Isn't Vegas SL usually shown on NBA TV?

If it is, it'll beat the SNOT out of watching it on that jumpy webcam from Orlando!!

Ha, that's true. I'll miss those guys too.

And yes slam, I'm pretty sure they show the vegas games on NBA TV.

At least now I can record the games and watch them when I get home instead of having to find some excuse to stay in my office so I can get the feed.

if we even add dudley and ammo that would be a team to beat in summer league (dj - kyle - jared,adam - alexis/jermareo - random big man or hollins).

I guess we bring a lot of guards (we worked out many) and some forwrds, pfs to compete to impress us enough to get hollins' spot.

not sure if we want to add another guard after we had drafted Weaver. Assuming Raymond won't be traded.

I think I read somewhere that Hollins will be on the summerleague team as well. In my opinion he really needs to show improvement because we only have one roster spot up for grabs.

We know that fat boy and the skank wont be there.

Although if fat boy finds out it's in Vegas, maybe he will want to play after all?

Is Ajinca going to be signed in time? It sounded like that could be a long process. If Ajinca is signed, I think Hollins is probably gone.

I thought I read somewhere that we picked up the option on Davidson's contract.

Geezy- I think Ajinca has a small buyout. From what I inferred from the Bobcat post rd 1 pre pick 38 video I think it's going to be no problem getting him over.
Ham- I've read that too.

Hopefully Ammo and McMay won't play in some meaningless games in the Summer League. Why risk two guys coming off major surgeries in games that have no impact on the actual NBA season.

I can't see how we could be able to risk anything in May.

U have a point there, May prolly should be thrown out there if he gets injured again, then that answers one question mark going into next season.
