    Sadly it's the only way he would be able to get a ring on a Portland basketball team in his career.

    How funny would it be if Charles Barkley came out of retirement just to get a summer league ring.

    We would need Reggie, Malone, and Stockton to get out there too.

    The original dream team reunites to win a SL ring.

    Fuck Summer League now, I was watching a lot of games to see the new prospects around the league but this Shaedon injury has soured me to the whole thing. It must be @Fairly-Hard for some people who went to Vegas and I'm sure can still enjoy the games and the other amenities the city has to offer but were probably most looking forward to watching Shaedon.

    It's a crushing blow to my interest and maybe I'll feel different in a week and catch the playoffs but I seriously doubt it. This fucking sucks.

    Dammit, I was really hoping that @Natebishop3 was going to buy me a knock-off one of these from ebay.

    Those are so cheap looking that I’m sure you will be able to get one off eBay soon.

    Paolo giving Keegan the business.

    Absolutely locking him down defensively.

    My desire to watch SL has certainly vanished. I'll watch highlights from our games

    Honestly, he was a project that was going to take years anyway (realistically) so this bumps it by a year.

    So he will pop in year 3 or 4 instead of year 2.

    If he makes a complete recovery (and he should) would you rather it happen now or right as he enters his window? And realistically, that was years away. Not this year.

    That's my silver lining

    Keegan showing that “age” advantage and storming back! Showing the importance of maturity and experience certainly.

    Are we talking about Sharpe? I think this will set him back a couple of months. 3-4 games of summer league would have been nice, but that's all it was 3-4 games and a couple of months of working out. I didn't expect much from him this year, we are deep at his position. But I see no reason why he can't contribute the following year.

    Either way, this is just a minor setback. More of a setback for the fans than the player.

    Indiana must have been okay with letting go of Brogdon because they have a lot of faith in Nembhard’s play. Very similar players. Absolute lockdown defenders with selfless playmaking abilities
