Cole Anthony with a Orlando tribute posted to his IG: “Orlandoooooo! I know this took me a while, but l had to find the right words. This city became home, and some people even became family - To the fans: thank you for believing in me, standing by me, and making every moment count. I gave you everything I had, and you gave me even more in return. I'll carry this chapter in my heart forever. To my teammates y'all already know wassup We locked in! To the organization & coaching staff-thank you for the opportunity to grow, learn, and lead over these last 5 years. Much love always. See y'all SOON #ThankYouOrlando #50Out”

We should sign David Jones Garcia or Chris Youngblood to a two way contract. I like how Weltman goes into summer league every year with open spots for two way contract. You get to scout guys playing on other teams, and try to pluck them off. Plus, the Spurs and Thunder are pretty loaded, so I don't think they have room for those guy.

Penda +19, Jase +10. Penda 9-14-2 with 4 stock. Jase 19-2-4 with 2 blocks. Young fellas looked like vets, even more so than TDS. da Silva started off hot, but started to force things in the 2nd half. He had Jase wide open in the corner for a 3 and decided to go 1 on 3. I could see them sitting those three next game, or sit TDS and play the two rookies one more game.

Penda has a good feel for the game. He seem to make the right play all the time. I just wish we had better players on the floor with him, Jase and TDS. Get Kelley off this team.

da Silva on fire.

Colin Murray Boyles is playing tonight. I hope Jase get more ball handling responsibility tonight, and hopefully Thompson fall back a little bit this game. He made me want to turn the game off vs the Kings.

#Magic rookie Jase Richardson, who re-tweaked his right ankle during Thursday’s summer league game vs. Sacramento, is “feeling good” and went through “pretty much everything” during practice Saturday, Orlando coach Ameer Bahhur said.

The Hornets got a steal in McNeeley. That injury killed his stock and Charlotte brought the dip. Big fan of the kid. He's a dog. Here's his highlights: https://x.com/NBA/status/1943845766683828697

Thompson trying to be the go to scorer, while on the floor with TDS and Jase, is diabolical. We had a chance to tied the game late in the 4th, Jase had it going, and this guy is playing hero ball. He should be trying stuff the stat sheet like Penda, yet, he's trying to be the leading scorer in SL. Like that's going to get him on a NBA roster. Weltman needs to change his formula on the two-ways. He tends to bring in the same type of players every year. I would've liked to see a shooter next to Jase in the backcourt.

Jase finishing ability is Kyrie lite. Kid just plays the game the right way.

Raynaud cooking us.

The #Magic are starting Jase Richardson, Ethan Thompson, Noah Penda, Tristan da Silva and Kylor Kelley to open 2025 Las Vegas Summer League against the Kings.

Queen is having a rough outing.

In one half Beringer looks like the best rookies I've seen so far in SL. The wolves got a steal. Plus, he's only 18.

The Phoenix Suns are hiring Orlando Magic assistant Jesse Mermuys as a top assistant coach on Jordan Ott's staff, sources tell ESPN. Critical hire for Ott to lure a lead assistant from a well-respected Magic staff.

Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA star and champion Jalen Williams has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million, agents Bill Duffy and Justin Haynes of WME Basketball told ESPN.

#Magic are grouped with the Celtics, Pistons, Nets and Sixers in their NBA Cup Group this year https://x.com/NBAPR/status/1943008854502969433

Also, this is our SL starting lineup based off of practice photos. Jase Richardson Ethan Thompson Tristan Da Silva Noah Penda Kylor Kelley We also picked up Skal Labissiere, too.

Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder star and NBA champion Chet Holmgren has agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $250 million, agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball told ESPN. https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1942939319590613051 They're doing the same thing to Chet in the comment section. Somebody said "50 million for a worse Lively". Lol

They pretty much cried about every rookie max deal, except Anthony Edwards. I mean, the advanced stats don't work in his favor, and some of that is on him, but the front office and coaching staff has to take some of the blame, too. The man spend damn near his entire rookie contract playing without a PG, a coaching staff without an offensive coordinator after Tibbet left and the worst shooting situation probably in NBA history. I like what Weltman did this summer, but he always seem to be a year behind. I think that has played a part in the development of both Paolo and Franz, too.

The Washington Wizards are trading Kelly Olynyk to the San Antonio Spurs for Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round pick (least favorable of Dallas, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City), sources tell ESPN. Love this move for the Spurs.

Before diving into our chat with Tyus Jones and Jeff Weltman, along with video from summer league practice, I wanted to share that #Magic rookie Jase Richardson has a sore right ankle but is “progressing well,” per coach Ameer Bahhur, who added they’re “not too worried about it.”
