Caron Butler wants to come back again for some reason. I know he probably still wants a paycheck but this summer I'm sure some contending team would have been content paying him the same amount to sit on their bench

I kinda-sorta-not-really want to start a NBA goon Summer League meetup but that would just be incredibly awkward, icky, and probably wouldn't happen even if I gave my best efforts to organize one.

I'll be there for the first two days but with a group of friends who don't understand online forums but be on the lookout for a goofy looking guy throwing some weak rear end trash talk at the players

In regards to Valentine, if you say "he wasn't athletic anyway", consider Miami Heat Mike Bibby. You can't take someone who isn't very athletic, make them worse, and not have it be a disaster

Ah dammit, Summer League doesn't fall around my vacation this year. Seems like they're having it a few days earlier than usual but maybe that's because July starts on a Friday this year.

Summer League so far has always been the first weekend after the 4th of July. I pretty much blindly book my flight and hotels early in the year because they don't release the dates until something stupid like the beginning of June

He's actually a pretty good fit for what they need, assuming they didn't give up too much.

I assume it's your first round pick which makes it a decent deal. Solid veteran PG who can play off the ball a bit while Hayward does his thing and doesn't directly threaten Dante Exum

Maybe they even tossed in Trey Burke! Bud loves taking on reclamation projects

MourningView posted:

I don't love anyone in the back part of the lottery and he gives some desperately needed stability to a position where they haven't had any since Deron left while also not significantly harming Exum's long term development.

If they also trick someone into taking Burke then it is the deal of the century

You were hoping that Utah takes Wade Baldwin so this is a clear upgrade.

Do we pencil Skal or Deyonta in for Atlanta now?

I would like to know who's the draft person in Atlanta, just considering they traded the 18th pick in a good draft for Tim hardaway who proceeded to never play basically.

How that deal turned from ":lol: the best team in the league might get a #1 overall pick" to "Tim Hardaway Jr. :smith:" will always be funny to me

Yeah, assuming he hits anywhere near his career averages and last year wasn't a bellwether I'm ok with it. Probably better than anyone they were going to grab at 22, in any case.

I guess this means they're saying goodbye to Courtney Lee, though.

If you can get Valentine at #22 then it's pretty bad. Both are poo poo defenders but one is on a rookie deal

He shot above 40% from 3 all of twice in his career. He's a good 3pt shooter but he's not lights out and if you don't reign him in he will take a LOT of dumb shots. Close out hard on him and watch him do dumb things off the dribble
