Summer League Thread

Evidently those reports were bunk. I think the price was 9 and 16 and they said "no." I feel like they has 5-10 or so on a similar tier and had gamed it out far enough to think George would fall to them. They were very very pleased with themselves about George even before he blew up at summer league.
Link?
 
Brother you have slobbered on my nuts about how good I am at this ****. Just because I dont respect your xenpobic takes now you want to square up on some dumb **** lmfao.


And I must be alright cuz Danny agreed with me on this one:


Take a timeout. I said to trade for Clarkson and you ripped the idea. Your takes stink, Gumby.
 
What's your opinion of Aleksandar Vezenkov's chances with the Kings?
he will be good. having said that one caveat that elizah mentioned and i agree with was that he qualified it with "at a really young age" - that doesn't necessarily apply to vezenkov. he'll be good because he's legitimately good.

By the way, when Dean says "French guys are overrated" he literally means people who are French and not just players who played in the French League. He also means that they get overrated specifically because they are French. This is what kicked off this conversation. If you want to be on that side of the fence, go for it I guess.

He is the man who mathematically solved dating, so he is to be trusted.

I don’t think anyone is on that side of the fence and once again for the 10th time I posted that as a joke towards Cy.

I mean... he was beating contesting Peja Stojakovic scoring records in Greece at age 18-19...

He didn’t come over at that age and develop in the league though. Teodosic was awesome overseas and came over when he was 30 and didn’t stick.

I recommended this trade a couple months ago but then looked up Clarkson’s stats. They’re bad. That said, maybe he’s just never had a good coach and Quin can get a little more out of him.

How does this affect our ability to use the full MLE this summer?
This is the oldest result that comes up when I searched your user name and "Clarkson Trade"

Looks like we had the exact same take about the trade from a quick search. So nice receipts.
 
I already did a deep dive analysis of international players in the draft thread. Something like 1 out of 20 total drafted outside the top-6 in the last 6 drafts exceeded their draft position. Not great.
 
Just their behavior. I assume that they absolutely would have traded a future first to move up. Since they didn't that offer was likely rejected. There was a LOT of noise about teams wanting to trade down. That leaves the 9 and 16, which I would have demanded. as another team.

like i said, he's just really good at basketball. that's why he'll stick. it's like Manu - he didn't come over until age 25 and we all know what he became. he was just damn good at basketball. vezenkov is too (not saying vezenkov will be manu)

Ryan said Bilal was 8th on the Jazz’s board, if we traded up it would have been for Black or Walker.

At age 18 he was in the HEBA 1 league putting up 4 points per game.

Yeah... I don't know he will be able to hold defensively.... offensively he seems like a perfect match for the current Kings team. If he's defensively good enough to play, he will have impact offensively IMO. If not he might be like... Simone Fontechio type...

No one was able to trade up into the top 8 for anyone so we have no idea what the price was.
