Is the game still ongoing? Who is winning? How's Cling Kong?

Can't watch highlights until later
 
Damn Clingan would be tied with the 7 block record right now, but the ref took it away.

Supposedly the team confirmed that he grew last year and he’s 6’8 now.

That would be nice. Another 10-15 lbs and he will be a solid 3 and D player at the wing. (off the bench)
I know he had a bad shooting night from 3-point range but he has shown in the past that he can shoot it.

I wanted us to take him and we could’ve. Pissed me off. He has a Chris Mullin flair about him

We DID. And then we traded him. He'd instantly be the best true point guard on the team. So either we just want to run Scoot into the ground and lose a lot (very likely) or we have a trade worked out (very unlikely).
 


I feel good for Pippen Jr - he's bounced around but he should for sure get a nice contract out of this. Don't know if the Grizzlies have room for him, though, especially if they keep Cam Spencer, who is no doubt the better shooter. Wish we could've got him instead of McGowen, to be honest.

MVP but only on the second team?

I'd like to see that second team take on the first team

Never understood why he was considered the inferior prospect to Gradey Dick. Glad to see him having a successful summer.

TOP CANDIDATES TO BE ADDED TO HEAT’S ROSTER

Josh Christopher, guard: One of the Heat’s summer league standouts who impressed with his scoring ability and individual defense. Christopher averaged 19.3 points, three rebounds, 1.8 assists and two steals per game while shooting 54.1 percent from the field, 21 of 40 (52.5 percent) on threes and 15 of 15 (100 percent) from the foul line in six Las Vegas appearances, also earning the Las Vegas Summer League championship game MVP honor. As a first-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft who is still 22 years old, Christopher (6-4 and 215 pounds) is an intriguing prospect with upside. Considering Christopher might get two-way contract opportunities from other NBA teams after his strong summer league, an Exhibit 10 offer from the Heat might not be enough to keep him around. As an unrestricted free agent, Christopher is eligible to sign a two-way or standard contract with any NBA team.
▪ Caleb Daniels, guard: Averaged only 5.4 points per game in five appearances during Las Vegas Summer League, but he provided solid defense with 1.2 steals per game. In Monday’s championship game, Daniels contributed two points, two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 23 minutes off the Heat’s bench. He also totaled three steals and one block in two games during the California Classic. After spending last season with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Daniels, 25, can remain in the development system by rejoining the Heat’s G League affiliate next season as a returning rights player. Or the Heat could make sure that he’s not signed away by another NBA team by locking him into an Exhibit 10 deal to continue developing him into training camp.
▪ Cole Swider, forward: Spent last season on a two-way contract with the Heat, but Swider is currently an unrestricted free agent after Miami withdrew its qualifying offer to him earlier this month. He still made the most of his summer league opportunity, though, showcasing his NBA skill of quality three-point shooting. Swider shot 26 of 53 (49.1 percent) from three-point range in seven summer league appearances this year. Swider was hoping to get the first standard NBA contract of his career this offseason, but he might again end up on a two-way deal. Will that two-way contract again come with the Heat? That remains to be seen, as Swider is free to sign a two-way or standard contract with any NBA team.
▪ Alondes Williams, guard: Averaged 12 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 12 of 25 (48 percent) on threes in five Las Vegas appearances. Like Swider, Williams ended last season on a two-way deal with the Heat but is now an unrestricted free agent after Miami withdrew its qualifying offer to him earlier this month. Williams is known for his scoring, but the Heat has spent the last year working to develop other areas of his game. Does the Heat want to continue investing in Williams enough to offer him a two-way contract or will he be signed by another team? Williams is free to sign a two-way or standard contract with any NBA team.
