Summer League (2 Viewers)

Steve Blake was so reliable for GS that he played a combined 39 minutes in the 7 game series vs the Clippers and tallied 2 assists

Take away the blowout loss and he probably only plays like 25 minutes in the series

This guy SUCKS

I completely understand the lack of FA movement. While I don't like the people we did sign, we couldn't really sign huge difference makers.

What bugs me is that this draft was so deep, and teams were rumored to be selling picks, why didn't we get in on that? We need talent upgrades across the board.

So many teams were selling....and yet barely any were moved. Obviously asking price was very high. What was the point of trading for another second round pick?

None of those guys are difference makers in the slightest.

Yet all of them would easily make our roster and help us. Talent upgrade

I don't think anyone is sad we missed out on any of them.

Taurean Green won us 2 games by himself.

Courtney Fells is already > Crabbe

I thought it was one after he was traded?

Bennett looks much better.... but of course it's just SL.

Yeah. Honestly, I know they want to add a third star, but they might as well just keep Wiggins and develop Bennett. I don't think Aldridge would be a good third star for them, and Love would just stand outside and chuck threes.

7-5, 360 Sim Bhullar of the Kings is in now. Lumbering, not nimble.

7-3, 260 Walter Tavares of the Hawks is playing now on the other channel. I'll check that.

In the 3-game pre-playoff schedule, they will not meet. Maybe in the playoffs.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Healthy

Not fat.

NBA-TV decided that fans are watching to see some jackass interviewed for 30 minutes. The game is on a mini-screen with the jackass on most of the screen. The dick who's supposed to be telling us the plays is interviewing. Sim Bhullar's in but I'm getting nothing from this so I'll switch to the Tavares game.

Aldridge and/or Love would be great. Both would play the Bosh role perfectly to LeBron's LeBron and Kyrie's DWade.

I don't know if LA would be a good third option because I think he would tend to float. It's actually better when you force him to be the #1 because it makes him get involved. If he was out there with Kyrie and LeBron, I think he would defer. I could see him averaging 14 and 7.

 

[jlprk]

Tavares sure is different from Bhullar. Tavares knows how to play. Bhullar plays like Meyers Leonard. Tavares is black. Bhullar is white (from India).

Tavares starts? Bhullar is a novelty. But Bhullar, husky but not Shaq-proportioned, has a great-looking body and a team will try to develop him.

Back to watching Tavares. The stupid long, long interview lost me on the Bhullar game.

Will Cherry, who is also a Big Sky PG from Oakland and was on Lillard's AAU team through high school, went 21/7/4 today for the Cavs. I'm guessing Lillard was at the game, since he is in Las Vegas.

Antetokoumpo is like a bigger Batum. More aggressive too. So impressed.

Antetokoumpo is like a bigger Batum. More aggressive too. So impressed.

He's now a legit 6'11" 217 lbs.

If you could re-do that draft he'd go #1.

Agreed, but he's still not #1 pick material. That draft just sucked.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Antetokoumpo is like a bigger Batum. More aggressive too. So impressed.

Agreed - he's awesome. But don't envy the Bucks: taking Jabari Parker over Dante Exum is a repeat of taking Glenn Robinson over Jason Kidd.

Bhullar is white (from India).

lol no.

Stats in Vegas so far.

Kings of redemption: Otto Porter and Anthony Bennett.
Stuck in the mud: Ben McLemore

 

[Natebishop3]

Sick game right now between Milwaukee and Utah. The Greek Freak had a sick dunk.

Same can be said for any athlete currently under contract with the kings

 

[Natebishop3]

Exum has serious handles man.

Rudy Gobert is a shot blocking machine. Reminds me of Ratliff a bit when he was young.
