It's looking more and more like this summer is going to be way too busy for me to get down there. I really want to get to one of these sometime.

It's usually the team's decision. They might feel he could do more working out with a coach or something like that instead. It also takes time away from other guys they may want to give a longer look at, like PapaG. I'm not saying he won't play just that it isn't necessarily a guarantee for players that are alreadt in the rotation.

Real Madrid, who has very deep pockets is trying to get him to sign on till the end of next season. He could still be drafted but wait a year to come over.

I highly doubt it.

Do you think he would leave if Real Madrid offered him 20 mil for the season? He could come over the next season when he would still be only 20 and pocket 20mil. I know what my decision would be. I'm not saying it will happen but it definitely could be a possibility

Why would Real Madrid even do that though? I know he's great but they have loads of fringe NBA talent and could replace him and still sit atop of the standings again.

It's not gonna happen.

Why would they? Cause they are loaded. One of the richest clubs in the world. Maybe it's not 20mil maybe 12-14mil. That's around double what he will make in the NBA next year. Might be hard to turn that down. What would you do and why?

They're not paying a single player over $3M... They're not going to toss $12M-$14M for one more year of Doncic.

And if that was the plan, then Doncic wouldn't be coming into the draft this year. The rookie scale goes up a ton next year, and the top of this year's draft is stronger than next year's.

So yeah, it's not going to happen.

That is incorrect. He is draft eligible this year. It also happens a lot with players being drafted from over seas but come over latter and sometime not at all. Like I said, I'm not saying it will happen as all I am saying is it is a possibility

You do realize that international prospects don't always enter the draft the year they become draft eligible? (ex. Rodions Kurucs)

And players that get stashed are usually due to teams not have minutes available for them right away, so the NBA team has them stay in Europe so that they can play heavy minutes to continue their development. That wouldn't be the case with Doncic, as he'd likely start.

When was the last time an international prospect drafted in the Top 10 remained overseas?

So no, there's no chance that happens.

You're cracking me up. I will just leave it as it is always a possibility and we can agree to disagree. Probably time for us to move on.

I remember the first time going to Reno and slot machines were in pretty much any location as they had slot machines in stores like most states have bubble gum machines. If you hadn't lost enough money yet, you can always gamble in the airport before you catch your flight in Vegas or Reno.

When I first moved there in 2004, I was surprised to see that even at grocery stores, there were spots for slot machines. Even more disturbing - people were smoking while playing the slots....in the grocery store.....

I am always a bit befuddled at how little success in the regular season results in a guy not showing up for summer league. Shabazz had plenty to prove but didn't show last season.

Not anymore. The smoking that is.

True. They still allow smoking in all the local bars though. Wish they'd change that.

I remember the days when people would come over to my desk at Tektronix with a burning cigarette hanging loosely from their lips. Sometimes ashes would fall on my paperwork.

Also, when you'd go in some taverns or bars the smoke would be so thick that you'd think you could cut it with a knife.

I still get pissed when people stand by the large air intake of a commercial building while smoking a cigarette. When inside that building you could smell cigarette smoke but have no idea where it was coming from.

Hey, try this. Try going outside on the third floor at the Rose Garden where there is an area set aside for smokers. A person could choke to death out there.
 
I won't be going to the Summer League but, I'll sure as hell be watching.
