I actually love summer league. In a way not dissimilar to how I love the Olympics. I don't watch it like I watch most sports it's more of a spectacle or an event of sorts almost like reality TV. Also there's nothing else on in the summer so what else are you going to do?
Also, this should go without saying, but they wouldn't be expanding at it if people weren't watching.

any sense that basketball in vegas is coming and they are just expanding their foot print? vegas hockey has been successful.
I'm not sure, although it would almost certainly be a great NBA city (move the Thunder there, no more bull about free agents not wanting to go there).
RE: Summers league, one thing I was thinking is that this is sort of a byproduct of this era for the league. So many teams are on the tanking treadmill and especially with the Warriors dominance where the season is over before it has began, Summer league is a chance for people to watch their team and just be free of that for a bit. Also, with so much attention to tanking comes the attendant interest in the players you tanked for, and people always want to see those guys. I can't wait to see Luka for instance.
