NBA 2017 Summer League Thread

But who has Miami signed? They haven't even resigned Johnson and waiters to bring back last years team that didn't make the playoffs in a shytty eastern conference...

Celtics have youth aside from two players, more picks (you still got picks going to Phoenix in the Dragic trade)

Going to the eastern conference finals is better than not making the playoffs moron

All these picks and youth for how many years now - and who's really been developed through it?

There isn't a single guy under Stevens who's even turned out to be better than Julius Randle. All those youth and picks have done is fill up the bench with role players at best. Heat have found better talent through the d-league and cast-off trades than Boston has in all of its recent lottery picks.

And why even brag about going to the ECF when you barely beat two trash squads to get there then got grinded into the dirt at least the Heat have the excuse of saying that their best player had his career ended on some fluke shyt.

Boston has everything going right and they still can't get shyt done. Trash FO.

It only takes one game like this to show greatness.

Jayson Tatum is GREATNESS.

I even underestimated his NBA potential by comparing him to the likes of Grant Hill and Paul George.

Tatum is more in the mold of his hero Kobe Bryant. He'll challenge Andrew Wiggins for the title of best swingman of the future now. I thought before the draft he would at best be second to Wiggins. Now I think he has a good chance of surpassing Wiggins.

Jayson Tatum just might make me into a Celtics fan. And the thought of aligning with that racist fanbase absolutely disgusts me.

Grant hill was a better player than Paul George and in the same level as Kobe before the ankle injury ...how dare you

What has Julius Randle done?

Smart single handidly won a game against Cleveland in the ECF

And you clearly didn't watch summer league cause Tatum and brown (also in important playoff minutes) are better than any young talent on the Heat

Play better than Marcus Smart. Julius Randle is way better. He can actually score the basketball. Something that is foreign to Marcus Smart.

You're right. I apologize. Grant Hill without any injuries is a top 10-15 player all-time.

Yet the lakers don't wanna keep him? Hmmm

Smart made 7 threes in that game. He's a 29% career 3 point shooter. Let's just say that game was a fluke, no?

Lakers are idiots. They drafted scrubs 2nd overall for 2 consecutive years in 2015 and 2016. Philly's stupidity in taking Fultz first overall saved them this year.

Randle is the second best player on the Lakers right now after Lonzo Ball.

That's not saying much, lakers roster is garbage right now

Response to bold:

Ainge did a total rebuild in 4 years years through trades and the draft to become the 2nd best team in the East. I don't know what you're talking about.

People are stupid. We have more youth than pretty much any team in the league, we are coming off a #1 seed and conference finals, max cap space, and 8 first round picks in the next 3 years... unless you're golden state fans, you cant say shyt cause we are setup better than every other team

Yeah unfortunately you guys are set up well and I say this as a Wiz fan. People want you to trade for known guys but the unknown talents in jaylen and Tatum has more value than a Butler who personally I feel doesn't move the needle. I watched my squad shyt on them in the playoffs and I'm not sold. Hayward maybe but does he get you past LeBron. Your GM doing the right thing. They are better than last year plus added another asset so the next year again they'll be better
