Waiting for Tony Khan to offer me that wrestling contract first before his football team
Nuggets signed another 6'7" forward to their final two-way spot. Spencer Jones. I won't criticize the kid because I've never seen him play, but I have no idea how you could look at this roster and not try to get another guard.
Unless we trade or cut somebody, this is it:
PG: Jamal Murray, Russell Westbrook, Jalen Pickett, (Trey Alexander)
SG: Christian Braun, Julian Strawther
SF: Michael Porter, Peyton Watson, Hunter Tyson, (Spencer Jones)
PF: Aaron Gordon, Vlatko Cancar, Zeke Nnaji, (PJ Hall), [DaRon Holmes]
C: Nikola Jokic, Dario Saric, DeAndre Jordan
(two-way, can only be active for 50 regular season games whether they play or not and 0 playoff games) [out for season]

I mean Jokic is the Joker. He is a center that plays guard. With his switch defense improvement he can handle guarding guards regularly.
With Gordan and Saric able to guard the 5, Jokic can be the 3rd guard. Think about this unit without Murray. I like it. Essentially Jokic is your Point Guard on offense and your Center on D.

Watson
Porter Jr
Gordan
There is not nearly enough shooting or ball handling on the floor if you play Gordon, Westbrook, Watson, and Jokic together. The spacing would be terrible.

Westbrook. Jokic, and Gordan can all handle the ball. This team is not full of shooters but the guys are going to have to make open shots to win. We couldn't do that last year against the T- Wolves and lost.
Braun, Strawther, Watson are going to have to shoot and Westbrook and Gordon are going to have to hit 3 pointers at big moments, without shooting high volume from 3. If that doesn't happen than maybe they do find a way to get another guard that can shoot but it doesn't seem likely right now.
Final Summer League thoughts
Strawther - hell yes
Alexander - hell yes
Hall - maybe
Jones - no earthly idea
Tyson - absolute no hoper
Pickett - whatever one rung below "absolute no hoper" is

Ball handling, rim pressure, defense, passing, rebounding, and pace. He is vastly better than Reggie Jackson in all of those areas. He's not nearly the shooter Reggie is or was, but he's going to help our second unit in a lot of ways.
But we should still definitely cut Tyson and Pickett and replace them with Tyus Jones and Justin Holiday. We need shooters.
Defense and dribble penetration. The Nuggets with the endless pick and roll got stale and didn't have anyone attacking the basket during the Game 7 second half meltdown. That's really his role, get layups or create open shots for teammates. And someone to carry the ball up the court to preserve Murray's energy at times.
I think for the price he's a great fit. Can't expect much but I do expect more than Reggie was giving.

Legacy matchup for the Denver Outlaws today, playing against the Boston Cannons on ESPN and ESPN+ in 30 minutes.
The Cannons are the only other team that made the jump from Major League Lacrosse (2001-2020) to the new PLL.

I am not much of a surfer, but enjoy watching the WSL on occasion and enjoy surfing media. That said, France has some great waves... but their high season coincides with winter like most of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. With such a condition and location dependent sport... I could care less that they are 5000 miles away from paris for this event. I wish they would do the same with the winter olympics...

My god that second picture looks like what folks think of when they think of cheap chinese knockoff. But the question is what the hell are they trying to knock off? Patrick from Spongebob with US patriotic balls?

I'm finally placing money on the Jamaican's bobsled team!!
I just want the Olympics to quit with the self-felatio and trying to bankrupt nations and get back to concentrating solely on these fantastic athletes and their performances.

Entire team of future hall of famers could only tie Nikola when he was on the floor.
But let's piss and moan about him winning MVP still
