I hate the camera angle at Orlando summer league. If you're going to televise this every year and you're selling ads why not invest in something where you can broadcast a decent viewing experience?

Don't really disagree, but I wouldn't have thought George was an option earlier this week either.

Also quit cutting away from the play to show svg. And the announcers obviously don't actually know anything about who is playing unless they were just drafted.

trading oladipo or adams was kicked around a bit in various places but yeah not for the kind of return we got. this trade could equally be viewed as a salary dump as a trade for paul george imo.

i'm sure there are ways we could be surprised. dumping kanter would help tremendously.

Have you been watching the SL game? Anything that means semaj is closer to being the backup is terrible news.

Worse Christon has been one of our better players in this awful game.

Eh, he's been terrible as a point guard. Hasn't hit the roll man yet, and only pitched it out to the three point line a handful of times. He's obviously a scoring guard who can't shoot, get to the basket, or finish.

Vince hunter doesn't look like he has a shot at ever being in the NBA and he has been our best player without any question.

This wasn't meant as an endorsement of Christon so much as a non endorsement of everyone else.

Can we pull the plug on the Josh experiment already? Dude just looks worthless even in this environment against a bunch of d-leaguers and Euroleague scrubs.

Vince looks good man. Only 22. 3 years under his belt as a pro in russia. Spent a little time in the d league. I would not be surprised if he got at least a partial guarantee. Huestis looks like doo doo. He might be done here. Semaj impressed me with some nifty passes. His distributing really improved as the season went on last year. Dakari can play. He could step in to any nba franchise and be a good third string C. Hamilton could be something in the future still but probably not this year. His play style doesn't really fit what we do and he's still unpolished.

What's a realistic trade for Barton?
