i never understood whats the point of playing high picks in the summer league (few games mean nothing to them and bball is bad as it gets), its just asking for a trouble sure, injuries can happen anytime and anywhere, but still, totally stupid idea
If you want your rookies to play. Reps against guys on other teams are incredibly important. Everyone pretty much plays their rookies in SL. I guess you think you’re more savvy than all of the executives and coaches in the best basketball league in the world.
The NBA should just consolidate down to like 8 teams. Boston, two LA teams Two NY teams Two Florida and two Texas teams. Let's just stop pretending the rest of the league matters. I get Denver just won, but the media and most of the players are just kinda selfish scumbags that only care about the big market and/or tax free destinations. It's gotten to the point I'm starting to dislike everything about the league.
I used to have a player I looked up to on my favorite team. He was drafted by my team and seemed loyal and a throwback to an older era. Recently I discovered that was either a facade, or that it could turn on a dime and he could burn down the city behind him as he left. That's what took me so long, I got my hopes up again about 11 seasons ago. It's starting to look like 22 teams in the NBA are just meant to be a glorified G-League for the 8 aforementioned teams. (Yeah I know, Bucks and Denver won and thank god for that).
