There is a minimum amount for fines in Finland. So you may have to pay a few hundreds even if you don't make anything. There is 5,5 million people in Finland and the size of our defense forces resev is over 900,000. So every fifth Finn is trained in the army. Other ones, national defense is a duty in other ways. Finland is located next to Russia, so that's why... You should react to the winter war videos and the video "geography of Finland".

One of those facts confirmed on The Simpsons: "Simpsons - Kalsarikännit". Finnish American Bonita Pietila has worked as a casting director and a producer for The SImpsons: "Bonita Pietila interview, May 2014 (Reupload)". The local basketball team in Lahti is Lahden NMKY, which was actually founded in a former Finnish city Viipuri (Vyborg) in 1889. The team moved to Lahti after the WW2 and basketball they have played since 1950. Some Finnish basketball history from the US and to the US: "An Eternity of Basketball Episode 162: Larry Pounds", "B Talk Podcast Episode 4 | Larry Pounds | Leon Huff | Ervin Latimer discuss about basketball & life", "B Talk Podcast Episode 1 | Shawn Huff | Basketball career | Finnish National team | Politics + more" and "Pekka Markkanen on Lauri Markkanen's decision to turn pro".

I never honestly thought at all he would not be in Jazz this upcoming season, but he will still be there in the next 3 years now that is the real question. But I know Lauri is family man and he has had to move already couple of times with his wife & kids, that is not good. So I was pretty sure he wouldn't just leave on by himself, only way was that Jazz would give up on him.

Some thoughts and facts: 1. Lauri wants to stay in Utah. His family is happy there. 2. Lauri wants to compete but he trust the rebuilding. He wants to win with The Jazz 3. Even if Utah tank with Lauri it can be intresting season. Lauri is still developing and can help the youngsters. 4. I think that Lauri can stay at the top till he is 35. So he fits the timeline.

I understand that Jazz does want the full 14% Cooper Flagg chance, but losing cant be that hard. I just hope Markkanen does not end up in some dying dynasty before being traded to next destination. NBA has already big enough rotating door problem in my eyes. And selfishly im too invested in rooting for Jazz that i really hope Markkanen will stay, even if it isn't the optimal option for everyone.

A calm, patient, and mature take on the situation where various media simply attempt to build up the hype. As a fan of basketball, I would love to watch competetive games, but this rebuild is already executed way better than the sh+t show that was Lauri's first 4 w/ the Bulls.
@finnishview2933Ай бұрын
I have one question for you Spence. How you build around Lauri when nobody really good player want come to utah? All they can get via trade is medicore players at best. That is my main problem if Lauri stays in utah. He never be in playoffs and tank rest of his career if he stays. Ofc jazz may hit jackpot in draft twice, i doubt it but that is only way jazz can be contender before Lauri is too old. Lauri is family man, and many Finns dont like big cities. I understand why he would like to stay there. After all, family and especially kids are most important thing, work come second. However i would really like see him play in team what actually try to win games. Tank should be banned in every sport, that ruin everything if half of the teams try lose as much they can. What kind sport is that? Oh yes, its nba.
@sportyspence17Ай бұрын
I have some links that explain how Jazz could still build around Lauri I can send and it will explain it better than I can. I understand wanting to see him in the playoffs as well. I will say, the way Lauri plays the game can be very sustainable for the next eight years or so, just look at Dirk Nowitzki (who Lauri is often compared to). He was averaging 20+ ppg going into his 15th season. Say Jazz make some trade moves, the youth progress well, in 3-4 years Lauri will still be in his prime and he will have a core of great young players and other good assets obtained through trades to compete with the rest of league. I can see something like that happening. Yes, he could easily get traded but Jazz front office value him more than any other team has and I think that means a lot to Lauri. I also agree that I hate tanking. I am just observing what I think the Jazz might do. I hate not competing to win but that is how NBA is these days. From what I’ve heard Lauri and his family like Salt Lake a lot and it reminds him of home. From reports He feels he can win in Utah even if it’s a few years down the road. I think he values his family more than winning. For example, I don’t think he would like San Francisco very much, but he would have a better chance of winning there. Lots of choices Jazz must make. Rebuilding isn’t easy and it can be very tough to watch. Especially when you want to watch a player compete with all the other big names.

@finnishview2933 You can trade guys to the Utah, they don't exactly have a say in it. It's question if you can extend them or sign-in-trade them or get free agents (but free agency is pretty dead anyway). Also if Lauri is there, there is bigger chance to get someone else too and after them having two more legit guys it's always again easier to get third etc.
