This poor kid doesn't even have a chance to breathe. Look I'm never big on guys over 7 foot and the hype they get because with the way the NBA is its hard for most of those guys bodies to last. But it's one game in the summer league and he is what all of 18 or 19 years old. He isn't gonna dominate the NBA this year everyone knows that. Scoot was always a better talent for the NBA today. In the next 5-10 who knows but his game translates today vs a 7 foor 4 young kid.

What he should do is to be in the safe side while he is still a rookie because his body is not yet qualified to go head-to-head with the other bigs in the league because that will just give him an injury or probably worse than that. I know he doesn't want that and the whole franchise doesn't want it either, and we can see how careful they are on Wemby because he wasn't playing that much to avoid unnecessary outcome especially after Kai Jones dunked on Wemby and that wasn't a good picture to see.

This is his first game, and I'm sure they are not so serious with the summer league so it's better not to go all out and stay free from any injury. I'm not a fan though but the hype is too much and can put too much pressure to the kid. Maybe they should stop doing this and just focus on making Wemby more fit for NBA because we all know this is a physical game and too bad if Wemby can't handle such action from other players. Thad kid has a bright future, let's just enjoy watching his game.

I think Wemby is doing well on his first game. People is just putting him on a lot pressure due to the expectation even though we all knew that he is still Rookie despite of his no.1 draft pick title. Wemby has a good ball handling and shooting skills which is a good skill set for a 7 footer like him. His body might look fragile now but San Antonio is popular for a good player developer especially if the player has a potential. I’m not expecting a lot to Wemby on this summer league or even on NBA regular season.

It could be, but remember that all #1 picks, or even #2-#3 are expected to play that good even in exhibitions matches. Just like what Chet experience, then he got injured. Same with Paolo Banchero last year, as I remember.

I reading comments though about Wemby's performance like he was being compare to Gobert with the green light to shoot, Lol. I don't think there is comparison with Rudy though.

But give him 2 or more years experience and training with Spurs then he will be a very good center. Spurs is known for scouting talent like Robinson and Duncan. I think they can develop Wemby properly since this is their chance to have another great player that will carry the franchise for another championship in the future.

2 years is more than enough. For me it should be just around a year's transformation and he should see a vastly improved Wemby. But I do agree, their #1 picks in the last includes Robinson and Duncan and this two brought them a dynasty in the 2000's (together with other players).

It's just one game, and it has already shown how overrated he is. His poor shooting is very evident, and what will happen when the regular season starts? I think Wemby's season is not going to be easy. So for those who are thinking of betting on him to win the ROY (Rookie of the Year), I guess you have to think twice because thus far, he has not impressed us yet.

Yeah it's just one game, a summer league game, he has a lot of pressure being the greatest prospect next to LeBron and yeah he had a poor shooting night. However, if you look at his game, he actually made an impact both offensively and defensively. He just still needs to adapt to the game of NBA. I won't say he's overrated, because he had shown us his ability is one of a kind for 7 foot guy. I can't wait for the regular season and see if he really lives up to the hype, If he can win the ROTY. But I know he will eventually become better and better. He already have the skill and he only needs to develop, hopefully without a major injury he'll be a future hall of famer.

He is too hyped, but in reality, there's no player in the NBA who is over 7 ft in height that is very dominant, especially with a build like Wemby's. I guess he needs to improve his physique because his height alone is not enough to win. This is the league for the big boys, and he has to understand that. I suppose the Spurs see something special in Wemby because they can develop him, without expecting him to be great in his first season.

Since there has been no player to be called a real superstar in recent years, the nba management has started to advertise some players exaggeratedly. That's the thing about this guy in my opinion. The nba management started to broadcast this guy's games. He did interviews every day. Because they advertised so much some people started to call him alien and stuff. So unnecessary. This guy is actually number 5, his shooting is weak, ball control is average, but he is a tall player. So what sets this man apart from other tall people? Being tall. People can see that his shot is getting out of his hand very slowly. So he is not a sharp shooter. His ball control is very good. I'm really curious what he's going to do, he'll be unstoppable or something. There are plenty of these guys similar to him in the league already; evan mobley, lauri markannen, porzingis, ayton, embiid etc.

