The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

Like the Celtics did?

Celtics didn't do that.

Norman Powell was the best bench player this season if we’re being honest with ourselves.

Who was high on the Wolves this season? Is it too early for receipts?

 

[antidope]

Ehhh I don’t agree with that.

You think? I feel like PE has a better chance than banks. Banks are not willing to lend early into the career. And the deal sourcing from banks is not unique or exclusive or venture enough to entice people a lot of the time.

My hope is that they do a lot of education alongside the whole gathering of assets thing

Naw, when you look past the side step three, what else does he offer you?

i mean you've been gettting away with lots of egregious posts, but this is just too much to ignore

you're basically both of these guys

No it's not too early. SOME people in here been calling Rudy Gobert the French stimulus package.

I was dead *** about to post this and tag you WE tried to tell them. The rest of the players in the league see it. Fans need to start recognizing too.

These are the only acceptable NBA timeout shenanigans I like.

The swift turn on Luka has gone too far right He has issues with complaining after every play, seemingly coming into camp out of shape, leadership and effort on the defensive end but those are fixable IMO.

For all his shortcomings he’s still a 32/9/8 guy shooting 50% from the field and 34% from 3. Only 74% from the line but he gets to the line 10-11 times per game Just needs the right coach and veteran(s) on the team

At 24 years old. People talking crazy

I guess it depends on if you mean Black people in general or this like .5% of Black wealth? NBA has become very cozy with PE/VC, but more so has been the elite NBA guys. These PE shops and the industry more broadly has zero interest in financial literacy, they’re just focused on returns returns returns. But we’re probably just talking past each other here because I’m not saying anything that you don’t already know and you’re talking about for NBA guys specifically

So, nasty discourse now about another post-season award? Just what I was hoping for…

A bit surprised, just imagine if they were fielding contending squads again

The only player from the ‘21 class that’s been better than Sengun is Mobley. Coach Silas was leaning more towards BRUNO FERNANDO over Sengun because he was a “lob threat” .

Also Sengun won’t protect the rim like Robert Williams, but he’s far from kanter on that side of the ball.

Chicago sports fans be loyal for no reason at all.

Looks at the Cubs

The “Lovable Losers” who went 100 plus years without a trophy.

Chicago needs to learn to protest

I agree with most of this but if he gets another coach fired at 24 who's "the right" coach? JKidd was just praised for the job he did last year then Mark Cuban let Brunson go and it was downhill.

Dolan too cozy and safe right now with the playoffs tho.
