That determination in his eyes. I believe him.

The energy and strength both Larsson and KJ play him is going to be such a huge boost to this squad that i thought became way too soft the last few years.

Im kind of in awe of our offseason.

We had nothing. Noth. Ing.

Then we get a windfall in the draft pool. These guys r legit good. Not some **** were all too familiar with. These guys have roles.

Our scout is legit and maybe the only bright side in the org. I've said this in the off season thread, but we have one of the best upside in the EAST. Magic upside is nuts too.

Im ready to cut bait. I love all our guys. Always will. I FEEL something with this group though. The energy is elite.

Pelle dudes. I love that relentlessness. Its not just dumb aggression either. Hes processing.

WTH.. I was today years old when I found out we gave Dru bleeping Smith a 2 year deal. If he were on this summer league roster, he wouldn't even touch the floor. Isiah Stevens is the dude we should be grooming at pg.

Proud of this group of young guys. Hopefully they all build off of this experience and that momentum carries over to camp

He signed a two-way deal. Can be replaced at any time by any of these Summer League players.

I think we should keep J. Christopher, Keshad, and Alondes

Alondes finished strong , while Stevens did not. Sometimes, thats all it takes.

Christopher. Make believe we selected him 24th in the 2021 draft and he’s finally coming along. Only 22 years old.

Forgot Chris, his play making is also elite. Hope he gets that 2-way

We would be stupid not to give him a spot in the roster.. stevens needs to be signed as well..

Im letting go of several players.. dru smith, kevin love, thomas bryant are all on the chopping block.

I get some say its just summer league.. we need to hold onto our young talent and give them a real shot.

Vertical Limit · Post #1093 » by **Vertical Limit** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 4:15 am

We arent winning or losing more games with or without kevin, thomas or dru.. thats just facts… developing young talent that we have into real nba players or more, potentially star level, is just smarter and benefits us more. We lack draft picks.. these players outperformed many of the lottery picks.. cant let them go.

Good bye dru thomas and kevin.

They need to lock down this youth movement....not all of them will stick, but...come on....they showed enough to at least spend the next season weeding out the guys that are not ready or can't carry on to the NBA.

We dodged a bullet on Caleb, and I love the dude too....but we need roster spots. If they could package off some salary, even with out a "good trade" at least getting one or two more of this crew on the roster would at least be a partial consolation prize.

Feel like a fool doubting the Larsson pick now. I really like his game. He’s gonna fit nice with Jaime too.

Ware shut me up real quick too :laugh:

it is kinda crazy how they keep doing this....

I am pretty pro Dru, and Dru looked usable at the start of last season, these dudes make Dru look highly expendable....

They really need to find a way to dump salary get some roster spots and give this crop a chance to stick around on the roster

Shad', Christopher. and Williams ideally. But at least one or two of these guys might get a better deal from other teams-- I'm proud of them all

He's got tools for sure. Can't wait to see how he adapts to the big leagues.
