    “Next summer we’ll take a really hard look at bringing him [Freeland] over,” Buchanan said. “He’ll be 25 and starting to enter the prime of career and will have another high-level European season under his belt. Next summer, we’ll have serious discussions about it.”
    “He would love to come over and play in the NBA,” Buchanan said. “We want to make sure if and when we bring him over, he’s ready to contribute. I would say of our three guys — Victor, Joel and him [Koponen] — he’s probably the furthest away from being able to help our team.”
    “I think Victor is an NBA player right now. But he wants to stay over for another year and play with Valencia. His team was in the EuroLeague this year, it was a good season for him and he wanted to stick around for one year. But Victor is ready to come over and play in our league right now.”

    Doesn't look like we'll see any of these guys on the hardwood next season. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Viktor or Joel in the Fall of 2012 according to that recap as both seem to want to play a bit longer overseas.

    Why is there no dialogue about getting broadcasts (even if they are delayed by days or weeks) of these three on their teams that they will be playing on this year. I would love to see these guys play while our own lockout goes on. Between Comcast (sports net) or Paul Allen, someone should have the pockets or strings to pull to make this feasible right?

    Here it is real simple. 


    Damian you are a public figure now, therefore, you have zero privacy. The kid took your photo while walking outside, he didn''t scope you out in the men''s room, not a big deal. Lastly, your name...

  2. The Mock Draft Thread

    Maybe we should go for Pekovic as a restricted free agent and see what Minn will do.

    Time will tell. As it is well known round these parts, I do not have much hope for athletic big men. (JJ Hickson doesn''t count).

    He''s too big to be a SF, to big to be a PF, so Centre.

  5. Roster Ideas?

    Henson and Harkless yes, Nicholson, not really.

    Okay, I''ll admit it, I like Asik better. I definitely think they will both have very good careers. And finally, someone who agrees, that Ibaka is a  shot blocker, not really a great defender.

  7. Rebuilding The MAGIC Way

    Magic have a center and tons of young talent, extra picks and a future with a lot of cap space so yah the MAGIC.

  8. Rebuild Diagram 2.0

    Started by cmeese47 on 05/17/13 at 2:53 PM

    Henson will be solid down the road but his ceiling is more like Taj Gibson. He is a great role player but not elite like Sanders and Ibaka could be if people were not so willing to shoot on him.
