Summer League Practice Video from yesterday: link Highlights: Diebler from 2:30 to 9 for 10 on corner 3's then bricks quite a few in a row Leonard drilling top of the key jumpers from 8:30 to 9:30 -- 9 for 9 -- Wes Matthews talking trash to Meyers Olshey interview -- from 13:40 to 28:50 sounds like they will match Batum because they can't get a SF for the cap room they have. On the other hand, kind of coy about whether they match. Also talks about coaching search and Idaho Stampede. Joel Freeland can play some limited minutes at 5. Coach Kaleb -- from 32:10 to 36:14 -- talks about JJ Hickson and Joel Freeland and Wes Matthews and how he won't say what the starting lineup is for summer league. Basically a worthless interview. Wes Matthews -- from 37:30 to 47:20-- likes Meyers, says he's chippy and says Damian is playing well and has a great pace, fits in well. Says he was going to play summer ball anyway, so he might as well play with his team at Summer League. At 39:23 Wes talks Batum -- disappointing that Batum said he wants to play in Minny. (41:20) Doesn't have a problem with Batum's comments, but expects that if he comes back to the Blazers he will be 100% about the team and act like a professional. Wes is working on his ball handling and mid-range game. Has some funny reactions to hearing that Jerry Sloan was offered the job. Says that every single player wants coach Kaleb to be the coach next season. Feels like he is a leader of the team.
They can't get a SF for the camp room they have.....? Huh? Don't we have like 18 million in cap room?
My cliff notes are a little incomplete. I think he said he can't obtain a SF as good as Batum that is a FA.
When does SL start for Portland? I know I can google it, but the shares knowledge on this site is so great, it's made me lazy in situations like this...
Tomorrow at 7:30 PM on CSNNW. Also, I think the Vegas Summer League thread is where it'll be discussed for the most part. Why we needed another summer league thread, I do not know.
Because Vegas is a lot more interesting than the shitty Orlando SL. Unless were trying to accumulate tons of posts in one thread and make it a bitch to search, why not start a new Vegas thread.
Thanks for the info. I'll have to tune in. This thread is older, BTW. I set it up for Portland. This is the Blazers board, so I figured it'd be Blazer-related. Summer league is what it is - so I don't give a fuck about any other summer league or any other team.
Yeah I was saying the Vegas Summer League thread was redundant, as this one was not specified as an Orlando Summer League thread.

Saw that. He must have been scared to have go 1 on 1 against Kobe for charity. [video]http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8163563[/video]
I'm watching the replay of the SAC/LAL game and T-Rob looks a little timid. His soft shots were being sent into the bleachers. At least four of 'em were blocked.
Some good Blazer twitter stuff comin thru, love the Lillard tude Blazers sang Happy Birthday to Damian Lillard at shootaround. "I'm more concerned with the game," said Lillard, 22. "I've had 22 of these Read more: http://hoopshype.com/twitter/media.html#ixzz20ipLQDlL
He was pretty much asked to do everything against Charlotte and they were running the press on him. I wouldn't make too much of it. His demeanor after the game was pretty impressive. He was not a happy camper and seemed to be all about business. I'm definitely rooting for this guy.
Hey, I didn't know the games were on CSN. All I can say is, our summer league team better kick major ass because it's comprised of most of our regular season roster.
