams.

Orlando could send them quite a few variations to make it work.

This has already been proven to be fake. But ORL are considering moving up, that is true.

Who cares about Ayton's tipping? Doncic can't even park a car correctly!

Puma's come along way from what they were, just like Nike and Adidas have. Puma's last "Offical" basketball shoe was over 20+ years ago, and was Vince Carters.

I also had a pair of the Disc System Weapon back in Jr High. They wernt bad at all.

Im also excited to see some new sponsored basketball shoes from a different company than Nike/Adidas. While im not a fan of the old Clyde-style basketball shoes they used to make, im digging the design of some of their newer ones, and have to say that im actually thinking about getting a pair.

Who do you trust more to give useful insight, Charles Barkley or Steve Nash?

Ross and #6 for Parsons and #4 can be fair trade for both sides.

Tough question.

I think that Nash would say great things about Ayton too.

Both players are terrific prospects.
