2016 Summer League

Unavailable, but looking pretty damn awesome:
Norman Powell (pick #46 last year)
Josh Richardson (pick #40 last year)
Connaughton was #41 - so we could have had Powell instead. Here he is:




Funnily enough, a lot of us wanted Powell before the draft, but none of us wanted Connaughton.
(Worth noting: Powell was supposed simply to be a defensive specialist and amazing athlete. Looks pretty smooth, doesn't he? He also started for the Raptors a few games last year.)

I know. It's an absolutely crippling pick. How does Olshey live with himself at night! The condensed opinion of S2 has the weight of an Ayn Rand novel.

Wait what? Getting Pat Connaughton doesn't mean that we had action at getting Powell. Project Pat was a throw-in so that we could get Plumlee.

Steve Kerr doesn't think Draymond assaulting somebody is a big deal.

I guess you'd feel that way if you see it 82 times a year.

Kerr is dumb ass!!!

"Vonleh briefly exited the game with a left gluteus contusion, but he played through it, which suggests this will be a non-issue moving forward."

Vonleh left the game with a sore ass?

Unlike 76ers their line up has been drafted with balance.

how do you mean exactly? they started with trading for wiggins. the next year KAT was the consensus #1. so i assume you are basing this entirely off of the dunn selection. but they already had rubio and lavine at pg. basically they have taken bpa the last 2 years, they dont really need a pat on the back for that.

He plays for the most hated team in the NBA. I like to refer to him as the Bill Laimbeer/Dennis Rodman of today's NBA. It's good for the league.

Best line I've ever heard on Reddit.


"Good thing they took the 11 year old statue of Joe down. Jerry would have tried to fuck it!"

Another game where Simmons matches his assists with turnovers. Is he really the great play maker many tout him to be?

Like I've said before, I think of him as a young Boris Diaw before he got fat.

Is it possible to keep cliff? I wanna.

Tied with :21 for the SL championship between Minny and Chicago. Wolves have been doing most of this without Dunn!

 

[PDXFonz]

WOOOOOOW THIS KID HITS A DEEEEEEP CLUTCH 3!!!

 

[PDXFonz]

CHICAGO AT THE BUZZER!!!!!!!!!

 

[PDXFonz]

Damn what a crazy final few seconds!

 

[PDXFonz]

Wolves shot off a prayer, Chicagos off a great set play.

Yes

Yes

Wow this game is crazy

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow, wow, wow, wow. Even though it's just summer league that was a blast to watch.

Yeah, it's funny: he was getting raves, but they lost every game with him and only started winning when he stopped playing and Tyus Jones took over. Which is why Jones was voted MVP of Vegas.

For those who missed it

 

[Paine Tablet]

Yes

Stotts made it sound like he was gone for good when they interviewed him during the last game. He basically said they wish him luck, both to begin the conversation and to end it.

Yes, I know. That wasn't the question though. Question was "is it possible"

Then you are proving not very helpful. Is that really an honest answer? Of course not. So what's the point? You seem to want to stand behind all of your posts, but I reckon it's hard to stand behind treating someone's honest question with an occam's broom.

His question was is it possible to keep cliff. Yes, it is. What's your problem with that? Consolidated trade. Injury. Just like him better than the 15th guy. His honest question got an honest answer. Then you started bitching
