Dallas is a mess.
The only positive thing the team has going for them is Luka. They have no pieces around him if value. THJ will want another 18m per year extension, KP doesn't vibe well with Luka, and they cannot attract quality free agents.

Bucks advance. We’re a Hawks Game 7 victory from the first Bud Bowl in the playoffs.

It's probably in Utah's best interest to move him now.

Kevin Love is on the Olympic roster? He can't even handle the NBA schedule and when he did he throws the ball away out of frustration.

There's so much irony in Jalen Rose's assertion...most of it unintended I assume.

Neither Draymond nor Kevin Love deserve to be on the team based on recent performance. But based on skillset, there is indeed a use for them. Is Kevin Love on the roster largely because he's white? :dontknow:

With that said, I would have preferred to see a collegiate or two added to the roster.

Luka Garza in particular would be a great addition for PR and basketball purposes.

Corey Kispert also.

Both Four year collegiates and All Americans who'll be drafted into the NBA pretty soon. In addition, they'd provide an air of diversity to the Olympic roster.

I'm guessing they chose not to participate and instead focus on the Draft workouts. And that's a shame.

i'D LIKE TO GET IN ON THAT ACTION!!!

Adding Wiseman and #7 could seriously raise our ceiling...

Wiseman is having meniscus surgery and will need the off-season to recover. I believe Pascal is having shoulder surgery.

Jerry COLANGELO ON KEVIN LOVE: “The best reason to say ‘why Kevin Love is an extra big’ was because of his international experience. Yes it’s true, he hasn’t played much of anything over these last couple years, but, the skills that he does bring to the table, the commitment that he’s made regarding physical conditioning, he’s a versatile guy up front who can rebound and hit shots. Who is to say how many minutes people are going to play? You’re not playing 12 players. And so it was a matter of filling out the roster with role players.”
