    And Niko Mirotic was a MVP overseas. Guys looking good over in those leagues does nothing for me.

      Nando de Colo was euroleague MVP in 2016. He can't even be a 6th men in the NBA.

        Daniel Theis is going to surprise some people this year. Remember that you heard it here first.

          But this is Euro Basket tournament, with many NBA players playing for their national teams.

          Though some of the biggest stars like Giannis is not playing.

              So apparently the injury wasn't as bad as it looked originally as Markkanen was back today and put up 27 and 9 boards. Again, cool for him, but what guys are doing in these international tournaments and leagues just doesn't matter much to me. Even Melo is a markedly different player there than in the NBA.

                Don't throw the Knicks in your mess, man. We got enough problems getting tangled in that Chicago dumpster fire.

                  I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that he plays for Boston.

                  Am I correct?

                      Some of the players must care. Gallonari injured his hand punching an opponent in the lead up to this tournament. Some of these players must be going hard at these NBA players, to prove something.

                        Cavs shopping their 1st rounder from the Kyrie trade.

                        I'd think they'd have to get a SG out of the deal. Just a matter of what team has good enough SG to deal for a high lottery pick. There doesn't seem to really be many choices. McCollum maybe, but doubt blazers deal him. Beal won't be dealt.

                          Interesting conundrum. If they think the pick will get them a player who could help them win a title this year, it might entice Lebron to stay.

                          But if they don't win, he might leave and that pick would have been a key piece in a rebuild plan.

                          Some Cavs fans talking about getting Anthony Davis, with or without the pick, for a lot of players they want to discard anyways.

                            I doubt any Cavs fans here really believe that New Orleans is taking that Nets pick and scraps for AD.

                            But I'm not surprised there are fans on Twitter that really think it's possible. And they talk themselves into believing it makes sense for the Pelicans.

                                Postseason or offseason?
