How much you think we wind up paying for Lopez? I don't mind giving him a reasonable contract and then trying to flip him for some draft picks at the trade deadline and moving Frye to backup C.

I don't know man, was worried about it but fortunately there hasn't been much interest to hike up the price. All it takes is one team though, how much will Portland offer? I get the inclination it could end up in the 30's for 3-4 years. Hard to gauge when barely a whisper has been spoken on him.

Kwame's deal isn't so bad.

The player option and Doug Collins though... lol

Derrick Williams was 248 last season. I know Summer League doesn't mean anything, but I'll be interested to see how he plays now.

Hope Derrick Williams breaks out. I think I hyped him up more than anyone here last year. I really don't understand why its not translating but it was a rookie year and I didn't see many T-wolve games.

"And although peers such as Oklahoma City head coach Scott Brooks, who played for Thibodeau and didn't have an extension after the Thunder's NBA Finals appearance, have received deals, the Bulls coach, who was offered and rejected a contract deemed to be under his market value, according to an individual with knowledge of the negotiations, publicly is unconcerned about the unresolved issue."

It didn't translate because his jump shooting his sophomore year at Arizona was unsustainably good and he also came in out of shape (and apparently with messed up sinuses).

I have a lot of faith in the kid. No reason to give up on him now after the weird lockout season. He's lost a bunch of weight, gotten in good shape, he'll get a real summer league and camp this year, a real preseason, let's see how he does with a honest to god offseason.

man, I feel bad for Bulls fans, the organization refuses to act like the big market team that they are. They make so much money, why not get in the luxury tax? why not keep your bench together? if they write off this year, they still won't get a lottery pick so what's the point

They still have a shot at getting our pick. But they'd just blow it either way.

Satoranskys playing in SL for the Wiz...rare chance to see an overseas stashed player actually play. Probably the last time we ever see him in a Wiz uniform.

All eyes on Beal in 45 minutes.

Bummed because I won't get to watch Blake Griffin play in the Olympics. :(

Psyched because I get to see Anthony Davis play in the Olympics instead. :)

Yep...his agent made him play for the SL. Said that he needed to give something back, so he said go play in the SL. Also, Vesely has been practicing on his jumpshot....

hopefully he doesn't kill himself out there trying to act like KG out there.

Trying to play like vet KG wouldn't be a bad idea for him. Just learn how to set hard screens and knock down the 13-15 foot shots that will no doubt be wide open.

Still taking that pick really hard. I really wanted us to move McGee at the time to grab Enes or D-Will...maybe Val. I feel like we were cheated out of a decent pick. Maybe Ves will prove me wrong but we lost a lot of games for nothing apparently.

I'd like to pay the five bucks to watch the Rockets summer league team, which is basically the real team, but of the guys I want to see might not make it to game two.

There's like 5 names I recognize on the roster, and because of Lin's contract status he can't play Summer League. In fact there isn't a Knick on the team that's on the roster, hilarious.

I'm actually pretty hyped to see Beal play.

btw, is there a link with all the summer league rosters?
