NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

Archie Moses said:
If I'm the owner, GM, coach, part of the organization, family, or fan of any player that was a high lottery pick, or more importantly, of a player I know is going to either start or be a key rotation player for my team next season, I do not want them to play in summer league. If they do, I'm holding my breath and I'm shutting them down after one game.

The risk of injury is just too high and too scary.

Summer league should be for the dudes fighting for a roster spot, second round picks, guys that need to develop, and to showcase potential and abilities with a higher level of elite athletes.

I also wanna do away with how many roster spots are on a team. Stop carrying roster spots for token dudes that played college nearby or you know have 0 chance of ever making the league.

When I was younger, I would totally disagree with my take. Wisdom is given, it's earned.

Completely agree. AND - still love to watch it. It's fun. Nothing beats immediate boom-or-bust hot takes after 1-2 fake games.

Not to mention - there's literally nothing else going right now. Smack in the middle of the MLB All-Star break, it's brilliantly timed.
 
Maluach has made a couple, but can't say I love taking away his rim pressure so he can stand on the perimeter all game.
 
The money keeps going up for owners and players, so it won't happen soon, but at some point the league will have to change their strategy from "the game doesn't matter" to "we need to entertain the fans". No other league constantly disrespects the fans like the NBA.

This.
I like the NBA less and less every year it seems like.
And it's a great product when it's great it's just rarely great.
 
Yuki Kawamura from the Bull's team was impressive, and had great court vision. Dude can pass the ball, but the only setback is his height 5'8". But he definitely can play.
