    He’s played well enough to interest a team with cap space imo. He’s got a cheap contract that a team has control over long term if he shows anything. He’d be a low risk pickup for someone like Chicago. I don’t think we should be developing rotation players. We need vets.

    We all wish Neil could make a deal for Meyers. He's the one guy that just doesn't fit. Slow afoot on defense, and basically a 1 trick pony.

    A trade that sends CJ and others out for a SF/PF.

    It seems like we need a forward who can shoot a little more than another guard who can shoot. So if someone needs to be cut to add Jenkins, it will be a guard IMO.

    Layman led the team in per...+22.....closest to him was Jenkins +11....it's not all about offensive production...Layman is a keeper in my view

    After having a poor 1st half, it was great to see Simons drill two clutch game sealing shots. That bolds well for the young talented guard. I really dig his calm cool demeanor.

    Really disappointed in Baldwin this game.

    In the previous games, the team was +15 for every 20 minutes he played.
    This game he was only +14 in 28 minutes.

    my figures were from before the game was over....Layman actually did better at the end...Collins overcame Jenkins numbers ...

    It's going to be another Lakers-Blazers final. It's like the Warriors-Cavs of Summer League.

    Yawn, another Baldwin double-double.

    Oh yeah, he's now leading the league in assists/game. Another day at the office...

    He is developing into a serious player who will give team fits when he substitutes in. Man! he don't play with B.S.

    I'm going to go way, way, way out on a limb here....

    If we win the finals, Baldwin will be MVP of the league.

    Neil takes a lot of heat in here, but he sure put an excellent group of guys together, and you can tell he is looking for talent that can make a difference. Some of the other GM's in the SL seem to not care as much, giving key newcomers way too much rest, and time off, when they need to work. Dame played, he didn't sit. That Trae Young cat needs to play.
