    I hope all 3 are superstars as well however it is Jabari I am most worried about. The only one I am 100% sure about is Alpi. I am about 70% sure with Jalen and only ~25% with Jabari

    I wish we could keep Tari and Bari on similarly reasonable contracts. Might be a challenge though.

    Only if Tilman had the spending big mentality of that new Suns owner, it would be a walk in the park to keep them in tow

    But we shall see, hopefully they remain but ego and agents are a hell of a mix, especially since the bag$ rules everything around them

    Using the old Twitter link - probably @Clutch will add the new domain to enable embeds at some point?

    Easy win for Turkey today, 99-72. Iceland isn't as bad as you'd think. Turkey looked great today. 11-22 on 3s. Dominated in the paint. Another game tomorrow (Sunday).

    Şengün linescore in 15 minutes

    10 PTS (6-6 FTs) 7 REB | 1 AST (on the opening tip no less) 1 BLK (I thought he had another as well)​

    Game Highlights are below.

    In before the haters talk about his conditioning for only playing 15 minutes in a blowout.

    I think the current hater thing is ‘he clogs the paint and does not space the floor’, which will be debunked in a few months into the season.

    They score less in international games, Summer league 10 minutes per Quarter and fewer minutes.....

    We would be the first team in nba history to have 3 franchise players on one team. Would be pretty cool, and would likely have multiple 70+ win seasons

    Tatum and Brown could not lead to a 70 win season lmao.

    Not Jokic and Murray.

    Neither of those teams have 2 franchise players, let alone 3

    Our franchise coach led us to consecutive Top 4 picks, accomplishment.

    From top of the draft to top of the standings.

    Hey, if we actually have 3 franchise guys, we would likely win somewhere in the 6-10 titles range, so the pain would be more than worth it
