1) Luka and Bam partying in Greece at a Michael Jordan event, Rui was there too! They’re all going to the Heat or we’re trading spare parts for Bam! Yay!
2) How solid Swider’s been playing in summer league. His rebounding has been pretty good, shooting as billed, good connector. Lot to like there. Probably gets snatched up by another team this season if he keeps playing like this.
3) The archaic nuances of the CBA. Whee!
4) Adam Silver’s Slytherin vibe. Seriously, you’d never get into Hufflepuff or Gryfindor, dude. Slytherin all the way.
5) How solid and in control Bronny James has looked. Again, summer league, but you can tell the man has been in the gym. His jump shot is more balanced and he just generally looks better prepared and more confident. Still gets sped up too easily but that should come in time.
6) The archaic nuances of the old CBA. Fuck it, let’s get old school and go back in time or something.
7) BAZE! Darius Bazely. Feels like we’ll keep Shake but maybe, just maybe, the Lakers are trying to work his non guaranteed deal into a Beal trade but that just feels like wishful thinking at this point. It’s clear nobody wants to do us a favor so unless cancelling out 3ish mil in cap space is the crux of everything I kinda doubt it. Anyhow, would just love to keep him on the team.
I think Shake will be cut. Doesn’t mean they will fill his spot but it gives them money and a spot for later on. If they don’t, they are pretty much stuck.
I love Summer League basketball but I just can’t get too excited about 2nd year + NBA players showing out against rookies and other dudes just hanging on to the dream.
Having said that…these 3 dudes have looked solid. Better than Dalton so far…we may have put hin the Hall of Fame a lil bit too soon.
May have just wanted him to play in the G League more last season.
