Let’s imagine for a second that life is a mountain. Everyone climbs the mountain for different reasons and reach certain heights. Some people reach the top. Some people get half way up. Tragedy strikes some people and their climb ends. Some people never begin the climb at all.
"I won't pretend to be up here and defend Bryson. I'm not particularly fond of him. I think a lot of it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention."

The second there’s even a suggestion they could be rewarded later, the conversation shifts to cap circumvention
At what point does taking less to win become cap circumvention?
My guess is they are signaling a time to rebuild and take on younger players on smaller contracts. If you’re not going to be competitive what’s the issue in rewarding a guy who’s proven to be a scorer and most likely a great culture guy for their next phase post-Giannis.
If the conversation was take a team friendly deal this year and we can re-negotiate next year… what’s the problem with that? I know for a fact teams have done that in the past. They could have just not gave him the deal this year. But it’s their money their decision what they do with it.
So if you’re underpaid no one bats an eye but if you get overpaid you investigate it?
Investigate guys that take minimums or lesser deals when their market value is way higher as well then

Summer league is for rookies, 2nd year guys to learn the concepts/speed of the game. For anyone else there’s legitimately no point unless the organization is evaluating a few guys for two-way deals. He has a job already. No point for him. Anyone saying it’s for more reps doesn’t know what a real offseason looks like
Victor Wembanyama is considering signing less than his five-year, $251 million maximum rookie scale extension to provide San Antonio greater financial flexibility, per @JakeLFischer
