Not sure if people will watch the NBA SL for other teams. But hey, basketball junkies are basketball junkies. Boston v. Orlando is pretty good right now. Olynyk and Oladipo are playing awesome. Rondo - Olynyk could be a pretty good duo.
Charlotte should be ashamed. Orlando showing the NBA the proper way to come out of the NBA cellars. Oladipo and Harkless look great out there.
Sorry, what I meant was that Orlando drafted and traded wisely to get to where they are. Compare Orlando's promising talent (Oladipo, Afflalo, Harkless, Harris, Vucevic) vs. Charlotte (Kemba, MKG and questionable Biyombo and Cody Zeller) Add that to the fact that Orlando is owed three extra 1st rd picks while Charlotte is owed two but owes one of their own 1st rders (top 10 protected in 2014, top 8 in 2015 and unprotected in 2016.) However, I will say that I like the 3 yr $13mill/per Al Jefferson signing with a team option in the last yr. They honestly could have went for Bynum to meet minimum salary requirements, shot excitement into their fan base, etc. If he ended up terrible they would just end up with a better shot at the Wiggins sweepstakes. Big Al will do nothing to excite the fan base, maybe bring you to a 30+ win season and end up losing your draft pick in the loaded 2014 draft. At least they brought back the Hornets brand.
Dedmon is such a physical talent. If he can get his act together, he could come off the bench for Miami and provide some size and rebounding in a title chase. One element that Miami really lacks, only gets that kind of defense/size/rebounding from Birdman.
Oladipo will be the best rookie in the NBA. His size, physicality/toughness, handles, smarts and willingness to work hard makes him close to a "can't miss".
I've been praising oladipo for a year now. I really think he can be a all star I'm this league. I see him as dwade lite with better defense.
Love what I saw out of that Celtics- Magic game but oh my is Fab Melo way worse off than I expected. Olapido was amazing, given all the primary ball handler duties and he actually shined with it. I know several people on here said that MCW was showing he was a bust when we played the 76ers but I actually liked his game. Face up dribbled up the court despite being draped by Bev reminded me very loosely of Penny with both of them being tall guards. I am not really impressed by Trey Burke despite flashes of defensive intensity and the way we controlled the tempo for the Jazz.
Anyone have a good link for summer league ball or is the NBA offering any sort of packages? I can't wait to cash in on league pass this season.
Only caught parts of this Jazz-Heat game, but Trey Burke didn't look any good at all. He's tiny and unlike Chris Paul, who he compared himself to, he plays tiny. Brought his name up before this game, but still not sure why Dionte Christmas isn't on a NBA team. He's better than James Anderson.
Looking at the boxscore... Burke 1-12? Dang. Can't be nerves, because he did well in the title game against Louisville...
Didn't realize Indy pulled Psycho-T's qualifying offer. I wonder where he'll end up. Someone will probably overpay for him lol
