    Thybulle and Grant are not, it means they're being traded

    Kris Murray should be playing. Dude has not earned a spot in the rotation so he should be playing in summer league.

    Maybe they don't want him taking away minutes from the others.

    Very Cool! So basically all the young guys.

    Thing I'm still not sure of on this roster is Grant and or Jrue making sense here long term or even for all of next season.

    I'm not sure if our young guys will all be good rotational players long term but at the least I do like all of their attitudes a lot!

    He's over the age 27 limit.

    Really no benefit for him to do it. He plays great and it doesn't mean much as he's played a lot of NBA minutes unimpressively. He plays bad its of course no benefit at all.

    Really the only thing wrong with his NBA game is making shots. He has good D and does everything else fine. He needs to make shots at the NBA level. I'm betting he never will but I don't see extra summer league experience making a difference either way.

    Compared to guys like Rupert or Yang that have dozens of things to work on, for them summer league is a potential great learning opportunity.

    The NBA is trying WAY too hard to make Bronny a star. He sucks.

    I agree, he sucks.
    But I think it's the media (ESPN etc) that covers him too much and overhypes his every move, not the NBA itself.

    Flagg scores at least 15 points tonight. True or False?

    They're not hyping him for no reason - his jerseys sell a ton and his gleague games were some of the highest demand ever. Might be stupid but there's legit fan interest.

    This summer league game with Bronny vs Flagg had $223 avg ticket price, 100 level over $1000, courtside over $3000

    True. But I think this game would be in high demand no matter who Flagg was playing against. I say 75% of the draw is for Flagg, 25% Bronny. For me it's 100% Flagg. He's the only reason I am watching this game right now.

    And it's happened a few times iirc. I thought Oden might have once.
