Showing your ignorance yet again. Do you ever post something normal?

They’re all in the NBA aside from Proctor who just played in the final four and will be drafted this year.


I’m just joking, **** rider

You made a really bad joke and then call someone a dick rider for calling it out?

Yeah, bad joke, who cares. He followed me to more of my posts calling out other jokes (that a bunch of others seemed to enjoy) :lol:

Classic **** ride

Dude is just mad I made a joke about Aussies, a very tame joke at that. I know a lot of Australians and they usually have thicker skin

It'd be ridiculous for Kyrie to be allowed to play for Australia just because he's older now. He won gold with the US as a starter...

No guarantee FIBA is going to allow Kyrie to play for them. Especially now coming off an injury. But you missed Dyson's younger brother, Dash, who is looking like another lotto pick in 2026. And Rocco Zikarsky, 7'3 center.

The 2 players I was coming to add to the list.

Also Alex Toohey should be picked up in this coming draft too

Yes Toohey is a definite and zikarsky a few years away.
I think the pg Armstrong (I think his name) from the nbl now at golden state g-league looks good

What has an elbow injury got to do with it?
Kyrie is an Australian citizen so I don't think FIBA can really stop him. Players have switched international teams before haven't they? Like Embid.
Please educate me if I'm completely off...?
Also how does the elbow injury influence FIBA's decision about letting him switch teams- if they have to approve that switch?

Thankyou
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

Kyrie actually played for the Team USA senior Olympic team in FIBA competition. He needs permission from FIBA and Team USA to be able to make the jump. It's unprecedented for someone like Kyrie who medaled with one country to play for another one. That's why I said we'll see.

Kyrie also tore his ACL and is probably out for most of next season, so he won't be building any chemistry with the Boomers on the court for at least that long.

Just saying a lot of moving parts on his piece of any puzzle.

I didn’t follow you. It was literally the next thread I clicked about Nuggets firing Malone, which is the hottest topic right now. You just happened to make another post that contributed.

Also if I wanted to see **** riding, I’d just bring up 1 of your thousand posts about LeBron

Way to pick a thread that I have like 200 and-1s for my “horrible jokes” :lol:

Probably more than a thousand

He dominated grown men in NBL1. I don’t think skill is the issue. I just want to know why no NBL team picked him up as a development player

I wouldn't be surprised if he switches to playing rugby. He was a Jack Jumper (I think) NS who got let go because he wouldn't stop playing rugby even when told not to.

Are either of the Maker brothers still in contention for the team?

Yeah he got a release from Jack Jumpers last year so he could play Rugby. He was also only 17 at the time, so hopefully he has made a decision and will stick with it now. It took Elysse Perry a while to decide and that eventually worked out for her

kyrie would need to be released by USA basketball and FIBA approval, and he's going to be 36 by 2028
