    “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?

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    Ridnour doesn''t have a lot of offensive game, but he''s irritating as hell as an opponent and that''s what you want. He can run plays and stuff so he would be nice.

    Thanks Siccolo, not to knock on Bosh. I think if he was the number one option he would go back to being a beast. I miss making jokes about him playing for the RAPTORS. He is a great player.

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...

    I watched Shabazz at the combine and he was a poor shooter.  In fact he did  so bad he did not even show up for drills in day two.  He may be a scorer not a shooter.  If he throws up enough shots he scores.  If someone looks a...
