It's weird, but the better real team seems to almost always beat the weaker real team in this summer league. You'd think it would be the opposite considering the higher draft picks.

 

[Tom Penny]

olynyk is jason mewes and larry bird combined

He's on the H-Bomb. That's not good.

 

[Dominican Power]

O'lawdipo > Shump

He better be if you're drafted that high.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

O'lawdipo > Shump

[Knux-Future]

Good, stacked teams usually just run a few deliberate, guaranteed sets and want their guys to play defense. Its not so much a pure development process for them as it is an open tryout for guys to possibly fit into their established system.

Younger teams use SL as a time to let their guys develop individually. If someone else shows out, good for them, but its not really too much else other than that.

Plus shittier teams are easier to make so you often have dudes doin too much trying to make the squad

That explains why the Clippers look so much like the regular Clippers in terms of ball movement, aside from the execution. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Truelize]

So Oladipo is a baller? Impressed.

 

[LegendofJoe]

MKG and Oladipo are pretty much the same player. Mkg has the better handles and Oladipo has the better shot. It's hard to root against either of them, they both love the game.

Better coach most times

 

[Black Mamba]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine now
ESPN sources: Toe injury forces Mavs to shelve plan to re-sign fan favorite Devin Harris. Sides mutually agree to scrap three-year, $9M deal

OUCH

Cuban can't even execute the plans he made.

 

[DY_nasty]

Better coach most times

Head coaches are their for evaluation of picks and that's it.

Vast majority of the time its assistant coaches managing the rotation from the sideline and that's all.

Edit: Did they just say Brooks could fill the gap at PG for the Celtics? LOL

 

[fertygo]

OUCH

I hope Dirk tweet about this.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

OUCH

Cuban can't even execute the plans he made.

Harris ripped his toe off when he heard the news about Monta.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Damn, that fucking sucks.

At least his rookie contract is guaranteed since he's a first round pick... or is that only for lottery players? I forget.


Jared Greenberg: "Stay tuned for the Cavaliers vs the Lakers! You'll want to see the Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller show!"

Wolves won. That hardly ever happens.

All 1st rounders guaranteed 2 years.

Within hours of the Ellis announcement, Harris destroyed his toe and Larkin broke his ankle.

This will not end well.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Branduil must be pissed.

Why? Did Dallas trade for Bargnani?

 

[ratcliffja]

Let's see if Cuban can do the right thing like Ainge did. Doubt it.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Why? Did Dallas trade for Bargnani?

Offseason isn't over. Might happen.

 

[Black Mamba]

Why? Did Dallas trade for Bargnani?

They signed the SG equivalent.

CDR might actually make the Lakers this year. Good for him. Not so great for us.

Austin Rivers shot 50% from the field and that was a bad performance? I'm expecting the comet to hit the earth any time.

Please save us Ricky Ledo

 

[B.O.O.M]

if Oden goes to the Heat he'll probably stay healthy, win a ring, and complete the Blazers misery cycle

Cause he's in Houston now.

There is no reason why the Cavs should look this bad...

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Nets truly are Clippers East.

LOL

Clippers never swept the Lakers.

 

[ratcliffja]

Clippers never swept the Lakers.

I assume you mean the playoffs, but the Clippers actually swept the Lakers in the regular season for the first time last year.

 

[Spooks]

I don't know a single player that's on the floor for the cavs lol

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm not watching right now, but is Bennett not playing?

 

[dalVlatko]

I'm not watching right now, but is Bennett not playing?

No, he is recovering from a shoulder injury

 

[Randolph Freelander]

He had foot surgery after the college season. Not ready to play yet.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakersnow/la-sp-ln-lakers-ryan-kelly-20130710,0,3511464.story

Kelly won’t play on the Lakers' summer league team because he is recovering from foot surgery. Kelly said he has resumed basketball activities but it will be a couple of weeks before he's at full speed.

“Coming off an injury it’s going to obviously take some time, but I’m excited to get out there and get comfortable again,” Kelly said. “I’m feeling great and I’m going to spend as much time here in L.A. as I can.”