Wemby got these stats for his debut in the NBA summer league with his team:

Quote from: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/victor-wembanyama-summer-league-debut-its-a-mixed-bag-for-the-spurs-top-pick-in-his-first-nba-game/live/

9 Points, 2-13 FG

8 Rebounds

5 Blocks

3 Assists

Well, too many were disappointed about the stats that he's made for his very first game. But I'd say that gives time to the kid and the best prospect on this year's draft. It's still a new and fresh start so don't be hasty. That one game seems to be like the judging game for him before even this official season starts.

I would be disappointed though, I mean with all the hype, maybe there is pressure on his shoulder on his first game and there were controversies as well. Some high lights like using his left hand to score. But he was posterized as well, so welcome to the NBA.

So let's give him some time to adapt to the rigors, this is just the summer league so he should not force himself.

Remember what happen to Chet Holmgren, it's not even the start of the NBA but he gets injured.

Its just a one game so maybe he's just overwhelmed on attention he got so maybe we can see his real plays on next or on couple of games playing on NBA and also for sure Spurs will correct all his mistake made on first game so lets see what will happen if he could bounce back on his disappointing first game on summer league. There's si many got dismayed seeing his performance earlier but its understandable since maybe he's just adjusting on new level of game plays he's currently playing.

It's just one game, and it has already shown how overrated he is. His poor shooting is very evident, and what will happen when the regular season starts? I think Wemby's season is not going to be easy. So for those who are thinking of betting on him to win the ROY (Rookie of the Year), I guess you have to think twice because thus far, he has not impressed us yet.

Right from the start, I already have some doubts on this kid especially about his build as we all know that he should be careful enough because the players in the league right now can be dominant and might target him to posterize him inside the paint, just like what happened in his very first game. That was just a taste on what he's facing in reality.

I know he got some talents but his frame wouldn't let him to do what he used to before he step his foot on this league and as long as the hype is surrounding him in his first year as a rookie, he will always be a target in the league. ROTY might be too much too ask though.

Blazers have been trying to get better but let's see what they can do for next season although I doubt there will be anything surprising that the Blazers can achieve.

Lillard was likely disappointed with what happened to the team after they traded CJ McCollum, as they formed one of the best backcourt combos. Interestingly, CJ's career took off with the Pelicans, but unfortunately, they faced challenges due to key players being injury-prone. It's understandable that Lillard would request a trade, as he no longer sees his vision aligning with the team's direction.

Now, I am confident that the Blazers will trade Lillard, and regardless of the offers from other teams interested in participating in the trade, I believe the Heat will be the ultimate winner, as it is Lillard's preferred landing spot.

CJ McCollum has had a lot of wins and he has been one of the best so it's only natural that Lillard is disappointed that the team has changed with the departure of CJ McCollum.
I'm not sure Lillard's request to ask
swapping CJ McCollum was acceptable and it was a rocky start for them.

Whether Lillard's exchange will be made or not because there is no certainty and also talk of exchanging Lillard but it's true that the Heat can be the main winners because they are also the most seeded.

Same feeling. Every time he moves, it feels like he will get injured. Watching the NBA Summer League should be enjoyable but this time watching Wemby looks so scary because of the sense that he might get injured at any time. Hopefully we can see a transformation in his physique like Giannis Antetokounmpo

^ Not the worst trade I guess. Especially when you consider that getting Dame would probably draw in free agents that are worth more than what Miami would be giving up for him. Concerning news for the league is the rumor that if Dame gets traded anywhere other than Miami that he will refuse to report. His image might be about to take a hit.

