Here's the story in English: "The 35-year-old coffee- and wine-loving Frenchmen is reportedly returning to his home country to play in France’s top-tier professional basketball league for the Levallois Metropolitans in Paris."

I don't know if we can keep him for much longer. Head coaching jobs will be incoming sooner rather than later, IMO. People are starting to notice him and what he's doing...

Seems like his players love him too(seems like Dragic was considering retiring from the National team):

So as expected, we now have four employees on the staff with experience as NBA general managers: Dennis Lindsey, David Morway, Justin Zanik and Kevin O'Conner. We have a head coach that is universally praised by the other head NBA head coaches. We have a widely acclaimed assistant head coach and we have one of the best developmental coaches in the business in Johnny Bryant.

Hayward's unplanned departure notwithstanding, it looks to me like Gail Miller and Steve Starks are doing everything they can to assemble the best possible team of front office personnel and coaches. Go Jazz!

Would be sweet if Gobert was ranked higher than Hairwood. I think a healthy Favors could push back into the top 50

Your wish is granted....

Haywood #20, Gobert #14

That Rudy ranking is gaudy - knocking on the door of the top 10! I expect he will surprise yet again with way more offensive juice. I think he and Rubio are going to be very good friends this year.

Next summer, Rudy makes it in to ESPN's top ten!

And finally the top 10:

Draymond as a top 10 player is just plain stupid IMO, and makes me re-think putting any value in this list. But at least they got #1 right.

The Jazz sign Nazareth Mitrou-Long :

It's a a training camp signing. Sounds like a possible shooter for he GLeague Stars.

I have no problem with Green at #10. He is an insane defensive player and offensively he does a lot of things that go in the boxscore but even more that do not.

Doesn't bother me at all either. Freak defensively, great ball mover, runs the floor, shoots the 3 decent. In the end he allows the Dubs to play a style that is almost impossible for any other team to play. If Dray were crazy good on offense his name would he LeBron.

I was hoping Donovan would pick #13 with the same attitude as Rudy towards the draft. I guess he was excited to go that high. I had him
pegged higher the whole time.

I thought the lead suspect for stealing paintings would be Jeremy Evans, but oh, well.

If Favs and Burks came out and rocked it this year all my predictions would just be 2-3 years later than I thought.

Wait, so we'll get to see Favors increasing his 3pt shooting as a part of the game-plan this season? I'm glad he's working on his game but I'm not sure that's the best way to go.

If he makes half of his long 2s into 3s that will help a lot. Both efficiency-wise and spacing wise.

If Favors can come out stroking it I will be stoked!!!!!!
