2023 Summer League Champs

[AustinCarr]

I for one am ready to get irrationally excited about the potential of players who will never play a minute in the NBA! Who's with me!?!?!?!

 

[Mr. MacPhisto]

Did I miss Ced's 5 consecutive All-Star appearances?

Not at all but the name definitely would trigger some memories of some people here pre-LeBron. He was a flash in the pan and I quickly prayed for Cedric Ceballos to come to Cleveland, but still the name just triggered the memory.

Do not want.

I immediately hear the "Limu Emu liberty mutual" jingle when I read the word Emu, but maybe that is the professional marketer in me...

What about “The Aust-rich”?

What about “The Aust-rich”?

I feel like it's going to come to us during this Summer League Championship journey

So much at stake already in the desert, might as well be a make or break for Luke's Aussie Bird nickname which was just starting to catch on last summer league

Those golden locks from down under leading the break in transition by passing and inspiring his 'mates to do the same.

One thing that stood out to me:

Craig Porter Jr. Signed a two way deal:

Craig Porter Jr. ready to prove himself in Cleveland with NBA two-way contract

"It hasn't sunk in yet." After a huge spring, the former Shocker got his NBA shot and is ready to make the most of it.

A two way contract makes 50% of the rookie contract. We also know Emoni Bates and Isaiah Mobley will be battling it out. One guy is likely to get the last roster spot on a rookie deal, the other will have the second two way deal.

Aren't teams allowed to have 3 2-way deals now?

I missed that update, thanks!

There's a part of me that wants to see the kid do a complete 180 and come out sporting a Johnny U. style crew cut, just to read the reactions here.

Sure enough - Isaiah Mobley signed the two-way contract, bringing the Cavs to a likely three two-ways:

Cavs: Cleveland makes key contract decision with Isaiah Mobley

The Cleveland Cavaliers have tendered a two-way qualifying offer to Cavs forward Isaiah Mobley, according to Spotrac contributor Keith Smith.

I hope to see Isaiah make the jump this year into a role with the 15 man roster. We had such a great regular season as Cavs fans, we barely talked about Isaiah improving by leaps and bounds with the Charge. I know a lot of fans want Mo Bamba signed because of his length and three point range, but Mobley has a chance to be just as good this year.

[CleveRocks]