That would be crazy, I know holding out is more an nfl thing but I can't remember an nba player being traded and refusing to check in. Would that team have the right to back out of the trade? At this point in his career do you really think Dame would do that. I mean if he gets buried on a presentation losing team I guess it's possible but what if the Bucks swung a trade for Dame. I mean the chip is there for him to win it a bunch of places. If he didn't comply yeah his image would definitely take a hit. Everyone should learn from Leveon Bell better to play then to sit out. Could ruin your career.

Honestly, other than the Miami Heat, there are lots of teams that are interesting to acquire Dame and they actually got what it takes to get him if they were that serious. But in respect with what the player wanted, they are giving the chance to the Miami Heat because that's what the player wanted and if the Heat cannot give a good package in return, let's just expect that there will be some teams that will have their own offers, like Bucks and Celtics for instance.

I don't really mind what the agent of Dame says, and I will not believe a single thing that the league is afraid of that kind of trouble because with Dame's situation nowadays, it will be hard for him to forget what he started just because of this trade. Sooner or later, he will retire within a decade or less, I don't think he's ready to sacrifice that kind of thing.

Honestly I think the Bucks is the best spot for Dame. With brook and giannis they got theor 4/5 covered. I don't know who or what they can offer (seems to me the same that the Heat can offer) then the Bucks would be instant east favorites. The Bucks are a premiere team, little bad luck with giannis going out early in game 1 of theor playoff series. If I was Dame that would be the team I'd want. That inside out game would be insane. The amount of open 3s he'd see. And with his range. Wow that would be a tough team to cover.

Yes, as I said, there are lots of teams that are interested on this trade but it is Dame himself who wanted to be traded in Miami, who knows why but he didn't state any other teams if in case the Miami-Portland negotiation will fail. And if I recall it correctly, the Golden State Warriors was his first option before he expressed that he wanted a trade but everything has changed after the Warriors acquired Chris Paul and I'm as curious as you guys why Dame wanted to be in the Miami Heat if there are other teams in the league that can also give him the same chance.

Probably just personal preference. It might have something to do with the players on the team, maybe he thinks him and Jimmy would be good together. Maybe he just wants to live in Miami, its a hot spot to live and be in, in the states. Also Florida has no state income tax so maybe it has to do with money, who knows

.
Chris Paul is a good player that can help the star players of Golden state warriors to carry their team in to victory. But for me once The Golden state warriors have Chris Paul then there's an adjustment for everyone as we all know that Chris Paul is a star players so he have much time to play. But anyways about the Trade of Miami and. Portland then Dame will go to the mix then that's still a good choice.

-snip-

It's funny. This site calls it "a perfect 3-team trade", but I'd say it's a perfect deal only for the Nets and the Heat but not for the Blazers. The way I see it, getting a few future first-round picks, as well as an aging Lowry and a weird guy like Simmons, would be a dumb decision by the Blazers' management. In that case, the Blazers would look like the Rockets, who have been trying to rebuild their team for a few seasons now.

My thoughts are the same as yours, but to say that 3 perfect team trades are actually also appropriate because they made quite good deals and of course other teams cannot imitate them.
But here I'm actually assuming that actually the Heat are the ones who benefit the most to be able to have good preparations for next season.
Blazers have been trying to get better but let's see what they can do for next season although I doubt there will be anything surprising that the Blazers can achieve.

Well, let's see if the Portland will get that kind of bait just because of a couple of first round picks are laid towards them. I know that they wanted to grant Dame's wishes but this is just too far and I don't really think that they will just agree on it especially with Simmons on the trade, they aren't that dumb to accept a player that doesn't know what team play is and he was just so different nowadays compared to the time when they were great in the Sixers.

If the Blazers will have no other choice and doesn't find any better offer than what this 3-way trade, then I guess they would gladly accept it, otherwise they'll be keeping a Dame Lillard who are less interested to contribute to the team.
On the other hand, I don't even understand why they keep signing Ben Simmons, the guy have just totally lost his talent after being slammed because of his poor shooting percentage. I don't even know if the guy has a value LOL.
Well, I'm really hoping the Heat could pull this one of and it's now or never for Dame. The Heat are in a hot momentum for the playoffs, and Dame is surely a great addition to the team.

