2010 NBA Summer League in Vegas July 9th-18th

[VanillaGorilla]

It's annoying that most of the players I'd like to see are internationals and will probably be tied up with their National teams. Ideally we'd see:
PF: Freeland
SF: Claver
G: Mills
G: Koponen

BUT: Koponen will still be recovering from surgery, Claver and Freeland will probably be with their teams, and Mills might not even be retained.

That leaves: Quincy Pondexter?

Is there a specific reason you left Cunningham and Pendergraph out?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Just heard from a buddy at The Game that the schedule should be released today.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is there a specific reason you left Cunningham and Pendergraph out?

Senility.
But in my defense, they played a fair amount this season, they're both four-year guys, and (unlike Bayless, say) they're not being groomed for positions that they can't really play. Of the two, I'd say Pendergraph has more need to play just because he was injured last year and because Cunningham has already shown himself in Summer league. Plus that lineup needs a center.

I hope we get to see our new rookies, Cunningham, and Pendergraph play.
Any official word on the roster yet? We do know that Kaleb Canales will be the coach.

 

[THE HCP]

Word is I might be an assistant! First all-mexican coaching staff in Vegas history!

Hopefully you border jumpers will run and gun in Vegas... HAMS!

You know that assistants do get to go on the court in practice - which requires physical movement - something you seem to be against.

Not a bad starting 5!

[Ed O]

That leaves: Quincy Pondexter?

I'm confused. Pondexter was picked by the Thunder in the first round and then traded to the Hornets.

How is he going to play for the Blazers?

Ed O.

Do we know for certain Pendegraph and Cunningham are going to play in LVSL?

I remember it being said by many people, including people employed by the Blazers. Why wouldn't they?

 

[RoyToy]

Where did I read that Elliot Williams was injured and couldn't play because he bumped knees? Is it even true?

 

[Nate4Prez]

I don't know why they wouldn't, but I have yet to see anything in print that the will be. I was asking because I'm strongly considering making the four hour drive.

Yeah I was just looking for it in print but I couldn't find it. I know I saw it somewhere official though. And I'm gonna be in Vegas for 5 days of the summer league! Have you been before? I've been the last 2 years and I love it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Vanilla Gorilla, you going to be there 7/11? Me and my bro will be there!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Vanilla Gorilla, you going to be there 7/11? Me and my bro will be there!

I get there THE NEXT DAY, the 12th!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

ah damn, i would have gotten you some hoes.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I don't need your help son. Haha thanks though.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION.

 

[Idog1976]

Not a bad starting 5!

PG: Armon Johnson
SG: Elliot Williams
SF: Luke Babbitt
PF: Dante Cunningham
C: Jeff Pendergraph

That actually looks like a team instead of 5 SF's and 5 PG's.

In a HORRIBLE nightmare you had. At least I pray to god!

Very beginning of the video he says it is a precautionary measure to keep him out of summer league.
