So he plans on getting "injured" four times a year, then?

this accusation is ridiculous.

Lmao this dude can't be serious with this "injury" all of a sudden. It's like a game of hide and seek and Ball will forever be hiding from Fox.

Yeah, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that he has an "injury" right before he has to go up against Fox. We weren't born yesterday.

Vince also said that Kobe's 81-point game and overall style of play was hurting the sport and sending the wrong message to kids. And Pippen? He said LeBron was better than MJ before LeBron had won any rings yet. Something tells me you didn't value their opinions back then.

I guess guys that actually played in the NBA, played with Jordan and against Jordan are crazy to you. Considering their experience over yours...you sure...you are not the one that is crazy?

Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, Kevin McHale, Elgin Baylor, and Doc Rivers are all former NBA players. By your logic, they should be the best judges of talent. Instead, they have all been total disasters as general managers in this league. Meanwhile, guys like R.C. Buford, Sam Presti, and Daryl Morey have been more successful despite never playing in the NBA. Playing the sport at a high level doesn't automatically mean you're good at analyzing it objectively, and you don't need to have played basketball at a high level to be able to analyze it.


Pop has done it, but I guess you are a better analyst than him...oh boy :noway:

Damn no Ball tonight? Groin Injury? Well makes sense, we sat Ingram because of a cramp :o

But seriously this FO can't be overly cautious. What next, take Kuzma out for a hang nail?

It may look worse for him to not play against Fox, than if he played against him and was severely outplayed. The narrative of him being Afraid of the Fox is more entertaining.

but if he is sore, than a summer league game is not worth aggravating something, but I know if it was me, you would have a hard time keeping me off the court when everyone is talking **** about me being scared.

Looks like Kuzma is out too. Magic is being extra cautious. Sucks for us fans.

I hate when rookies sit out summer league games. Disgraceful. Typical Los Angeles "I'll play when I want" attitude. You don't see guys raised in blue collar cities doing this ****.

Can't believe John Collins fell to 19th in the draft. Hawks have a solid young core to start the rebuild.

This is getting out of control already and it's only SL. Still hilarious that Ball is dodging Fox though, can't wait for the schedule to come out and will be circling Lakers V Kings

the guy passed the eye test for me in college. the guy has a scary demeanor, not overly emotional but u know he's gonna beast on people. so efficient offensively. only concern i had with him was his build, the guy looked like he has a short wingspan, and just weak looking arms...but he overcomes this with his athleticism.

i'll be following him this season for sure

Isn't Fultz also sitting out of Summer league because of a minor injury?

The only reason people care about this is because everyone here is obsessed with Lonzo and the Lakers

Except Fultz was seen being injured during the game. Ball just doesn't want to be embarrassed by Fox again so soon
