WEBVTT - Initial Summer League Reaction 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.520 On this episode of This League, we're talking about Summer League. 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:08.880 It's basically the only thing popping right now. Free agency 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:12.360 has come to a close. Dennis Shruder has finally been 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.640 signed for absolutely no money five point nine million dollars, 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.000 like less than the Celtics. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:19.640 Even had to spend. 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.919 They could have spent nine points something and they were like, no, 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.720 we don't think so. So shout out to the Celtics 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.040 for making the one great move in the last like 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.440 five years, like a great great move for Brad Stevens 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.599 as a gm uh Klay Thompson is also giving us 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.200 in incredible boat content happening right now. 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.599 But really the main course is summer leak. 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.760 Let's get into some of our first impressions into what 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.800 is happening in Vegas. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:48.600 Let's drop the beat. 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:51.920 Take care. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.360 You'll be waiting for Area's plan of a goal stop. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:04.840 Got the quannine go, Let me go the gaody. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:12.000 Okay, So if you bet summer league games, are you 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:18.000 a passionate or a degenerate gambler? 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:19.520 Depends on how you look at it. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.920 I saw Summer League lines and I was like, yes, 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.280 I don't know why, I don't know how, but I 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.840 saw them, and I loved them. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:29.759 Uh And I don't know. 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.760 If you know this about me, but if I had 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:37.039 to choose one sports event to attend, like doesn't matter, 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.679 could be World Series, could be super Bowl, Olympics, you 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.800 know whatever, Like Summer League is the event I choose. Really, 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.600 that's the event I choose. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.280 I want to go really bad that. I don't know 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.240 if I can put it over those. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:50.960 That's interesting, I'm telling you. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.520 So the reason that I think it's so good all 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.760 the other events that you go to, for example, why 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.080 does super Bowl suck to cover? Why does it suck 0:01:59.120 --> 0:01:59.880 to go as a fan? 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:00.520 One? 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.880 It's usually pretty damn cold. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.840 It's not always it's not always in a warm place. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.079 For example, Minneapolis hosted the super Bowl a few years ago, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.920 and I'm telling you it was brutal. Yeah, NFL arenas 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.560 are terrible. You're never gonna get close. Even when you're media, 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.640 you don't have a place really to sit. Like covering 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.360 the you're covering two football teams sucks, like it's just 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.280 it's not it like doesn't really matter. You can't really 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.320 get that personal. No one really even tells you anything. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.040 Of note, everything that needs to be said has probably 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.800 been said. Obviously, the week lead up is great, but 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.640 the event itself is trash, like the super Bowl, the 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:46.320 Super Bowl halftime show in person, fucking trash, trash, awful. 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.680 NBA Finals it's fine, like it's good, it's up there 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.680 for sure. Olympics terrible, like it's terrible because you never 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.840 get great seats, like it's a lot of times, teams 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.400 and people you have no idea who they are. It's 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:01.880 just like a moment in time. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.320 I went to multiple Olympic events. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.000 Can't even remember which events they were. That's how not 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.200 memorable it was. Let's look at some other words. World 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:15.560 Series cool, like baseball park's great, they're really serious about 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.880 the national anthem, Like people frozen time at the World 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.120 Series for baseball. I didn't know how serious the national 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.760 anthem was at And I don't really like the food 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.200 at baseball parks. Like they're okay, Like it's it's just 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.880 a thing. It's just a long process, a lot of travel. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.360 Summer League though, Baby, you are locked into one place, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.960 no movement, and it's it's two weeks long, ten days, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.240 and all of the gms, all of the head coaches, 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:51.880 all NBA stars are there like they are there as fans, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.360 like they are there. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.720 Amongst the people. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.440 You can walk up to Eric Spolstra and just be like, hey, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:58.800 what's up. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.160 I'm Trista, Like how are you, and then you can 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:01.920 just strike up. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:06.560 I mean, the level of access is unmatched. Like I 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.800 sat next to Jerry west at Summer League and had 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.640 a full conversation with him, and like we became cool 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:17.400 after that. Like I like hung out with like Danny 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.720 Ainge and we talked about golf in Oregon since he's 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.359 got Oregon connections. Like the level of players to gms, 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.560 you can ask. I remember I was sitting next to 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:32.440 one of the assistant coaches of the Houston Rockets when 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.000 the Russell Westbrook to Houston trade went down, Like at 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.960 that moment, I'm like literally saw it on my phone 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.680 and I'm looking at him and he's looking at me, 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.960 and I'm like, so, what do you think about this trade? 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.760 And he's like very shaky on it. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.279 You know, you didn't want to And Warren Legarry, who's 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.640 the head of the Summer League, is the guy that 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.120 is the main agent for all of the gms and 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.480 coaches in the NBA. So he's walking around glad handing 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.840 he's talking to everybody who's like in that inner circle 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.640 of media and like press and players and all that stuff. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.120 And he comes around and he's like, yep, he tells me, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.320 Trista D'antoni's fucking gone after this year. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:11.400 No way, he stays. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.360 He's like, not enough balls to go around, Like this 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.520 is never gonna work.

