I am depressed with this Pels Summer League squad. Probably 4 players (Hawkins, Missi, Matkovich, Reeves) that will combine for 20-30 MPG and they don't look NBA worthy.
I am afraid.
I am afraid.
By DY_nasty Go To PostIf you're a shotblocker that refuses to rebound, what's the pointHere's looking at you, Myles Turner.

He reminds me of Jaren Jackson, like that's his best outcome
@Bricks Missi does appear to have good enough dribbling to be useful in actual games. Maybe not often, but I think he will catch some defenses off guard with it.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHe reminds me of Jaren Jackson, like that's his best outcomeJaren Jackson shot 40% from three and near 80% from the line as a freshman.

I said that sounds like Wiseman and I stand by it.

Those guys from Cameroon that start late all seem to have random skills that they shouldn't have.

Laker Film Room essentially got fired by the Lakers for calling the Dan Hurley stuff a "saga" and the Lakers media department not liking that.
Saw that on twitter and was wondering what the drama was. Surely they have bigger issues to deal with, like no one wanting to sign there
This should make you feel better

Bringing this back.
I deserve this

By Sharp Go To PostChoosing to ignore this.That dunk was nice but 80% of his shot selection was ass lol
Shot goes in, player looks good!
By reilo Go To PostLove it
By Smokey Go To PostI deserve thisStone is on a crazy run with his draft picks lol, 5/7 hits in the first round (and if Jabari Smith has a good year it might becomes 6/7). I just don't understand why he bailed out the Nets with how stacked the 2025 and 2026 classes look, maybe it's because Ime said please no more young guys for a while.

And guys are going to want to get the minutes they are good enough to play so they can get paid. It’s a problem that involves coaches, agents, and front office people.
I don't even know why they went all-in so soon. I guess if you go after Ime he won't put up with a rebuild, but then as a GM find someone that fits your vision.

I guess if you go after Ime he won't put up with a rebuild, but then as a GM find someone that fits your vision.The Rockets FO is RAPM pilled, and it turns out that if you add the coach as a sixth man to RAPM calculations Ime looks like a top 3 coach since 1997. I want to say they have a guiding philosophy that isn't just "take whoever has the best RAPM and treat it like a player/coach ranking" but it's the easiest way to explain everything they've done, from who they pay in FA (FVV, Brooks, Landale, Aaron Holiday) to who they target in trades (e.g. Steve Adams) to who their coach is to who they draft to them not being that high on Sengun. Would be very funny if it works.

Maybe they looked at the 2024 draft and went "🤷🏼♂️" but now they've placed themselves out of the running for a true star in 2025 -- which they clearly lack.

I also think they were correctly worried about fielding on an awful losing team for too long teaching their players really bad habits.

But how does add the likes of Dillon Brooks solve that? He's gotta be like the antithesis of helping a young team grow.

It's possible that they just don't value mentorship, and also possible that Tillman "pray for Wemby" Fertitta got upset when they didn't get him and told them they'd better get good as soon as possible.

By RAThasReturned Go To Postwhat a bitchass front office we have.

By Sharp Go To PostIt's just summer league, but…
We'll know the outcome of all this probably in 3 years. I wanted Reed, but it's too early.
My concern with Sarr is focusing on him improving offensively rather than maximizing his talent at the 5 as a strong rebounder and rim protector. The thing about the 4 is you can kind of handwave being meh on the boards there. It's a bad habit to develop.
By Sharp Go To PostLike I said, I think they were literally just trying to acquire whoever they thought the best available free agents were (and Dillon has always been a high RAPM guy with pedestrian box score stats).

I imagine not having control of their own pick for the next 2 years probably has a lot to do with it.
Chet should be on this team over Embiid, he looks awful, soon as he came in the game the Aussies go on a run.
Chet should’ve replaced Kawhi tbh
AD, Bam and Embiid aren’t enough, especially since there’s like 3/4 more exhibition games

By pilonv1 Go To PostSo… Reed should have gone #1 right?Sharp tried to tell us be we didn't listen
again
People saying Danny asking for Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski, along with picks from GS.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostChet should be on this team over Embiid, he looks awful, soon as he came in the game the Aussies go on a run.they were up 20 when he sat and then the game got to 6
I know people hate Biid but it feels too much atm
By Sharp Go To Postthat shot pissed me off so much lol. the entire sequence before it too
Ignoring the questionable shot selection… why did he think he swished this
