Summer League 2018
Re: Summer League 2018
Chandler already doesn't play for half the games as it is. As in 0 minutes. Remember that Len will be leaving. There will be minutes for Williams.

We have to think of Chandler the way we think of Dudley, as a bench veteran guy who mostly just mentors younger players and plays occasional spot minutes. Chandler should not be thought of as our backup C. By that logic we have only one rotation center (Ayton) and need an actual backup for him to be our bench center. Williams is that guy.TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 12:17 pmI can't see Chandler moving, so I see no role for him.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.
Re: Summer League 2018
It depends on Chandler. I'm fine with him as our primary backup if he's got a good attitude about it. If he wants to start and/or play for a contender, accommodate him. I don't think Williams is a primary backup necessarily but I do like what he brings on and off the court.

Re: Summer League 2018
Yeah that bargain we signed a couple of years ago for $30 Mil was recommended as a great deal by almost everyone on this site, not me. Now we have to go out and spend more money and possibly give up draft choices for a job that he could do.
What a freaking great deal that was. Wait, he certainly improved our tank and we got Ayton. Maybe he was worth it after all.
I am with Split T on this one. Get your ass in shape and contribute something, will you.
I wanted Monty as our coach since D'Antoni left town. Nice choice James Jones.

Re: Summer League 2018
Probably not to play zero games. But I can totally see resting entire games. He has played 47 and 46 games the last two seasons. And his game was terrible a lot of the times. Tyson Chandler is not a factor anymore (and hasn't been for a healthy two seasons).TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 1:23 pmNo way they pay Chandler 14m or whatever not to play.

Re: Summer League 2018
Amazing to think we pretty much signed him for the sheer purpose of trying to lure LaMarcus Aldridge over here. And even had we signed LMA, it just wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Our first SL game is against Dallas but unfortunately, Doncic won't be playing in the SL.

Summer League always scares me...especially now that we have the number one pick. To me success = not getting injured.

Re: Summer League 2018
Welcome, Jeremy! Yes, if we can get out of SL without injury, especially Ayton, that would be considered a success.

I am going to be at Summer League from the 6th - 8th so I will report on how everyone looks in person!

Re: Summer League 2018
I don't see that as much of a loss. Ristic had 0.00000000% chance of making the Suns roster, not even the NAZ Suns. He should probably go somewhere he has a real chance to stick.

I never thought there were so many brothers around the NBA.
Re: Summer League 2018
The one brother we should have probably drafted, Giannis's brother, is the one we don't pick.
