    Or because it is high school, or college, or the fucking globetrotters. Nothing is the NBA regular season so nothing else matters? Why even watch?

    PS, I think everyone knows it is summer league.

    Oh yeah, tell the free agents playing that it doesn't mean anything. I think they would disagree.

    Wait, what?!?!

    We didn't trade Lillard, LA, Batum, Matthews and Rolo for Brown and future considerations?

    Going into summer league I was most intrigued by what CJ and Robinson would do.

    Overall, I was happy with CJ as I thought he played well. He showed good defense and was able to get open. I was definitely disappointed he didn't shoot better, though.

    I was thrilled with Robinson for a while. He confidently took and swished midrange shots, was active, hit FTs, rebounded, provided energy. However, he also had 5 turnovers, missed an all alone dunk trying a double pump reverse instead of simply dunking, and then he fouled a 3 point shooter to which Stotts literally facepalmed.

    I have high hopes for Robinson, but I really wonder when or if this dumbassery will ever end.

    I get that he hasn't shown anything yet. All I expect of him is to be a decent 6th or 7th man. But I'm not going to give him the amount of rope I give Leonard. CJ needs to be a ball player by the end of this season.

    Yep. I take nothing from the Summer League. It really does mean nothing except for the free agents trying to get on a team.

    edit: body knows what's up.

    Just say it like it is

    The bench is still going to suck next year

    Nice of Olshey to punt next season before it started. The Blazers are basically the same team.

    I completely understand the lack of FA movement. While I don't like the people we did sign, we couldn't really sign huge difference makers.

    What bugs me is that this draft was so deep, and teams were rumored to be selling picks, why didn't we get in on that? We need talent upgrades across the board.

    Steve Blake was so reliable for GS that he played a combined 39 minutes in the 7 game series vs the Clippers and tallied 2 assists

    Take away the blowout loss and he probably only plays like 25 minutes in the series

    This guy SUCKS

    So many teams were selling....and yet barely any were moved. Obviously asking price was very high. What was the point of trading for another second round pick?

    None of those guys are difference makers in the slightest.

    Yet all of them would easily make our roster and help us. Talent upgrade

    I don't think anyone is sad we missed out on any of them.
