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.

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.”

Heat get - Norman Powell Clippers get - John Collins Jazz get - Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson, 2027 second-round pick

It doesn't look like Caleb will be back with Tyus Jones selecting to wear #2.

PHX: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, 2nd HOU: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela BKN: 2 2nds GSW: Alex Toohey, Jahmai Mashack ATL: 2nd swap, David Roddy, cash LAL: Adou Thiero MIN: Rocco Zikarsky, 2 2nds, cash Terms of the first ever NBA trade involving seven teams.

The Memphis Grizzlies are trading center Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers for one second-round pick and one second-round pick swap, sources tell ESPN.

The Houston Rockets are trading Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards for two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The deal gives Whitmore a tremendous opportunity for an increased role as he turns 21 on Tuesday and returns to the DMV area.

Correction on this: I forgot Desmond Bane has a bonus in his deal, so things are tighter to that first-apron hard cap for Orlando than I had below. They've got room for Penda on a 2RPE deal or a vet minimum signing. Can't currently fit in both. Plenty of time to clear room though.

The #Magic have officially signed second-round pick Noah Penda.

Update: Moe Wagner will have a no-trade clause in his one-year, $5 million deal with the Orlando Magic, league sources told @hoopshype

Bringing back Moe Wagner at $5M, I've got the Magic at about $4.3M over the luxury tax with two open roster spots. Orlando is hard-capped at the first apron from using the NTMLE on Tyus Jones, and has about $3.7M in clearance underneath the first apron. That's enough room for Noah Penda on a second round pick exception deal, plus a veteran minimum signing. I'm guessing we sign Houstan back on the vet min. Helluva off-season by Weltman and Parker.

The Houston Rockets and Kevon Harris have agreed to a two-way deal, Senior VP of @CSETalent Darrell Comer told @hoopshype. Harris was G League Next Up Game MVP and signed a 10-day deal with the Atlanta Hawks last season. He averaged 19.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in the G League.
