    Of course we're going to have a summer league..we did sign Shavlik Randolph to the summer team so I would assume so, and yao ming, the Sixers site can be very slow with news sometimes..so we probably just need to wait it out..they'll probably get the rosters and whatnot up soon..but for one thing we know at least 2 of the players on the summer roster will be Shav Randolph and of course, Louis Williams.

    the sixers have not entered into the usual summer league program and i think they may just be playing a few invitational events??

    Nope. Terminator-X is right, the Sixers did not enter any summer league program this year. The reason? I have no idea. It's a good experience for young players to get their first taste of the NBA and I would say a team can only benefit by entering one.

    I suppose not having Dalembert,Green and Korver signed is the reason the Sixers are missing a SL team or if there would be a team Billy would have to be on work instead of marrying [​IMG]

    Yeah but the thing is those guys don't really need a summer league. I guess we just didn't have enough players to participate in it, but I remember last year the Sixers had a lot of un drafted players playing in the summer league that didn?t end up making the team. It sucks though; the summer league gives players a chance to get a feel of the game before they actually go to training camp and such.
