Official 2016 Summer League Thread

[raybies]

Gonna be watching the Bucks game. Interested to see how Maker and Ibeh perform. Still haven't given up on Ibeh.

[raybies]

Maker already looking like a bust

[HankChinaski]

Who cares about an interview after one SUMMER LEAGUE GAME.

Nostradamus armchair fans already over hyping / criticizing some 19 year old kid who hasn't fully mature yet. Whether he has game or not, he'll still have to convince the coaching staff he is ready and not ride pine.

He needs work. He says the right things. Being cocky can be good, but chalk this up to being young.

[SAGirl]

Maker already looking like a bust
:lol
Thanks for sharing.

[raybies]

:lol
Thanks for sharing.

... He's actually doing alright now. Just playing a lot of minutes and getting a lot of touches. Started off real bad though. I guess I was hating a little bit lol

[SAGirl]

AT least the young men are ambitious for a repeat!!!!!!!

Only way he sees the ball is off offensive rebounds. Fathead, Simmons, and Murray are ball hogs

It's true that they are high-usage guys who should give Cady the ball more, but he can't let the other aspects of his games lapse because of that. When you're in his position, you do everything you can to impact the game and make a name for yourself.

[SAGirl]

Super encouraging quote I had not seen b4 about Anderson and Simmons' chemistry:


The Spurs had the best team in Salt Lake City, and it wasn't particularly close. Sending two regular-season rotation players will do that.
Both Kyle Anderson and Jonathan Simmons played meaningful minutes during 2015-16 for the Spurs, and it showed against the inferior competition here.
The game was moving slower for the San Antonio duo, who clearly developed chemistry during real games last year. "It definitely helps a lot," Simmons said. "He's my guy. We're very cool on and off the court. We just try to make each other better and stay positive by staying in each other's ear to stay better."
At times, it appeared they were playing little more than a two-man game on the way to an average of 22 points for Simmons and 23.7 for Anderson.

Quite honestly, very encouraging to read they help each other so much, through thick and thin these two.

He looks like he's running the court like Usain Bolt compared to Lorbek & Kirk tbh. It's probably too late for him now though, Ndoye will probably start.

Thought he would be JaMychal 2.0. I was wrong

[SAGirl]

Would be nice for Cady to show up then.
I am thinking Cady has to make his mark on defense. Something to watch out for with him.

I think the same of LJC.

You can tell they play with a lot of synergy. It's really a trait the Spurs cultivate with all the dinners, bonding experiences, etc. Really want to see them look after Murray and show him the ropes, especially Simmons. Hate him or love him, you got to respect how hard he has worked for everything he has.

[r0drig0lac]

Maker will be very good

[Chinook]

Houston vs Atlanta. Want to see Bembry, Payton and Harrell.

Indeed but I don't hate him. I hope he surpasses my expectations. :tu

[Kawhitstorm]

A good point on Murray is that he didn't seem a Spursy type pick. Even though he was a favorite of mine, it was precisely based on physical attributes and his youth, the potential capacity to improve with his physical attributes. When I dug more on him, he didn't seem Spursy, and well you can already perceive the mixed reactions here.

You know who was very Spursy: Stephen Jackson aka Tim's favorite teammate

I never saw those times... I feel like I am at a disadvantage with old time Spurs fans, but I do know of his reputation. He was a great teammate allegedly but quite a character... also wasn't there some jealousy issue between him and Manu...

I was making a joke based on the Zaza business. I do think some might be annoyed about Anderson being there for a third time, especially considering that he was MVP last year.
You were right:

[Spur-Addict]

Too much excitement over Murray's debut is my guess.
Plus for me Milutinov's absence. I was more hyped up to see him than any other of the latest additions personally.
I don't know zilch about Hanlan.

Really?

[SAGirl]

Really?
Yup. I know you are being sarcastic, but its one of a few new Spurs I really haven't watched much of at all. He's kind of a mystery for me.

[tonight...you]

Yup. I know you are being sarcastic, but its one of a few new Spurs I really haven't watched much of at all. He's kind of a mystery for me.
Not ragging, but it's really not hard to find his full games. I've watched him, Bertans, and Bourosis to the point that I already have a decent feel for how they would do if they made it here.
Milutinov? I project him as a slighter, faster Baynes right now.

