Slacking here. Missed Summer League Game 3. Sorry folks. But I can give you the word on the end result. Hornets won. Not that that matters. What is important is that Ju-Ju and Hilton continued to look good. The biggest disappointment, though, has to be Adam Haluska, who again had a miserable shooting game; get you confidence back, son, because you know you can play. Our other starters, Bowman and Brown, continued to look good, with Brown looking more and more like a possible backup PG, and 6′9″ Bowman putting up his own 12 points on 3-6 shooting from the field and 5-6 from the line. Over at TrueHoop, Henry Abbott named Ju-Ju the best defender of the Vegas League and Brown the best surprise. The next game is on the 17th, at 5PM CST.
In the real NBA, Marcus Camby got traded by the Nuggets to the Clippers for, drum roll please, cap space. The Cavs gave Daniel Gibson a 5-year deal to keep him. The Knicks signed another guard, Anthony Roberson, to a 2-year deal. The Magic signed backup PG Anthony Johnson.
UPDATE: Bucks get Tyronne Lue and Malik Allen. T-Wolves re-signed Craig Smith. Also, Clips signed Kelenna Azubuike to a 3-year $9 mil offer sheet (Golden State still has the chance to match). Elsewhere, Darius Miles, out 2-years with an unprecedented “career-ending” medical designation, is trying out with several teams, in attempting a comeback. In Utah, the Jazz allegedly gave D-Will $2 mil more than CP got on his 4-year deal…suckers.
According to Boston.com: “New Orleans Hornets should know that in James Posey they are getting a pure mercenary, totally devoid of sentiment according to Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan.” This, after the guy helped bring them a ring? Wasn’t the whole city cheering him a few weeks back? That’s gratitude for you. A.K.A. the city that caused the scar across my eyebrow. Fuck Boston. Enjoy your one and done like the Heat had a few years back. We have a stacked line-up for the next 4 years.
I just can’t see Brown making the team unless Pargo leaves.
We can’t carry 4 PG’s.
Roberson is interesting. D’Antoni mustve seen something he liked. I remember him from his college days. I didn’t see that news anywhere else either. Good job lol.
Okay so please can we trade mike james for something, how about money, then put that money in pargos pocket, then buy brown a bus ticket, and teach haluska how to hitchhike, he’ll never make it in the nba because his percentage is terrible even in the summer league. Pargo struggled against the spurs but was amazing vs the mavs and has a lot of talent so we have got to keep him, but we do need to unload some of this excess we carry, preferably three men, james/butler/whomever puts in the least effort ely or armstrong. Byron Scott believes in armstrong so who knows…..but we need to have every dime available for the ones who are actually playing the game.
P.S. Fannation.com lists Mike James as #10 on the worst contracts list. I like MJ, but the fact that he is getting a mil more than CP is crazy. As a back-up. Oof.
