What's Vegas like during SL btw? Is it fun seeing all of the NBA activity? It’s awesome. You see nba players all over the place. Last few years I’ve seen mutombo, Caron butler, Paul George and banchero. Probably a few others. |

My take on Summer League is I'm much more interested in who doesn't look the part than who plays well. I've seen lots of non-NBA rotation guys play well in Summer League for a game or two and it didn't mean anything. If a guy is trash in Summer League, it's usually much more telling. Strawther needs to absolutely ball out given Booth has bet Jokic's era on him and Braun. Am i the only one that is terrified Strawther has a rough SL? Dont want to f**k up his confidence |

Anyone into F1 (americans might not be, you have nascar lmao) Ive heard amazing things about going to the pre-season testing in Barcelona. You get to come REAL close on both cars and drivers. |

Dont want to f**k up his confidence Marathon not a race - Strawther should go play his game and drive to the hoop if the 3's aren't falling. One thing about late first rounders is that they got thick skin - they got nothing to lose if their career goes south. Not worried about this confidence. |

You cant possibly think all late first rounders have thick skin. They all have different personalities
And they only have generational wealth for themselfs and their loved ones to lose.

Lets asuming we get Westbrook. It would look a whole lot worse if we dont
But if Strawther isnt ready to be NBA rotation player. He should play very well in SL if he is. But if he is not we are either looking at a lot more Zeke/Vlatko and PWat playing backup 2.
Welcome to a life of zero spacing.
Orrr, you are looking at a lot of Murray - Westbrook backcourt. Byebye size and defense.

First round contracts are not generational wealth - not with almost 50% income tax, and another 40% of death tax. |

Yes. Exactly.
If he fucks up that is all he gets. If he doesnt f**k up he probably earns 50+ mill over his career

One thing about late first rounders is that they got thick skin - they got nothing to lose if their career goes south. Not worried about this confidence. Except there are no other guards on the bench, and very few who can shoot period, so it kind of is a sprint. Him not being ready to play at a playoff rotation level this season blows up the entire thing. He wasn't given the luxury of a marathon because Booth wants to force Malone's hand to play his special little draft project. Thanks Calvin. Hope it works! |

No takes about Malone comments on Strawther playing some «point guard»
This better be him trolling Calvin for not adding a PG

Kind of excited to see Parker Braun play tonight. Curious as to what kind of motor he has at 6'10".
Also excited to see Holmes and our two-way guys get some run. Staying up late tonight even though I work early tomorrow.

I'll have it on the laptop. Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez is fighting on ESPN+ tonight so that's on the big screen. He's not fighting anyone notable but he's one of the greatest fighters to ever live and he's nearing the end of his run so I will make sure to watch.

Strawther all over the court. Some overzealous passes but he's shooting with confidence and playing D.