[Spur-Addict]

Yup. I know you are being sarcastic, but its one of a few new Spurs I really haven't watched much of at all. He's kind of a mystery for me.

Dead serious. If he's a mystery then that's understandable. At present I don't see anything distinctive enough to justify a roster spot. No extensive intangible's, or any single trait worthy. He hustles, rim runs, blah-blah-blah.

Yeah. He could be useful, but I have a feeling he'll be a foul machine, which will keep him off the court to begin with.

[Spur-Addict]

You answered your own inclination sir. And honestly, you could get some athletic bum to do that. Run around and agitate. Rim run minus the intellect. He's not done cooking, hell, he may never be done cooking. But this is a common occurrence.

Forbes and Murray on the NBA.com rookie ladder.

[Obstructed_View]

I still can't believe that no one's commented on Hanlan's absence yet.

Except me on the previous page, literally minutes after the roster came out. :)

However, you want to see all other players play within some kind of system. I don't know how you can evaluate players if they are just playing street ball.

[callo1]

KA was listed at 230lbs when he came into the league, and he is listed at 230 still, but he certainly looks like he has added some size. I looked at his rookie pictures, and he had undoubtedly put on some weight.

What are your feelings on this? Are you guys and gals seeing the same thing?

Leonard last year, it was obvious he bulked up a lot! I can't say the same with Anderson. Although, in Utah, he seems like he's so much bigger than everyone else.

This man beats them all, we shall rise and fall with him, hope he adds more to his basketball powerbase this offseason:

huh?

[Spur|n|Austin]

bummer, I wanted to see Bertans tonight...

[offset formation]

huh?

Perhaps it has to do with their rights. If they havent signed yet, they are still the rights to their previous teams, whereas Murray never had those prior rights to another team and is therefore allowed insurance.

[SAGirl]

Contract issues, the Timmy retirement thing holding up our summer league squad!

[objective]

No Bertans or LJC?

Come on now.

If they aren't playing tonight because no contract is signed during a Saturday, then don't expect them to play tomorrow either.

Maybe the holdup is Duncan's retirement announcement postponement holding up the waive & stretch?

[offset formation]

bummer, I wanted to see Bertans tonight...

Probably haven't signed yet due to the decision from Timmay

[emanueldavidginobili]

Wow that sucks big time.. I was looking forward to seeing them play tonight.

[SAGirl]

This Timmy thing is getting ridiculous TBH. No one wants to say it bc it's Timmeeh but come on now.

[ulosturedge]

Well fuck that Timmy can take as long as he wants even though I would like to see those guys play.

[Solid D]

It will be interesting to see how well Hanlan meshes with this SL squad. They could use some of the effort plays he showed for Utah versus the Spurs.

On another note, I wondered the other night if Murray's slashing abilities didn't adversely affect Simmons' psyche a bit. Jonathon was clearly off.

[Solid D]

I also hope that Simmons learned a valuable lesson not to shoot with 5 seconds still remaining on the shot clock protecting a 2-point lead with 9 seconds left in the game.

[BillMc]

Looking forward to watching Bertans and Murray tonight. About as interesting as SL can get for me.

Chinook has been saying for a while that him being mentally weak is one of those intangibles that blocks him from improving. If he allows that to get to him, Dijon will knock him out bc if there's something that kid has is confidence.

[sasaint]

One thing would make it even more interesting: seeing a young big who actually had a chance to make the team. AND seeing him involved in the offense. Kirk has been pitiful, and Cady has been completely ignored. A glimpse of Milutinov and LJC would be very nice. Frankly, it is looking more and more likely that Bonner will be back.

[wildbill2u]

I also hope that Simmons learned a valuable lesson not to shoot with 5 seconds still remaining on the shot clock protecting a 2-point lead with 9 seconds left in the game.

If he doesn't make it in the league, it will be because he doesn't think or have much BB IQ. This is something he should have learned before his second SL. Clock management is so basic. Not to mention he almost threw the ball away with a bad inbounds pass. He had mostly passing problems and handling problems in the game where he had 9 TOs. I like his athleticism but his mental mistakes don't seem to be getting corrected.

[sasaint]

Very. Chinook has been saying for a while that him being mentally weak is one of those intangibles that blocks him from improving. If he allows that to get to him, Dijon will knock him out bc if there's something that kid has is confidence.

I believe Simmons still has some value. We should try to move him ASAP.

