    I didn't know the Oregon Ducks were fielding a Summer League team but apparently they are.

    Elgin Cook, Dylan Ennis, Jordan Bell, Jabari Brown     and Chris Boucher (still injured?) are all suiting up for the Golden State Ducks/Warriors.

    Has it ever been asked or explained why Portland only does Vegas and not Orlando or SLC?

    Actually, there are strippers in SLC. They are just peeling paint off the outside of old houses.

    Dana Altman was Larry Riley's first college recruit. Not surprising G.S. has so many Ducks.

    So no one has a real answer as to why we only do 1 summer league?

    Probably just want to go to Vegas as a lowkey staff 'work' vacation and only want to compete in one SL to lessen chance of unnecessary injury.

    They use to go to Salt Lake awhile back but cancel just for Las Vegas. Maybe they don't want injuries too.

    Vegas is the official summer league of the NBA. The other two are tiny 4 and 8 team deals. I'd guess that they're not interested in traveling 3000 miles to the Orlando one, and that we're not invited to the SLC one.

    Also, the others are awfully early. Better to have a little time for the athletes to get acclimated.

    Tatum and Brown were good for Celtics last night. I know it's just a Summer League game but should be encouraging for them to see that they can both play in the same team and win. I think long term Tatum will be a 3 while Brown will be a 2, so future looks good for Boston. Perhaps they were spot on taking Tatum instead of Fultz, this way they might actually have a top 5 pick next year from Lakers (who look very weak) or a very high 2019 pick from Sacramento. They could add Ayton and Porter for example and address their frontcourt issues.

    Clever fecks might also have decent 2019 pick from Clippers (lottery protected) and a good Memphis pick (it's 1-6 protected in 2019 and 1-8 in 2020, it's not unthinkable that Memphis will be a lottery team in 2019 but not bad enough to be top 6 still).

    What I find weird about picks like the one Clippers owe them, they are lottery protected for 2019 and 2020 draft and then become unprotected 2022 second round pick if not conveyed - Celtics are basically gambling on Clippers not being bad during that period. I think a protection like this can comfortably turn a decent asset (which a no. 20 or so would be) into a close to worthless one (second round pick some two years later).

    Big SL for Pat. He's not guaranteed. High $$$ given out in FA means someone may fall through the cracks and get nabbed by the Blazers.