Yeah, but I love 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.000 what Houston has done. I know they're not going to 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.240 be good, but they are gonna be a We'll say this. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:37.959 They are contending for the title of NBA League Past. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.160 Team of the Year, their league Past team. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.440 League Past Team of the Year, and the Hornets obviously 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:42.800 as well. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.960 So I'm excited for the Cavs too. I know you 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.640 probably won't agree with me, but I just yeah, no, 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:48.600 I'm excited to see. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.680 My He just has not looked good. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.640 I'm just I'm excited to see what he does. 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.480 He just does not look good. I just do not. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.880 I just do not like. I just I am out 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.920 on him. Maybe it's just a personal thing. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.720 I'm out on Cade still, like not completely out obviously, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.560 but like, let's temper our. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.199 Expectations of CAID. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:07.640 Let's temper them fair. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.200 A lot of turnovers for CAID, A lot of turnovers 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.040 let's go with who are your teams and players that 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.000 you like seeing so far? 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.800 Uh? 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.640 I thought Trey Murphy looked really really good. I mean 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.560 it is and skills that translated. I mean, if you 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.560 can shoot, you can shoot. And he made what he 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.760 made six threes in the ASCAM. I think there's a 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.040 decent chance he starts for the Pelicans. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.640 Desmond Bane six three pointers made. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.880 I think Memphis looks good, Pelicans look good, Detroit looks interesting. 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.160 Luca Garza, fam fam fam. I am a Luca Garza. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.760 I am going to build a Luca Garza stand account 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:50.079 just because I feel he's being disrespected. I just feel 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.240 that the world, maybe the world is hating on him unnecessarily. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.840 Like NCAA Player of the Year, fifty second overall draft pick. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.000 The expectations are not high, but everybody's like he's gonna 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.520 be garbage. He's gonna be trash. He's not even gonna 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:06.719 be in the league. He's going to be in the 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.320 j League. And maybe that's true, but listen, he's playing 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.320 well in the Summer League. Seventy percent from the four, 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.880 fifty percent from three. He's big, he is a Matt monster, 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.920 and look listen, he looks like he's having fun out there. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.800 You know, that's what you want to see in Summer League. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.720 You are out on Luca Garza. I mean you were 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:25.360 out on him. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.680 I just, I just I've seen so many guys play 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.760 well in the Summer League and did never translate the 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.600 Summer League is basically it's super fun. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:32.679 It's like a little. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.960 Better competition that he's been playing and like just worse coaching, 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.160 and like guys that are like fundamental like that they 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.040 can take advantage of it. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:39.640 That's true. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.480 That's true. He is a big fundamental. He's a big fundamental. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:44.480 Who else did I like? 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.640 You know, I think Memphis as a as a team, 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.000 they're obviously they're obviously, you know, one of those teams 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.640 that is going to be favored to win every single 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.760 game in the Summer League because they have NBA players 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.280 that are playing in it. But Desmond Bain is going 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.040 to take another step. He is killing is a He's 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.120 a real player. He had six threes, made thirty two 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.720 points twenty four in the other game with jaw and 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.400 Dylan Brooks and Xavier Tillman and now this guy Killian Tilly, 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.720 two guys from Gonzaga that are blowing up the summer league. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.439 He's got like he's shooting. I think he had six 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.520 three pointers as well. Dasmond Bane and Killian Tilly. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:27.880 Dude between two guys twelve threes, twelve threes, Zion Williams 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.439 killing super efficient. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.840 I don't know. I kind of like what they're doing 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:34.640 over there in Memphis. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:35.360 Yeah, I like it. 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.960 I kind of like it. How do you feel about 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:37.960 Jonathan Kaminga? 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.079 Uh? 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.480 What are you seeing from him? 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:42.520 About what I expected? 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.240 Like he is gonna have spots where he looks really good, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.040 and he's gonna have spots where he looks really bad, 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:54.160 and like in amongst summer league competition, I don't know. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.439 Against summer league competition, that's the key piece. No, for sure, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.480 this is going to be a slog. This is more 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.920 of the same from me, more of the same bullshit 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.880 that the Warriors are trying to tell us that they're 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.320 still contenders, and they are not because Kaminga is not 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.120 going to come in and do much. And you know, 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:15.319 as bad or as inconsistent and spotty as Kaminga looks, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:21.160 I have to say, Moses Moody looks even worse. Twenty 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.120 five percent from the field, boy, that's not what you 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.240 want in Summer League play. Not what you want. Jalen 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.800 sucks better than advertised. Just I mean, all I needed 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.400 to see was that put back dunk.