It's a shame that Milutinov is not coming over. This year a young big could get some real playing time.

[Drom John]

Yes, LJC will occupy a roster spot.
At this time last year, so did Reggie Williams.
Later in the summer so did Jimmer Fredette, Deshaun Thomas, Keifer Sykes, Youssou Noye and Julian Washburn; none of which made it to opening day. It's a 20-man roster.
OTOH, as a first round pick LJC has significant guaranteed money, and I believe only Fredette had significant money (less than LJC).
That make LJC harder to cut, but the Spurs will cut if they like someone better. Last year they cut Williams, McCallum and Butler from the 15-man.

Thanks John, is hard to see the Spurs cutting him since he will have like a three year guaranteed contract.

See Bertans on roster, buys ticket, finds out he's not playing afterall, regrets buying ticket. Oh well still get to see what Murray can do in his second game.

[ElNono]

Who cares about LJC, we already know he's a scrub... Bertans OTOH, that's a guy I wanted to see...

Nah. LJC has two guaranteed seasons. They aren't cutting him for a Kevin Martin.

They can easily package him in a trade though, right?

[Chinook]

Sure but WTF is with people trying to kick guys off the roster in summer league? Also, I find it hard to think the Spurs would be able to trade a guy they don't want to give a million bucks to.

Such is life as a Spurs fan with all the DNP-CDs during the season thanks to Pop. So a summer league absence due to contract issues shouldn't bother anyone.

I don't think the Spurs would kick him out now, but mid-season, that's a different story... especially if they want to clear a roster spot.

He already retired. The Dallas shooting prolonged his announcement. The Spurs clearly already have the memo hence the RE deal with Deadmon

[Seventyniner]

It's mad annoying if he retires at this point. Could have taken forever had he opted out.

My guess is that he really wants to come back and his body (knees) just won't cooperate. If he could be waived (stretched) and signed for the minimum later, that would seem to be best for everyone involved.

RIP Zubac.

That dunk was filthy

[TheGoldStandard]

This game is putting me to sleep...

@Emporer
Thanks for the pictures.

I got a good laugh when they were talking about all the contracts the Lakers gave out.

Ben Simmons has made a couple of Magic passes against the Lakers. If he develops a shot, Simmons will be spectacular.

[LakerHater]

Nance jr!

[SAGirl]

It's not that big a deal but Fuck Tim. Just announce your retirement and lets get on with this..
I hear you lol :lol
you know what would be depressing?
If he took all this long ass time, delayed rookies being signed all this sheeezzz just to say yea, I am retiring. For all this wait, i kind of am now expecting him to say screw it I am coming back.

[LakerHater]

[SAGirl]

It's mad annoying if he retires at this point. Could have taken forever had he opted out.
I commented to someone else something similar.. but you are right. At this rate, he better f*ing come back damn it. To say he was retiring, we could have gotten on with it, signed rookies and be done.

[Darkwaters]

Here in Thomas and Mack right now. Hordes of idiot Californians cheering for the Lakers. With the Warriors up right after this, the average IQ out here is a bit low.

[sasaint]

I remember seeing some mock drafts last season showing Nance going to the Spurs. Wish he had. He would be a nice piece to have right now.

[Chinook]

Ingram has those serial-killer eyes.

[SAGirl]

I remember seeing some mock drafts last season showing Nance going to the Spurs. Wish he had. He would be a nice piece to have right now.
Pop got Milutinov cause you know, cash strapped cause of LMA... I got no words. :bang We don't even have Milutinov in SL right now when we need you know? big men.

[TheGoldStandard]

I got a good laugh when they were talking about all the contracts the Lakers gave out.

As if they were super smart contracts and gonna get them into the playoffs

[SAGirl]

Wow that lack of defense on Nance Jr! This is why SL doesn't show shit lol

[loveforthegame]

I love Nance. Wish the Spurs got him.

[Mr. Body]

I still don't trust that Simmons couldn't even get his team into the NCAA Tournament, but he does have great vision.

[Spurs9]

Tbh I really like some of the pieces the lakers have, nance jr is all over the place making plays, russel looks to be improved and playing aggtessive. Ingram hasnt played well but they have a good core. Why isnt Okafor playing for 76ers? I almost enjoy this more than regular season games, summer league rocks :tu

[TheGoldStandard]

I hear you lol :lol

If he comes back he's even more of a dick because he could have just opted out and waited to decide and then come back at whatever price he wanted.

