There is an inteview by Mark Cuban that basically said he and Ressler worked the deal out themselves. It was known that Luka didn't want to come to Atlanta and the threat was with Memphis or someone trading up to Memphis.
Yes, WCJ brings the toughness we need, and he's an ideal fit.Jamaaliver wrote:My favorite player during the 2018 draft process. He'd be great here in a platoon with OO.
We could get at least 17 games a year of really high level basketball before they each injure the other giving high fives in the huddle.
Luka was always a winner and proved that against the world, but GM's passed on him, even when he was such an obvious choice.atlantabbq99 wrote:Travis Schlenk basically needs to be shot, like in the leg or something.

A year ago, Luka was sitting at home, watching the playoffs, as Trae was hitting game winners in the Boston Garden.
Luka's team had the #10 pick, two ball dominant PGs, an ill-fitting roster and a ticking clock because Luka was tired of losing games.

Not sure he pairs great with Jalen as he's also a limited 3-pt shooter.

If Washington is interested in Hunter and such I'm down.
