Who's Going? -> LVSL

[ABM]

Now that I'm out here, I'm thinking of giving it a shot. Shoot, I'd go just to see Rubio wheel and deal.

Tickets for the 2009 NBA Summer League, which takes place at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion from July 10-19, will go on sale to the public on Monday at the UNLV box office and on unlvtickets.com.

The summer league will feature 21 NBA teams with rosters full of rookies taken in next month's NBA draft, rookie free agents and other prospects.

The first 10 teams picking in the draft -- barring trades -- will appear in the summer league, headlined by the Los Angeles Clippers, who own the No. 1 pick and are expected to take Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin.

That means several other top prospects -- such as Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio and 19-year-old point guard Brandon Jennings -- will make their American professional debuts in Las Vegas.

Also returning to Vegas will be defending summer league MVP Jerryd Bayless of the Portland Trailblazers.

The 21 teams will play a total of 55 games over 10 days.

General admission tickets, which go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, are $25 for adults, $15 for children ages 3-12 and seniors. Children 2 and under are free.

Just to watch Rubio? I'd rather wait until the regular season when the Kings play us

As for making the trip; I heard Martel is actually going to be out, Nic is out, Rudy is out, Freeland is out, that leaves Jerryd and a bunch of D-league scrubs and undrafted borderline guys and whomever we draft this year. I think I'll just stream the games for free on NBA.com

You know Storyteller is always up for it.

I went a couple years ago. It was really fun. Lots of basketball. You see some old timers in the stands some times as well. I won't go this year because of other commitments and it looks like Portland's team will be minimal.

Will Rubio even play?

The Eurobasket tournament will be held in early September, so I assume Rubio and crew will be training from August onwards. The SL is held in mid July, but Rubio might opt to rest up before the games.

Side note: France (Nic) and Finland (Petteri) will attempt to gain a spot in the same tournament by playing qualifying games in August. England (Freeland) and Spain (both Serg and Rudy) have already qualified.

I'm going for a few days.

Hopefully after Portland gets Rubio in the draft, he'll play in the summer league with Bayless. That'd be fun.

I'm thinking about it. Vegas was so off the hook last weekend I want to go every month this summer.
