Official 2016 Summer League Thread

Murray is going to yo yo between Austin and SA this year and when he's called up he'll get end of blow out scrub minutes.

Question: any body here think this kid and his agent will ever take a dime off his contract to allow the Spurs to make deals and get better?

Not with rich Paul as his agent. If he turns out and reaches his potential he's not gonna turn down the max on his first payday. That's if he's any of the following: elite role player, sixth man, starter, or all-star. Look at Harrison Barnes.

Couple quick takes:

1) Just bc Anderson is slow, doesn't mean he can't be a legit NBA player. Look at Chris Mullin, an all-time great. He was slower than Anderson and averaged 25 points a game. Anderson already is a good passer and ball handler. If he can improve his shot and post up, he can be effective. And his length can help him be an adequate defender.

2) Murray is 6'5. Im not advocating he be a ball hog, but he's SG size. He should shoot. Yes, he'll play PG but a 6'5 PG should be posting, scoring, and driving on smaller guards.

3) The pass first point guard hasn't existed in this league for the last 8 years. Those guys are all scorers.

If I were the Spurs, I would trade his at any opportunity that there's a sign of value.

[palangi]

Exactly... needs many things (1) a consistent shot (2) lock down defense and (3) build muscle. I guess same thing that Anderson had to do.

The difference between Anderson and Murray is that Anderson knows his limitations, Murray probably thinks he's super talented... which he is not.

Go get him! Kill the kid with your awesome basketball takes!

Is the Vegas roster the same as Utah? I've not seen a second release.

nope! The spustalk genius has told us he is not very athletic. Kid is garbage and now apparently should be traded?

[Keepin' it real]

Wow, Lorbek is a total scrub. Can't believe the people here who've been hyping him. No thank you.

Oh no, I hope this doesn't mean we'll be equally disappointed with Bertans. Please say it ain't so.

Lorbek hasn't played any compe ive basketball overseas with any clubs for two seasons now from what I remember. Yeah he looks washed up.

Bertans is completely different story.

[look_at_g_shred]

Is bertans going to play in vegas?

[SpursFan86]

Vegas roster is out:




Bertans, LJC, and Ndoye all on there

No. I expect him to get his 120% fully. doubt they will pennypinch his agent for peanuts and start the employment relationship with a negative connotation. Rich Paul is known to play hard ball and have his players hold off for months if need be until they get what he thinks they deserve. It would create unnecessary publicity for a tiny amount.

Paying the guy the 120% is a way to build up good will with a player who could develop into "the future" of the team and someone the team would like to retain if they turn into the player they project him to be in the best of cases. In that case, it's not worth it to start the employment relationship in their left foot by pennypinching for what is in fact, peanuts in this market.

[Spurs9]

Man, I'm pretty excited about Murray.

18 players, kind of a large group. Bertans taking 45, lol, Blair

[Obstructed_View]

Is bertans going to play in vegas?

He's not on the current roster at all.

EDIT: . I've been looking for exactly that roster for the last five minutes.

So I guess Hanlan isn't going to even get a shot. Damn.

[SpursFan86]

Looking at that Vegas roster, and damn, we should roll through compe ion There's a chance 3 or maybe even 4 those guys are expected to have somewhat of a spot in the rotation this upcoming season. Throw in the D-League MVP Jarnell Stokes and this is looking like a stacked SL roster.

Dope! Thanks for sharing

[Chinook]

Starting lineups for Vegas? If this is going to be Simmons and Anderson playing again, I'm going with Murray, Forbes, Bertans, Anderson and Lalanne. Main bench would be Arcidiacono, mings, Simmons, Stokes and Ndoye

[jyra]

Disappointing that Milutinov didn't make it. There was a rumor a couple of days ago that Crvena Zvezda (Serbian team) is interested in him, maybe that's why he is missing from the roster.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm really hoping they send Anderson home. He's proven that his spot is secure. Everyone else needs PT.

[Chinook]

I hear GMs around the league are upset with Stokes agreeing to join an already stacked squad.

[djohn14]

That team is stacked. Do you think Stokes/LJC are battling for a spot or do you think we would take both.

Woot, woot! and my favorite Becky Jamon!!!!!!!!!!! No Milutinov though... hhhmmm all the reports about him playing in SL were premature... maybe he did decline to go to Rio on account of Zika? It's weird.
Thanks for sharing!

I dout Anderson stays more than one game. Lorikeets will be hurt the whole time. So there is 2 down
