Summer League!

Apparently it's now sponsored by Samsung, and it will be from 10-20 July. If CJ does not win MVP it will only be because he decided not to play in it.

Random observation: The top two Summer League teams are playing in the WCF. But the two teams playing the ECF have a losing record in Summer League.

I doubt CJ and Leonard play, they may be on the roster but I don't think they'll lace up.

RJ Hunter, Cameron Payne and Tyus Jones will be the talk of summer league from the rookies.

Casey Holdahl tweeted that there are rumblings that the Blazers Summer League Roster may be more robust than initially expected... Not sure what that means exactly but intriguing.

Stanley Roberts is trying a comeback??? We've signed Baby Shaq???

LMA wants to show he has recovered quickly from thumb surgery and build up his free agent value so he is playing.

We are bringing in Jon Diebler and Jon Brockman... catch the fever!

Interesting unique standings. Those records seemed top-heavy, so I added and found the total to be 435 wins and 420 losses. Also, is that table just for Las Vegas or does it include Orlando?

Don't you know people win way more than they loose when playing in Vegas?

 

[jlprk]

I figured either that the Orlando standings total 15 more losses than wins, or that some defunct team used to play Summer League and went 0-15.

But your explanation is much better!

I wonder if Wes is crazy enough to try to play on the SL team.

Memories...

Baby Shaq is actualy a player I like for Portland. His biggest downside is that he can't run full-court for more than 20 minutes.

Anyone been to Vegas for this? Thinking about going but am not sure about the heat.

I went for the Oden summer league and the one after so 2007 and 2008. Definitely a cool experience but Vegas in July is fucking hooooooooot. Literally took a step outside and my shirt was instantly stuck to me. 108 degrees + humidity.

CJ said on Courtside last night he won't play summer league. He said something about maybe being in Vegas so I think he would only be on the roster to practice as Dame and Wes have done.

He's earned it IMHO. It's just one more chance to get hurt in a meaningless game.

Agreed. And I think we need to give Frazier those minutes to see what he can do.

Fuck that noise! So now he's too good? Reggie Jackson played summer league after HIS playoff breakout!

Oh well, Tim Frazier for summer league MVP, then.

Go, its a fun fucking time. All basketball junkies, really knowledgeable ones to boot. I went for Lillard's first game ever, it rocked.

There's a group for the LA Blazer fans talking about making a road trip to Vegas. I'm unsure as I'm schedule to go to Vegas the week after Summer League for a Divorce Party.

I was married in Vegas two years ago July 8th. the week we were there the temp averaged 107 and there was a huge fire that stained the western skies the whole time we were there. July is not a good month for many reasons. With that said, if you are sitting in an air condition auditorium/stadium all day???

I'll be very surprised if he makes the opening day roster, he was brought in to trade.

I read that before and was confused by it. How and why could he be traded. He signed for $47,000. How long is he under contract?

I also read in that same article he would not get in any games. Yet he did and looked decent. I wonder if that changes things.

His contract was for next season as well all of which is unguaranteed. So he can be packed in a trade along with say Kaman allowing the Blazers to acquire a player making almost a million more in salary if need be. Then his new team can cut him.

 

[jlprk]

Then it doesn't matter whether he gets injured. So why would he be held out of Summer League.
