NBA Summer League (Vegas) Thread (2024)

Post: #1

Needed to start this thread; because that first game of Vegas was legit. We set a record for most forced turnovers.

Game 2 just started 18 minutes ago and the Grizz are en fuego on defense, yet again. Man oh man, we're killing the Mavericks right now.

Pippen Jr. has like 3 or 4 steals himself. He's been looking real good.

Pippen is high value. Also like Trey Jimison but we have 3-4 deep ahead of him. GG showing some flashes, another great value.

Time to move on from some of our front office projects.

ZWilliams and Larevia possibly on the trading block, maybe Kinnard depending upon the return.

Cam Spencer is money.

Agree on all counts , except I dont think they can trade Kinnard after not renewing his contract. (not sure but it makes sense)
Laravia has been on the trade block for a year, he had NO VALUE until late last year when the Grizzlies started showcasing him-- maybe someone will bite on him now?

I have no idea how Zwilliams fits in anyone's plans-- he looked like a servicable rookie , got hurt and has been shaky since his return from injury.

Kennard is a Free Agent, so he can sign with anyone if he wishes .... I'm guessing he's waiting for the Grizzlies other roster moves to shake out (trading one of the other mentioned wings) ...

I think the Grizz want to stay at 14 regular contracts for the start of the season for flexibility .... Moves like converting the 2-way to regular contracts won't likely happen until the trade deadline barring catastrophic injury ...

and I do think they are rethinking the rush to put wells on a standard contract at this point, but they thought someone would have been gone by n ow ...

Too many missed free throws down the stretch. Grizz should have won the Summer League Championship.

Josh Christopher is really clutch.
