http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=20643 Didn't see this posted yet. It's the first I've heard of this. Surprised it turned up on hoopsworld first.. Could be very interesting. Hope they properly stream the games though
Cool, glad to see the players doing this, smart move on their part. Kyle needs to avoid the buffets after coming into camp last year out of shape. We need him hitting on all cylinders early. DD
Also, seems like they haven't confirmed Kyle Lowry yet, and hoopsworld is just speculating as to who might be playing there.
Link is broken. Is this the article? http://www.hoopsworld.com/teammates-trying-to-join-vegas-league/
Dude, he was injured. No one worked harder last offseason than Kyle Lowry. Get your facts straight Dan Langhi...
That wasn't quite the original article. Here is another one that's closer to the original one: http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...izing_Vegas_League_With_Nearly_70_NBA_Players
He came into camp out of shape, the Chronicle reported it. No big deal, the injury slowed him down in his quest to get "IN SHAPE". Let's be truthful now. Dan Langhi = sarcastic point by me, sorry you missed it. DD
I thought he hurt his back in the preseason, after coming into camp out of shape....... Either way, he had a great year for a career backup... DD
only 2 games a day? if they have 8 man teams they can have 8 teams and play 4 games a day or maybe 3 games so like each team plays b2b and then gets a days rest i dont think i'll go though my weekends in sept are already filled up with other stuff and chances are since this probably will be the only way people will get to see a bunch of nba players at once playing somewhat organized games for who knows how long they'll probably charge more than the standard regular SL fare.
Thus begs the question as to where the proceeds go, do they go to the players? Is this a way for them to fund themselves during the strike? Can they do that? They certainly deserve the chance to do something like that. DD
Lowry should post up on all the pgs that try to guard him. He's got a big enough rear to create separation.
Would love an excuse to drive up to Vegas; usually go 4th of July weekend, so I always miss the summer league.
