I very much disagree with the bolded.

Well I actually said to keep him in this PG role the entirety of the SL so I think we’re in agreement ;)

Is Summer League lesser talent than the G-League? I actually would have thought the opposite but maybe I’m wrong? For instance, you have guys like Cooper Flagg, Tristan Da Silva, Jace Richardson, DaRon Holmes, Dalton Knecht, Terrence Shannon Jr, Rob Dillingham, Nikola Topic, Ajay Mitchell...

I mean yes and no. Carter’s likely ceiling is a Caruso, Smart, Hart, DiVincenzo, etc. type. Those types aren’t known for generating offense. They are known for taking advantage of advantageous offensive situations usually caused by other offensive stars/engines. They’re also known for being...

I don’t value SL as much as you do in this regard. For starters, these teams are hacked together a lot of the time and they have very little time to practice, get familiar with each other, etc. The other component is that teams sometimes use SL to experiment (e.g., putting Carter at PG, playing...

As for Carter, I was hesitant about his abilities to be a PG on offense coming out of college. I think he had the potential to be a focal point on offense and have the ball in his hands due to his combination of length, strength, athleticism, ability to draw fouls, and PnR game, but I also...

Any player can have a good game or a bad game. What’s most important is consistency and if you can string together good performances or if you can only flash a good performance here and there. I’d rather our rookies have a good 1st game than not. Don’t get me wrong, but we need to see a body...

Has Scott Perry been throwing some back in Vegas?

I came up with a trade idea that may sting a bit (Ellis)... ------------------------------ DAL Gets: DeMar DeRozan DAL Gives: Caleb Martin, Naji Marshall, Dwight Powell, & Olivier Maxence-Prosper Why for DAL? The Mavs add a super 6th man in DeRozan who would bring some much needed scoring &...

Agreed. Big Jay Huff fan. I was hoping we’d be able to steal him after we traded Valanciunas but Eubanks it is…

Of course. It could simply be a value grab on their side, but it also takes them above the 1st apron. Team have been really hesitant to dip into that level. And considering the hesitancy we see, it would be even more peculiar for a team to do that while intentionally creating a big jog jam at...

I mean Butler played 56% of his minutes at SF with the Warriors last year so I was even being more generous yet the minutes still don’t work out. Oh I’d definitely rely on Horford for 26-28 mpg. Still a very solid, impactful C in this league. And his combination of defense, shooting, and...

That doesn’t seem like a recipe for success. To put it in perspective, Butler’s length measurements are about the same as Keon Ellis. Sure, he’s considerably stronger than Ellis, but he’s also not much athletically at this point (will be 36 at the start of next season). That’s a serious size...

They have Butler at the 3 now and he’s a high minute player. I don’t see how they could make the minutes work unless they’re committing to playing Butler at PF for a good chunk of his minutes which seems…unlikely.

That seems…unlikely. That deal takes them above the 1st apron and leaves them with a very crowded backcourt… PG - Curry / Podz / Monk SG - Moody / Hield / Carter And I would have thought that the Warriors would be looking to bring back Payton on a cheap deal as well which only makes that...