[SPURt]

Murray looks better than Ingram so far lol

[Spurs9]

Can we trade anderson for nance? :lol

[slick'81]

If he comes back he's even more of a dick because he could have just opted out and waited to decide and then come back at whatever price he wanted.
It seems he and ginobili are tying the spurs hands

[SAGirl]

I still don't trust that Simmons couldn't even get his team into the NCAA Tournament, but he does have great vision.
Indeed. He's a great passer.. but he won't be an elite player until he shoots better thats the truth.

[skulls138]

I hear you lol :lol

[Spurs9]

I might like the lakers in the regular season for the first time :wow

[SAGirl]

Can we trade anderson for nance? :lol
I am going to get on Mr. Body proposing that trade for J.Simms.
Anderson is a star in SL.

[Ron Swanson]

I might like the lakers in the regular season for the first time :wow

That's life pretty much lol

[skulls138]

If he comes back he's even more of a dick because he could have just opted out and waited to decide and then come back at whatever price he wanted.Maybe they said hes going to get that money no matter what. Fuck y'all

[TheGoldStandard]

Maybe they said hes going to get that money no matter what. Fuck y'all

That's fine but obviously they're operating over the cap right? So why not opt out and then just pay him whatever using his bird rights? Could have everyone else signed. He chose to opt in and take that shitty 6m and then locked the Spurs in a closet waiting for him to get over his Diva moment.

[SAGirl]

Maybe they said hes going to get that money no matter what. Fuck y'all
:lol

[LakerHater]

WOW! :wow

[TheGoldStandard]

Lakers acting like they won the finals

[Ron Swanson]

Are they seriously celebrating a SL game win?

[Chinook]

:lol McConnell thought he had a Disney moment.

[LakerHater]

S-bomb!

[Spurs9]

For real...
https://m.popkey.co/5e278e/kdKdw.gif
Kobes gone, and the team is being built with a bunch of new players. Ingram, Russel, Nance, clarkson, Randle, Zubac :tu

[tholdren]

DAngelo Russel is exactly the type of ghetto douche that is ruining the nba. Classless.

No Spurs fan should ever say that, EVER!!

[Mr. Body]

Greatest Lakers win in half a decade.

[TheGoldStandard]

Todays Lakers

Todays Lakers

':cry kobe played on the lakers once, never forget:cry'
:lol todays nba fans

[BillMc]

My ILP is not working. Would someone PM me as link? Thnaks.

[slick'81]

Of course spurs lose at the buzzer lol

[BillMc]

':cry kobe played on the lakers once, never forget:cry'


Agreed. :toast

[kxs783kms]

My ILP is not working. Would someone PM me as link? Thnaks.

Me too. Thanks.

[Chinook]

Sounds like no Anderson.

EDIT: Nevermind?

[loveforthegame]

Let's go. :flag:

[DarkGinobili]

:flag:

[Robz4000]

Lalanne!

[loveforthegame]

LaLanne working hard early.

[Robz4000]

Det freethrow shooting

[loveforthegame]

Someone take the lid off the basket please.

[tholdren]

Anderson
Simmons
Lalanne
Forbes
Murray

Starting

[Spurs9]

Is bertans playing tonights?

[skulls138]

That's fine but obviously they're operating over the cap right? So why not opt out and then just pay him whatever using his bird rights? Could have everyone else signed. He chose to opt in and take that shitty 6m and then locked the Spurs in a closet waiting for him to get over his Diva moment.Then hes probably retiring and thats a gift. As an article pointed out, if they waive him he gets that money. Or maybe he can say hes retiring like Jordan did and get his knee fixed and come back.

[Mr. Body]

Spurs bad so far. Warriors are in their heads, lol.

[TheGoldStandard]

Murray with some active hands already

[Robz4000]

:lol this offense

[loveforthegame]

Simmons. :lol

Murray quick active hands.

[tholdren]

Simmons - love you, but how in the hell are you in the nba and getting traveling called against you?

[SAGirl]

Dijon could have gone for his own layup but wanted to pass... damn Simms

[TheGoldStandard]

Then hes probably retiring and thats a gift. As an article pointed out, if they waive him he gets that money. Or maybe he can say hes retiring like Jordan did and get his knee fixed and come back.

