Happy for DWhite. Hell, he's earned it. A lot of drama around this today, though. Hope he doesn't listen to the noise, from his own fvcking teammate no less.
It does appear that Brown was frozen out and that there's probably some truth to this being because he's not a Nike guy & the rest of the team is. Probably what also hurt his All-NBA votes. Players are much more loyal to their shoe company than their team.
Heard about that too, maybe that has something to do with it, Idk? I just think DWhite has zero to apologize for.

I think it's more that Nike is the largest sponsor of the USA basketball program and JB has spoken out directly against them.

KJ and the Hornets on tonight, 5 eastern.
The fairbanks years were the worst for fans. The players kept a great spirit though. 2 of them, the Cone Brothers, helped a lot. I stumbled on this - sounds like a bad ending. I think the brother, Marty, is still CU's all-time tackling leader.

Would have loved to see TDS end up with the Nuggets.
I think his game would be a perfect fit with Joker. Potentially he could have developed to a point where they could trade MPJ easing the salary cap crunch without losing much on the floor.

He might end up being one of those guys that ends up a better pro than college player. It does happen from time to time.
He’s playing great, and really looking like his game is a great fit for the NBA. Crazy to think that Cody is what three-four years younger than TDS?! Imagine Cody in a few years.
Time will tell. This is summer league so it'll sure as hell get harder.
Love that he is not a Laker.
Dallas is an interesting fit but with Luka and Kyrie there his role will be limited. Those are guys who play big minutes and tend to dominate the ball when on the floor.
Was going to say that both are durable as well but going and looking at the stats Kyrie was very durable earlier in his career but as age is getting up on him (32yo) he has missed more games, that might be Spencers opening for significant minutes.
Both guys who Spencer has played with. That makes this an easy fit for them to gel and Spencer to easily slot into an effective role which complements their games.
Good points.
Also last season Luka played 70 games plus the playoffs and averaged over 37 minutes a game. Similar to the concerns we have heard in Denver they have to be concerned about the wear and tear on him. Spencer might be a part of getting Luka more rest.
BTW: Kyrie played over 34 minutes a game in his 58 so similar concerns could apply.
Bummed TDS didn’t make 1st or 2nd team for the All Summer League Teams. I know it doesn’t mean anything but I love the recognition.
BTW, Tristan gave props to the CU program for preparing him for the NBA. He said that a lot of what he is doing in the pros are things he did under Tad at CU.

“da Silva credited his ability to thrive quickly to his collegiate experience at Colorado, where he was a three-year starter, and to the support he has received from the Magic organization since being drafted in late June.
"They make it really easy for me," da Silva said. "They welcomed me with open arms since day one, so great people, great organization, easy to be around and easy to connect with. From a basketball standpoint, I feel like a lot of the stuff that we did in college is also applicable to the NBA level from a concept standpoint. I feel really comfortable out there."
I think we’re seeing the same thing with Cody and K.J.
