You right that teams loaded but why did both Gilcrest and Lucas Jr. agree to be the same team. They won't get the playing team they need to show scouts.
My friends and I refered to Hollis Price as 'dunhk' because that was the sound the ball made as it scrapped the back of the rim every time he shot. Price is money if left even just a little room and gets into the passing lanes defensively. If his PG skills have improved (passing, seeing the court) and his ball control in the lane is better then he's going to make a big impact this summer if he gets any real time on the court.
I'm sad to see Spanoulis not making it here. I hope he will recover fom his injuries and improve in Europe so we can get him next year. I'm excited about having Badiane. Playing in the developmental league may be better for him than going back to Germany.
It will give him the opportunity to hear "Malick, wenn Sie nicht dabei sind, etwas auf dem Fußboden zu tun, müssen Sie sitzen treten auf dem Ende der Bank zurück." in English. Translation... Malick, if you are not going to do anything on the floor, you need to sit on the end of the bench.

you know what, screw Spanoulis. He's not taking us seriously and since he's "blossoming" over in the Euro leagues, let someone else have him. I, for one, wouldn't want a player, that got picked in the 2nd round, with zero NBA playing time trying to be a prima donna. If he doesn't want to play for us, just say so. If he don't want to be "handcuffed" with a 2nd round player contract, speak up. Basically, just let us move on so he can become the best Spanoulis he can be. And in other comments....I was surprised to see Hollis Price and William Avery's name on our roster. Hopefully Price improved on some of his weaknesses. Heck, he might even make the roster
Bumping this thread now that the games are getting close... Is anyone from ClutchFans going to be in Minnesota for the games? I'm currently in Cleveland and seriously considering going. Road trip!!
Summer league will be a great way to predict how these guys will do in the regular season. Just look at Dan Langhi.
