The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

[pums]

Best part was when Kawhi came into Vegas with a leg sleeve and using his luggage as a cane

He just came for photos and dipped

I hate it for Kawhi, same way I hated it for Penny and my dude STAT

At least we got to see prime Kawhi win a ring. Too bad we couldn't see that for Penny, Grant Hill and Roy.

Derrick white is probably the best choice. Not too far removed from playing at a high level.

Would have liked to see Jalyn Brown, but his relationship with Nike all but kills that possibility.

1992 Dream Team…. what a time….

We went from sending all Hall of Famers to dudes who ain’t made an All-Star team…

 

[elpablo21]

USA already had the 3rd and 4th best Celtics on the team. Now they're adding the 2nd best player as a replacement

No Excuses. B2B Champs

Peak athletic Bron

Sheesh...I always forget how athletic he was. What a beast.

I remember in 03, a Slam interview with Nash asking what was the most surprising thing about Rookie Bron, he said his speed and that it was only matched by AI.

To be fair the redeem team A.K.A the goat Olympic squad had Michael Redd and Carlos Boozer on it. Sometimes role players are needed.

 

[Moheezy]

Rooting for Kawhi but I can’t see the clippers as a playoff team if he plays less than 65 games.

It's going to be the James Harden show for the foreseeable future.

 

[B Sox]

Dream Team had Lattener on it. He’s certainly not better than Derrick White

You would have called THEM role players in 08?

Redd and Booz were All Stars though.

Ty Lue is an assistant coach, probably saw Kawhi hobbling and was like nah.

Right. My sense is that Kawhi probably would have stuck it out with Team USA if it was entirely up to him, but Ty, Larry Frank and Uncle Steve made the call for him to stay home.

 

[WASHED KING]

I don't think Kawhi should retire if he still wants to keep playing but I gotta think the mental strain having to deal with this every single season can be alot for athletes when your body keeps telling you to sit yo *** down

EYE don't know where he is mentally but I wouldn't blame bro if did hang it up in the next year or two.

or he could be like Lonzo and never want to give up idk

Jimmy > Kawhi

Zubac going to have a career year.

 

[CJMcfly26]

I don’t even play 2K anymore. If anything I’d get the Hall of Fame or All Star edit

 

[getback]

4 Olympians. Ya'll better win atleast 3 in a row. NoExcuses for a decade.

I'm not on the team. Tell that to them.

Over a KG or Ray Allen or T mac yes

 

[elpablo21]

Jimmy > Kawhi

Jimmy is basically a poor man's Kawhi

 

[picasso swerve]

I mean, it dont matter who they replace Kawhi with really needless to say. Throw Coop in there.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

You can't just change the definition of words to suit your claim.

Calling (200 Boozer and Redd role players is just an inaccurate statement any way you slice it.

No disrespect.

 

[JMB10215]

Coop was on that squad and the hype train would be out the window, bro probably wouldn't even play at Duke lol

Booz and Redd were role players in 08 bruv. Those are the facts. Maybe not Mike but fasho Carlos. You can make a all star team and be a role player.

Interesting. You got it though. We can agree to disagree.

I mean woudnt it make sense for them to take someone from the Select team?
