So we need to absolutely blow out the Rockets today..... or we need New York or New Orleans to lose.

We should have a damn tie breaker over both those teams.

If it's only a 2-way tie, we would. But if 12 teams are all 3-1, then we're kinda screwed. Unless, as you say, we blow out the Rockets.
 
They should have just done a tournament. I hate this cut down version of summer league.
What's happening with the Utah and Golden State groups? If they are included Blazers will not be in the final.
Sacramento has this thing locked and it looks like the Lakers will be 2nd?
 
i swear this place is made up of a bunch of old dudes who don't want any change. if it were upto you guys, SL would still be this podunk production where we just got fourth hand reports about Qyntel Woods dominating. credit the league for trying to increase engagement, and it's working! can you ever imagine Lebron and Dame sitting front row at these games that are broadcast live on ESPN with commentators?

Have a cup or something.... but the rings are just... super lame.

A cup rewards the owner who gets to display it at the practice facility. Woohoo. Why not reward the players instead? The league makes enough money.

exactly, for guys who will head overseas next month without a hope of an NBA deal ever in their lives, it's something...

i just applaud the effort.

No they're not yelling like Abraham, they are scared of the change.

Cut em a bonus check.

Nobody is going to wear that thing.
 
If you didn’t make the league but won a summer league championship ring would you wear it? You think anyone will?
On the shelf is more likely… who is going to wear it…

They will make for cool personal and family items for when these guys are old. It's the same reason I have kept all of the old album reviews, and newspaper clippings and writeups for concerts. I can show my younger relatives someday.

These rings are tacky, but who cares. They will bring cool memories later.
 
The thing with these players is.....most of them havent had that big paycheck yet. They are young. They will want $$$$, not some trinket.

Sure, if they go for $1,000 folks might not sell them. If they go $50,000 not a chance very many of the non roster players will keep them.

I’d wear that MF in a heartbeat!
I was an athlete for a D1 college with expectations to go pro. In my second year at college I sustained an injury and never even got the chance to even begin that journey.
You bet your life I’d appreciate that ring.
Those guys are currently part of the best 1000 players in the entire world.
I’d love having a ring like that.
 
I'd MUCH rather have the cash than a ring.

Better yet - an all-expense paid vacation somewhere.

Rings are garbage...
I think the rings are pretty cool, but when the day is done, the only thing that matters is C.R.E.A.M.
