    if he could get ayton to either set picks like he did to free manu and parker or defend the P&R as well as he did i would be ecstatic. both and i would be happy to give up one of my nights for him @ the mrs. HCP's.

    Paris performed well in French and International league play this year.

    They aren’t a Euro club with well known Ex-NBA names (Like Serge Ibaka)

    I don't know why really, but i like this. It shows me CB is making an effort to bring in staff to help him.

    I would assume Tiago is fluent in French as well as Spanish and Portuguese....will be good to have a coach that can communicate easily with all our french speaking players.

    oooh! Didn't think about that! If true, could be a huge benefit in expediting clear communication without miss understandings.

    Edit: Oh, what. Deni, right? lol. Duh. Deni speks fluent English though, so not sure its needed. But I think Rupert is somewhat limited in his English?

    I'd be surprised if Deni doesn't speak some French..growing up in North Africa he was surely exposed to it daily.

    It’s pretty common for most people from anywhere other than the USA to speak multiple languages.

    definitely. That is the most interesting thing to notice when traveling to the US. Rarely do people speak other languages. Or maybe some Spanish.

    not a generalization but an observation from several road trips through the US.

    What I’m learning about Splitter is that he couldn’t reach gave helped hide Dame on defense, and we would have been better for it

    I have to say I’m a bit sleep deprived today and trying to figure out what you meant to say in this post isn’t helping my headache.