That's the part I don't care about.. Pay him whatever.. just announce what you're going to do so we can move on and get our players minutes.. FUck all this waiting a few days more or whatever to say i'm leaving or staying

[Ron Swanson]

Is bertans playing tonights?

No. Hasn't signed his contract yet.

[tholdren]

don't know what people see in cady.

[BatManu20]

Lalaine looks like shit. Granted, this is the first time I've seen him play since last summer.

[Robz4000]

God damn they always regurgitate the same shit when the Spurs play.

[loveforthegame]

Hand up Anderson.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol who's playing Center? We have road cones in the paint jamming things up

[Robz4000]

Jesus fuck what the hell is this team doing on offense?

[Keepin' it real]

This game is so much better than the 6ers Lakers game.

[tholdren]

Lol who's playing Center? We have road cones in the paint jamming things up
Cady was the thin one, Stokes is the fat one

[td4mvp2k]

Slomo4mvp

[BatManu20]

God damn they always regurgitate the same shit when the Spurs play.

Was about to say this. Like a broken record.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fat head oriented offense :lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

Jesus fuck what the hell is this team doing on offense?

ISO ISO and more ISO.. this is why i dont like Kyle in the lineup with Murray

[BillMc]

Murray looking a little more raw this game. No problem. We'll see this from a 19 year old.

[NASpurs]

Jarnell Stokes sighting!

[Killakobe81]

Greatest Lakers win in half a decade.

Lol

[SAGirl]

Lol who's playing Center? We have road cones in the paint jamming things up
Cady... but transition defense has been very bad... both Dijon and JSimms bad. Kyle the only one getting back in transition a few times. Should not be that way if he's the big man ... in this lineup anyway.

[TheGoldStandard]

They took Murray out because I guess they want more Kyle offense.. lol..

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahaha black hole Cummings

[SAGirl]

Stokes is really small to be a big.

[tholdren]

kyle anderson sucks

[loveforthegame]

We should go to Anderson more.

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahahaha.. this offense is pretty bad

[BatManu20]

This offense has been horrendous thus far :lol

[keeferob25]

Anderson is garbage

[loveforthegame]

If we go to Anderson they'd never see it coming.

[TheGoldStandard]

So far its just Kyle ISO

[Robz4000]

At least it's better than the Porky show.

[SAGirl]

They took Murray out because I guess they want more Kyle offense.. lol..
No I think they are testing Kyle with entirely bench players.

[tholdren]

Anderson has jacked up half the shots and is sporting 6 points on 7fga. Trade whilst stock is high.

[SPURt]

So Bertans this summer league :depressed

[td4mvp2k]

At least it's better than the Porky show.really like arci hope he competes in TC

[SAGirl]

So far its just Kyle ISO
Kyle was indecisive bc he's wanted to pass but there is no movement... no one is cutting and they have no slashers... I guess it's an experiment. I suppose a situation with a crappy bench and he has to be scoring? :lol Weird.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kyle ball is loser ball, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Stokes is a tank.

[tholdren]

Kyle doesn't touch the ball spurs instantly score ... because they passed.

[SAGirl]

I like Arci tBH. He's a passer...

[Ron Swanson]

It's a goddamn insurance seminar. :sleep

[tholdren]

Kyle was indecisive bc he's wanted to pass but there is no movement... no one is cutting and they have no slashers... I guess it's an experiment. I suppose a situation with a crappy bench and he has to be scoring? :lol Weird.
Parker does it he's a fat ball hog - fat head does it because no one cuts. lol

[SAGirl]

Stokes is a tank.
a mini tank?

[TheGreatYacht]

Arci doesn't deserve a TC spot.

[Dro210]

McCaw has some potential. Hope it doesn't pan out :lol

[Robz4000]

Time to blow it up. Can we trade Stokes and Cummings for that McCobb kid?

[NASpurs]

Time to blow it up. Can we trade Stokes and Cummings for that McCobb kid?

It's McCock I think

[SAGirl]

McCaw looking nice.

[SAGirl]

McCaw has some potential. Hope it doesn't pan out :lol
He was a candidate for a few of us here this draft. Let's just hope Dijon turns out better lol :lol

[SAGirl]

I recognize these sets.... hm Spurs offense

[loveforthegame]

Murray is crazy rebounder.
