SA
Portland
Dallas
Seattle
76ers
Hawks

seem to make it every year. Other than that I am not sure. It also seems to run late July or August.

Portland did the Las Vegas thing last year. I'm just praying that Chicago does it this year. They did it last year and the year before I believe. Man, there's just nothing like seeing future NBA stars from the tenth row of a high school sized gym.

I live in Orlando now so I am going to try to see the Orlando summer league which is also growing. Wish the Jazz would come down but that would pretty much doom the RMR.

I heard a couple more dropped for this year. Last I heard it was looking like about 4 teams, and the jazz are still not going to vegas.

Yeah, this might be the last year for the RMR.

It's kind of amazing it lasted this long honestly, Utah has nothing to offer these teams really, playing at the SLCC gym while good for Jazz fans, pretty much screwers over the rest of the NBA, and it's not even in down town Salt Lake, it's in West Valley.

I'd go to Vegas if I were the other teams.

I am pretty sure that the league requires a bare minimum of 6 teams and max it out as well.

If you are a player, you would rather go to Vegas. If you are an owner/coach, you would rather go to Utah.

and if you're serious about becoming a better athlete, you work out and train in high elevations. salt lake is not the highest, but it certainly is higher than vegas or orlando.

If were a billionaire owner would you rather spend your time in Taylorsville or in vegas........hmmmmm Motel 6 or the Bellagio. It does suck for the fans in Utah though, but its just summer league, be happy you guys have an NBA team *cough*.......*Seattle*.

Well if he was trying to disparage the location of the Campus then at least get the correct city.

I don't know of very many billionaire owners that attend the entire summer league. If they are in fact that crazy about vegas and can find the time to take two weeks away from their work, I am sure that they can take a trip to vegas on their own and don't need to use their teams summer league as an excuse.
