BGleas Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Yikes! Jake LaRavia is averaging just 2.5ppg in 24.4mpg in 4 games at the Vegas Summer League. I'm fairly big believer that you can't take much from summer league, but the little you can take is usually if a player does really bad. The good doesn't always translate but the bad usually does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing for the Pacers, but I think fans should at least be encouraged that they went for it and that a max level player wanted to sign outright. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat writer for the Sun's predicted if Ayton went to the Pacers that the Pacers might make the playoffs. With no quality starting center on the roster the Pacers have a happing hole. All Turner can do is block shots and is a horrible rebounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is you posting every 20 minutes about Ayton. Maybe he is trajecting to the likes of Embiid or Jokic but it was a year early and the ship has sailed. What's the next play?

OGIUAndy Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Once Woj said they weren’t interested in a sign and trade and intended to match, this deal was dead in the water. What happens with Turner should be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I think they were hoping he would sign the qualifying offer and have 1 more year to run it back….that or some team would offer him like 25 million and they wouldn’t have to match a max.

I haven’t watched any of his games….sometimes you get some selfish teams that don’t want to share the ball etc….but yeah that doesn’t speak well. I mean I knew he would have trouble creating his own shot but he is going to need a lot of help from his teammates if he is going to be productive.

Indykev Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I would be asking GM KP why he couldnt get a sign and trade done knowing the Suns were going to match. The offer was a show for the fans, look, Herb Simon got off his dead ass and blew the dust off of some cash. Dont be fooled, Herb loves his money, it was all a show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
