The Hawks get a B for literally doing nothing, completing the two year dismantling of a playoff team, and the Celtics get a C. K.

Kris Dunn and Cameron Payne are already their point guards of the future

Jaylens stroke is just so much better. Already 7 points. Makes a big difference when he has a pg getting him the ball.

Edit- hahaha wow that block was insane.

Summer league hot take about guys playing pick up ball where guards always dominate.

Markkanen wasn't supposed to get any rebounds, that was one of the knocks on him. It's clear he can actually box out and wants to rebound. Give him a year or two to get stronger and he might surprise some people.

A little bit late to this, but the C's getting a C for adding Hayward, drafting a guy they wanted while adding another future high lottery pick and trading an expiring contract for a solid NBA guy who has 2 years left on a cheaper deal is FUCKING RIDICULOUS. That shit is why nobody takes sports journalism seriously.

I've asked tons of players here at summer league who has impressed them the most ... almost all with same answer: Jayson Tatum.

Of course, almost goes without saying that the holdouts must be found and exposed.

Continuing the legacy of Tierre Brown and other famed Summer League standouts.

Hmm, let's take a look at the list of all the Las Vegas Summer League MVPs

Damian Lillard (co-MVPs)
Josh Selby (co-MVPs)
Jonas Valančiūnas
Glen Rice Jr.
Kyle Anderson
Tyus Jones

Looks like a 100% success rate.

Fuck this shit so fucking much. Draymond is gonna get to help mold another Draymond smh.

If you hate the Warriors, the silver lining is McCaw is a RFA after this year, and Bell only has a two-year deal as well. I have no idea how they pay either if someone wants to give them a sheet in RFA even with them both being Arenas limited.

It's not all good news for the Warriors. Second round picks typically have two year contracts, which means Pat McCaw is up for renewal after this year. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/07/...icky-contract-situation-looming-for-warriors/

The Warriors will be able to match any offer but he'll probably be pretty valuable and attract at least one big offer. And then I guess they'll face this problem with Bell the year after that.

His offensive numbers look kinda pitiful, he screams mediocre, but maybe he can shoot better playing for a contract and give Lonzo a weapon.

Contract year + defensive ability makes this a great get playing alongside Lonzo. No risk at all, and a possible trade chip at the deadline for a contender looking for an expiring asset.

I guess this means Rondo rumors are over now though.
