Now's the time to jump on this bandwagon.

Welcome aboard my friend! I saved you a seat right here up front.

Also 1-0 in my 10 game prediction.

So I just did some work for a guy who is a competitive boomerang thrower (apparently that's a thing) and is on the US national team. The US actually does pretty well. I asked him who was tops, expecting Australia to be there, but apparently Australia is straight D League in boomerang throwing. That is surprising, because I guess I buy into stereotypes. The best is apparently Switzerland because they have some guy named, Manuel Schütz, who throws like 40% further than anyone else alive. He can throw like 200 meters and have it come back to him (so 400 meters) which is kind of insane. So I'm not going to watch any of this on the Ocho, but it was interesting to hear about.

It is on the Nueve actually so please get your facts straight next time. Us Boomerang afficiandos would appreciate it.
 
Thunder fans didn't realize that OKC GM Sam Presti had given up our overseas stash. Although his recent stats in Spain (2014-15) has declined; this kid is ready for the NBA.

Good Luck Jazz community. OKC's lost is your gain.

Hated to see us give up this gem...

Hope you are right, but you often have guys who star in Europe and come over and do nothing in the NBA and our out in a year or two.
 
I'm guessing basketball is bigger in Turkey then Australia just a guess though.

And I am guessing this is not so. Have been in Turkey and talked to a few of the Turkish citizens in Ankara and Istanbul. They barely were aware of basketball and were completely into Futbol. Never been around Australians (here or There) but reports seem to indicate basketball is fairly popular in Austaralia. The Turkish people treat basketball much as Americans treated soccer twenty or thirty years ago.

What, so we're bringing over BOTH Tomic and Pleiss???? How does that make any sense????

We are not. According to trade rumors, Barcelona are trying to get trade Pleiss for Mbakwe and add Marjanovic in the summer. So that would mean Pleiss is not coming, and Tomic will be available and can possibly make the move to the NBA.

Istanbul in particular has some of the best teams in Europe in basketball so clearly there is a large amount of bball fans in Turkey.
