Bassey just looks useless. Bummer

41 at least looks like he could be a useful wing at 6-8 and only 19. Atheltic and runs well

Ellison is looking athletic and energetic.

Queen is inefficient but I love the hops on him. I wouldn't mind him making the team.  most nights might be a little frustrating from him but I feel like some nights he would shine and he is worth trying to develop. 

 

I have seen none of Petrusev tonight and I hate Morey for it. 

Sidebar: does it mean anything for prospective playoff outcomes for next season if I’m flying on a Greek airline (Aegean) and Giannis is doing the safety video?

 

Suns might lose ayton for nothing now unless they match. they want to be in the KD sweepstakes and if they match the offer sheet (or can’t get a sign and trade complete before 12 am est) they can’t trade ayton til jan 15 and he controls where he goes. Also don’t have enough to acquire KD prior to locked in with ayton til jan 15 and money would be an issue as sarver doesn’t want to pay ayton and KD. Was told prior to the whole KD situation popping up any offer sheet they’d have matched regardless. 

 

If he kept himself in better shape his whole career…

I know hamstrings linger but holy sheet this dude is dragging this out. Probably realized this might be his last chance to get a ring. Hopefully, it isn't to little to late type scenario

If we could somehow get Wiggins next offseason I’d be pretty content if he plays like he did with the warriors the past two years. He’s actually a good fit with what we need. Plus I’m guessing embiid could recruit him to Philly. I’m  sure the warriors are gonna offer him a max though if he replicates that this upcoming season. I was listening to a podcast and one of their beat writers said the warriors view him as one of their core four they need

Moody could take it 

 

Suns matched for Ayton

Yeah i figured they would. Couldn’t let him just walk. However Fs them in the KD sweepstakes. Don’t have ayton to trade as an asset til jan and his value decreases cause everyone knows they want to trade him and now on a max. I doubt the nets wait til jan to do a trade. Don’t see what the suns have left as enough. 

Just thinking of the KD trade market, the ayton offer sheet matching really opens up the KD market. I thought Phoenix with ayton (going to nets or used to get more assets), bridges, cam and picks was likely the best offer the nets would get. Now that ayton can’t be dealt til jan 15 it changes the dynamics. Especially if reports are true KD would like to go back to GS (frankly could see it simply due to the fact KD is getting ridiculed for not winning a title without the warriors. So that’ll continue anyway or he could go to GS win two more titles and shove it in fans face and just saying he has even more rings as he’s gonna get blasted for the 2 anyways . I could see him doing it) 

so you have

suns: give up bridges, cam, picks and filler— think they’d need utah to give up Mitchell in a 3 way to get there which also means they’d have to deal Simmons. Plus supposedly Knicks offer is gonna be something insane and those Knicks picks for utah likely more valuable than suns picks and even Brooklyn). 

miami: Herro, jovic (when they can deal him), straus, Vincent picks 

sixers: maxey, Harris, thybulle and picks 

toronto: siakam/Barnes, og and picks. 

warriors: poole, Wiggins, kuminga, wiseman and picks. (would require also dealing Simmons which i wouldn’t be surprised if they’d consider it   if they get value for him and that type of package anyway) 

Look at Maxey recruiting Lebron to Philly lol jk

His best shot is to stay with Kyrie and Simmons. 

Heat package is garbage 

Raptors have said they aren't giving up Barnes 

Warriors: Moody looked like a player so Nets want him and Kuminga for sure.

frankly Herro is the only player on the heat I’d want. And bam is not included as he can’t be traded there with Simmons. 

raptors make sense depending on them redirecting siakam to bring in another asset and keeping Og but i don’t think that moves the needle. 

suns offer is really not that impressive. Cam is a bench player who’s a fringe starter and bridges is a nice player but nowhere close to being a centerpiece package for KD and can’t use ayton now to get more assets. 

I actually had a discussion last night with one of the Arizona coaches about the whole situation with ayton and what he’s heard with KD. He and I came to the same conclusion with what Kevin Durant should do. If the Warriors are willing to trade back for him and give up the players (poole on a new deal, moody, kuminga and wiseman— which works if poole is given a new deal around 25-26 mil per which is reasonable with how he played this year and way contracts given out) that he should go back to Golden State and give everyone the finger. KD’s perspective going back to GS is he’s gonna get crapped on for not being able to win a title without the warriors. He may never win a title outside of GS and get crapped on. He gets crapped on for winning titles with the warriors. Even winning a title somewhere like Phoenix he’s going to get crap cause of Booker and cp3 being there. So might as well go win a few more titles with GS and say FU to everyone

Knew this was coming

The Philadelphia 76ers signing of P.J. Tucker is "likely to be placed under the investigation microscope by the league office.” (Per, Marc Stein)

Halfway through the 2nd and still no Petrusev.

Riller has 13 points in 6 minutes. Showing he can be that microwave scorer off the bench. 

Nice game from Queen so far tonight. Still feeling like I want him on the roster even though he will be frustrating at times.

It's the summer league and doesn't look like he even started so odds are he is nothing

Riller was a nice scoring guard who didnt make it as a rookie. We signed him last year, but he got injured. This summer is his first basketball action in a while coming off major injury, and he has still had minimal playing experience now entering his 3rd year in the league. I was hoping he would shake off some rust this summer and start looking better and better. Seems like he is going that.

I dont think he will find room on our roster, being another guard. But I still think this guy has a future in the league if he can find the right opportunity somewhere.

Problem is he is already 25 and 6'1" and are a ton of those 20 year olds exactly the same size but with more potential than him. 

Sure, he will make a ton in Europe.

Yeah I didn't check to see.  But the issue is,  Daryl is really that dumb. They are being investigated for it,  and this was so obvious.
