With Murray/Wiggins/Barrett looking like a killer 1-2-3 I'm wondering who our best options are up front long-term. Though it's probably too early to say with Shittu.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

Throw in a stretch big like Olynyk, Lyles, even Barrett, and it's a deadly lineup. Question is whether we'll ever see them together at a major tournament.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

The Wolves President wants a sit down with Andrew Wiggins before he would consider giving him a max contract ... Funny the owner wants a commitment form him that he will work hard and is committed to working on his skills to be a better player . Is that weird ? I don't recall Raptors front office talking about that when they gave a max contract to DeRozan . Is it cause they know DeRozan has shown the hard work but on the Wolves side they haven't seen that same dedication .

I do think having Thibs and Butler around is really going to bring out the best in him though.

2) Domestic leagues have more voting power than Euroleague already and all European leagues unanimously approved new FIBA calendar.
3) FIBA was very transparent from the start and they didn't threaten anyone, clearly Euroleague is still pissed about FIBA Europe threats.
You think it's just a coincidence that Euroleague changed it's tournament format after they found out about FIBA plans? Maybe, but why they took two full seasons to inform about their decision?
EuroLeague is evil. They've been sued by pretty much every European basketball country in the last 10 years. It's obvious they're pissed about FIBA Europe threats and newly formed league "Champions League".
Don't get me wrong, FIBA is shady as fuck too. They surely deserve to get fucked, but that's unfair to us. Sucks.
I never saw much sense in FIBA new calendar and never thought the clubs would follow it.
I don't think it matters if FIBA announces some unilateral plan 4 years in advance or 10 years in advance, the question is if it makes sense for clubs. Clubs don't owe FIBA anything. If FIBA wants agreement from clubs, it should involve clubs in the decision making process.
Bigger Euroleague with more games is the way to go IMO. Especially great for clubs from countries without big domestic leagues, i.e. not Spain.
