    I think it’s pretty cool they tried not to make the playoffs to give themselves a longer Summer League Preseason to prepare.

    That’s what I call organizational commitment.

    What would be the best summer league roster we could have?

    Sharpe will practice but might not play, possibly same for Watford - but I'll throw them both in there.

    Scoot - Mays
    Sharpe
    Jabari Walker
    Watford
    #23 #43

    I guess if we went full rebuild with Dame trades we might be able to get some more young players. Just doesn't seem likely we would pivot that direction soon enough to get 2023 drafted players.

    Get Duren and #5 from Detroit for #3 and #23. Trade Dame to Miami, Miami assets to Houston, #4 + something to us.

    Amen (+Ant practices)
    Sharpe Keon
    Ausar
    Watford JabariWalker
    Duren

    Love the idea of having both Thompson twins plus keeping Ant/Sharpe.

    Trade Nurk for the worst overpaid contracts out there but get picks. Get a pick sign and trading Grant, or if not resign him at a reasonable contract and trade at the deadline. Way more fun to root for this team in summer league, root for them at the new mid season tourney, and watch them the entire NBA season. Yeah sucks to say goodbye to Dame, but if we can't contend now might be better for all to just move on.

    You mean where the Commish drops the hammer on him and forces him to Portland in a trade? If that doesn't scare him straight, not sure what will.
