If you're hoping for them to gel within a few weeks, I think you're in for a long, shortened season. Better pace yourself.

Which is precisely why one would hope that the team step up and get together as early as possible. I'm kind of in Serpico's corner on this one but am not as upset.

Even if he did call, then shame on Harris' supporting cast. They need to be here imo. That is, unless they want to be just another run of the mill team. And just because these players aren't in town doesn't mean they likely couldn't have been. They knew about this for a week or so now and could've shelled out their own money for a plane ticket to SLC to ensure the team maximized their training camp time to gel, not remain on their own "working out at other places" as you state. And charities? Really? Puh-lease.

I'm probably in the minority here but sorry, I want a ring so to speak. I'd hope they would too.

I feel exactly the same way, I would have liked to hear that the whole team was lined up outside at 5 AM waiting for someone to unlock the doors and let them in. I know that's what I would do if I was in their place, maybe I'm just old fashioned. *shrug*

It's entirely possible the players got word from the FO that trades are possible and that they'd prefer they DIDN'T run any full-contact scrimmages until camp opens.

I'd suggest you drink some kava tea and take an Ambien.
 
LOL; what other NBA facility would Ronnie Price go to for a workout? I'd be VERY surprised if he returns assuming Burks stays healthy and shows ANYTHING good in camp...
 
Love how fans think these players should have no obligations other than basketball. Can't spend time with family or even their charities. Some of you guys need to seriously wake up realize this is not that big of a deal and a lot of teams like the Mavs for example didn't do anything crazy before preseason.

lol... they both sucked, I can't remember which Boler called that.

It was Palacio. I only remember because someone (who posted on realgm at the time but could very well post here too, maybe it was Prodigy) made a Milt Palacio mix tape and the first thing on it was some doufus holding up a Captain Crunch cereal box on a stick.

Except they'd already proven something by winning it all and have a well-seasoned team who's been playing together for years in place. Not even close to the same.

People still ragged on them hard for not meeting up in the off-season as early as possible. Yes, I understand we are not as good as the Packers, but instead of a period of not meeting for months (like the Packers did) we aren't meeting for a couple of days. The ratio of skill to days waited before meeting balances out.