We will know in the next few days what would be the outcome of this trade because it surfaced on the internet recently that the Heat and Portland will meet somewhere to have a meeting together with Dame's agent, it seems that the latter is also looking forward to trade Dame because they are already overextending their hand just for this one and just like what you've said, keeping Dame is not an advantage anymore as the player might lose his interest.

And for this Ben Simmons, when he was still in Philly, he signed a massive 5-year deal worth $177 Million and by now, he already have 2 seasons left to play and with what he is acting recently, I don't think that there would be any team in the league right now that will get him from the free agency and sign with him.

This poor kid doesn't even have a chance to breathe. Look I'm never big on guys over 7 foot and the hype they get because with the way the NBA is its hard for most of those guys bodies to last. But it's one game in the summer league and he is what all of 18 or 19 years old. He isn't gonna dominate the NBA this year everyone knows that. Scoot was always a better talent for the NBA today. In the next 5-10 who knows but his game translates today vs a 7 foor 4 young kid.

I think Wemby's season is not going to be easy. So for those who are thinking of betting on him to win the ROY (Rookie of the Year), I guess you have to think twice because thus far, he has not impressed us yet.

Yeah it's just one game, a summer league game, he has a lot of pressure being the greatest prospect next to LeBron and yeah he had a poor shooting night. However, if you look at his game, he actually made an impact both offensively and defensively. He just still needs to adapt to the game of NBA. I won't say he's overrated, because he had shown us his ability is one of a kind for 7 foot guy. I can't wait for the regular season and see if he really lives up to the hype, If he can win the ROTY. But I know he will eventually become better and better. He already have the skill and he only needs to develop, hopefully without a major injury he'll be a future hall of famer.

Agreed, he is not overrated. It's only that the public has extremely high expectations and has been hyped. To be honest, I don't think Wemby will ever be as excellent as Lebron, especially in his early years. However, too much pressure may be beneficial to him because he will be hungry to develop and always offer his best effort, only if he can handle the pressure. Allow him some time. Just look at Giannis and how much better he is today in comparison to his early years.

You can't blame the people. He was the number 1 pick, so it's only natural that people expect him to be the best rookie next season and be highly competitive against the older, star players. The highlights I've seen of him on social media are really impressive, but when I watched his first NBA game, I was disappointed.

We're not blaming him; we're just disappointed because our expectations were not met.

He is too hyped, but in reality, there's no player in the NBA who is over 7 ft in height that is very dominant, especially with a build like Wemby's. I guess he needs to improve his physique because his height alone is not enough to win. This is the league for the big boys, and he has to understand that. I suppose the Spurs see something special in Wemby because they can develop him, without expecting him to be great in his first season.

Wemby got these stats for his debut in the NBA summer league with his team:

Quote from: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/victor-wembanyama-summer-league-debut-its-a-mixed-bag-for-the-spurs-top-pick-in-his-first-nba-game/live/

9 Points, 2-13 FG

8 Rebounds

5 Blocks

3 Assists

Well, too many were disappointed about the stats that he's made for his very first game. But I'd say that gives time to the kid and the best prospect on this year's draft. It's still a new and fresh start so don't be hasty. That one game seems to be like the judging game for him before even this official season starts.

I would be disappointed though, I mean with all the hype, maybe there is pressure on his shoulder on his first game and there were controversies as well. Some high lights like using his left hand to score. But he was posterized as well, so welcome to the NBA.

So let's give him some time to adapt to the rigors, this is just the summer league so he should not force himself.

Remember what happen to Chet Holmgren, it's not even the start of the NBA but he gets injured.

Its just a one game so maybe he's just overwhelmed on attention he got so maybe we can see his real plays on next or on couple of games playing on NBA and also for sure Spurs will correct all his mistake made on first game so lets see what will happen if he could bounce back on his disappointing first game on summer league. There's si many got dismayed seeing his performance earlier but its understandable since maybe he's just adjusting on new level of game plays he's currently playing.
