OT Vegas Summer League 2023

I don’t particularly want to see Sharpe in SL this year. Would rather see Scoot, Rupert and Keegan getting all the shots

I REALLY want to see Scoot and Sharpe working together.

Last time I went to Vegas, I came home with crabs and not the seafood kind so its a no from me. Will watch the games from the comfort of my couch.

It wasn’t Vegas. It was the chick you banged.

Kris, not Keegan

Kris, not Keegan

Clearly we are trading Kris for Keegan before summer league starts

How much would we have to pay them under the table to get Keegan to play up here and pretend to be Kris?

“Kris” can be the new Bird and play the entire game with his off hand

Whole day. I'm assuming you have not bought a day pass at many entertainment venues lately? Heck even the dinosaurs in Salem was over $100 for the kid and I for a 4 hour pass. Day pass in Disney will set you back way more than $270. This is Vegas and there are a bunch of famous faces at this venue. Pretty sure you can get single game tickets here. https://www.unlvtickets.com/eventInfo/spe/823/2023-nba-summer-league/

Thanks for the link. Got tickets for Friday and Sunday.

Is it weird that they haven’t announced the roster yet?

 

[HansenYang]

Looks like a good shooter.
No defensive highlights...
Any clue how old this kid is?

I think he's like 29. This is your classic "just for summer league" signing.

 

[DUB]

Jo Lual-Acuil and now Duop Reath, nice to see a couple of South Sudanese-Aussies on the Trail Blazers, even if it is only summer league.

Seems like a lock to make team with that scouting report

Cornering the market on South Sudanese bigs.

Portland Trail Blazers

• Antoine Davis (24, Guard)

No word on Sharpe or Jabari Walker, imho should play, but are not currently scheduled (that I know of).

Not just South Sudanese, but Australian South Sudanese!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I like a big man who can shoot free throws! It's funny that they show every free throw.

Walker certainly should play, I'm not even 100% sure it's a good move to pickup his contract. I 99% think they will do it, but he hasn't proved anything at the NBA level and was the 57th pick.

Sharpe I'm fine with either way, if he only wants to practice with the team, only do individual workouts, or actually play summer league games let him do what he believes is best.

Walker > Watford
Sharpe needs Experience, period, but Experience with Scoot is invaluable.

That's ridiculous. He's easily our second-best rebounder, and it's not close. This is going to be a big year for Walker, JUST YOU WATCH

 

[tlongII]

Just bought my tickets for the 13th. I just hope Scoot is still playing since that is their 3rd or 4th game I believe.

Blazers Extend Offers to Butler, Badji, not to Knox

So, I assume Butler and Badji will be playing in summer league.

Interesting.

All tickets are general admission and good for all day long. In the past, Ive just purchased tickets at the ticket booth right before entering.

You can buy them on-line here:
https://www.unlvtickets.com/eventInfo/spe/823/2023-nba-summer-league

Usually there is no need to purchase ahead of time (in case plans change), but this year might be different on the days Wemby plays

What is the parking situation is at the Thomas & Mack center?
Looks like there are several lots. I haven't seen anywhere to buy parking in advance like you can with ParkWhiz.

Free parking.
If you want to park 8 rows closer, you can pay a fee - but not needed
