I guess it's because Exum is Australian, right? Why no mention of Ingles, then, since the game will be held on his birthday and against a few of his old mates? Never mind, why does their nationality and birth enter into this at all?

There are limited preseason repetitions; we aren't going to let a couple of guys have a gas. This is about setting good habits.

Also, for dong it was about Exum homerism... but you probably knew that.

nice work to start the season mate, Miranda is breathtaking. An absolute space cadet but drop dead gorgeous.

Wouldn't care if she thought the earth was flat.

 

[Revolution 9]

I like this group of guys. It feels right for some reason.

Just want to see everyone play even including Griffin who will get a NBA spot somewhere(if not with us).

What's the rule on the 2-ways? Can a different team snag someone off of a 2-way if they add that player to their active roster, or does the 2-way reserve those rights like a drafted player?

I'd just tell her I was going to take her on a cruise to the end of the earth and go round-the-world the whole time with her.

Just ****ing gagged out loud.

Rights are reserved for the length of the contract. These contracts are richer and more restrictive than other GLeague contracts.

Thanks for confirming. Wouldn't surprise me if there are some "promises" about calling these players up. For the better GLeaguers, remaining unrestricted might be a smarter gamble since they could be called up by any team.

Thanks to Fish I now have a full mast.

Thank goodness I'm at home and not in the train coming back from work, otherwise the dilemma would be how to get up at my train stop and make it out like nothing is happening.

Useless trivia:

- as mentioned earlier in the thread, Joe Ingles and Brad Newley attended the same high school. However, high school basketball is almost meaningless in Adelaide, where basketball is club-based. Ingles and Newley played for different clubs, however, due to their age difference, they were never in the same underage group, and didn't play against each other until both were in the NBL.

- Ingles and Newley both won the NBL Rookie of the Year award.

- Newley was originally drafted in the 2nd round in 2007 by Houston, recently his draft rights were traded to the Lakers.

- Dante Exum's father was a team-mate of Kings' coach Andrew Gaze (as was Ben Simmons' father).

- Gaze won an NBA Championship ring as a player with San Antonio in 1999.

- Kevin Lisch's father is Rusty Lisch, who was the starting quarterback at Notre Dame until some kid called Joe Montana took over. After college, Rusty Lisch played 5 seasons in the NFL, completing 55 passes (1 TD), and throwing 11 interceptions. His passing rating was 25.1.

Ouch that’s like an interception nearly every set of downs

First preseason game Monday, and to think, I was on that floor for a completely unrelated event that's still going on as I'm typing this at the arena.

for the record, [MENTION=840]fishonjazz[/MENTION] likes that you have a boner. He may also like that, in a certain way, he gave it to you.
