The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

This actually bigger than anything. They essentially have to work him up to speed after Game 25, so he could come 2-3 more games honestly.

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

So he's ONLY gonna make at least $25.9 million this year?

 

[ballinsam23]

Wait what

Referring to tweet above. He cant be around the team at all.

 

[Mark Antony]

Oof that's rough, but decent enough lesson at 7Ms to stop trying to deter a Billion plus future earnings.

It's way more than than just the 7Ms considering the All-NBA he missed last season and is ineligible for this upcoming one and who knows monetarily what endorsements he's messed up going forward.

So do the Grizzlies shop Tyus Jones knowing Ja is out until December? He's the only prominent high salary player with value besides Ja and Triple J. But the Grizzlies don't really miss a beat when he fills in as a starter.

 

[ballinsam23]

Grizz might still be 1st or 2nd place in the West without Ja after the 25 games

 

[xxpizzo]

EYE need to know who from his camp came out and said it was a TOY GUN

ahahah i still crack up thinking about that - did they seriously think we are that stupid

Trying to get D'Lo to Memphis...I like it

 

[finessence]

Should’ve been 15 games

That’s the new generation lie. Telling people that you’re out here with “toy” guns is not a good idea

That's light work. Adam Silvers NBA. I also didn't want an excessive suspension

I don’t think 25 games is light at all He always misses at least a week, sometimes several with various ailments during the year. So with 57 games as his starting point, I’d be surprised if he appears in more than 50 games this year.

 

[storm2006]

17-18 was always the starting point IMO.

 

[iamjusayn]

Wow! Ja got off for real for real
25 games is a tap on the wrist

Mark my words when I say he gone come back better than before. Way better. He gone beast!

Was just gonna say this

They’ll be fine just gotta hope Roddy keeps developing and they have Kennard for spacing

 

[Mark Antony]

Who was it that was saying Ja's boy set him up?

I would imagine one of the conditions is for him to drop these goofy dudes around him.

So he was taunting Silver? Wild boy.

IDK, Adams on the mend after the knee injury and Brooks for all his trouble was a All-Defense caliber wing.

 

[Mister Meaner]

If no one is happy about the suspension outcome, then that sounds like the right one to me.

Their FO knew they needed more even before that embarrassing first round exit. I’d be surprised if this changed anything with Tyus.

Although they could definitely get in trouble if Bane or Trip go down, which they’re prone to do unfortunately.

But I wouldn’t get caught up on that. Homecourt advantage in May is important but less important than having the right roster.

 

[storm2006]

The social media comments on this Ja suspension news are a MESS. White racists don’t know whether to call him a thug or waive their second amendment flags. Wild times.

I mean what’s wrong with that Stance? Can you prove it wasn’t a toy gun?

I bet that’s why he ain’t get 40 plus games because they can’t prove it’s a real gun.

 

[651akathepaul]

No idea what the complexion of the West will look like next season to say Grizz still fine in the West without their best player to start the season.

 

[freeze]

Suspension ain't ****.
