It looks like all the games will be televised from MGM Resorts.

Every MGM Resorts NBA Summer League game will air live on television for the second straight year, with ESPN networks and NBA TV combining to televise a record number of games.

MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2019, which features all 30 NBA teams and the Chinese and Croatian National Teams, will tip off with 10 games on July 5 and continue through Monday, July 15 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The first day of action will include five games on NBA TV and a tripleheader on ESPN.

Suns should be able to field a pretty good summer team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns should be loaded at point guard if Ty Jerome, Jared Harvey and Jalen Lecque all play. That leaves Melton and Okobo as well at point guard if they are not traded.

I'm hoping Cam Johnson and Tariq Owens play as well. Can't wait to see the roster.

Me, either, considering that at least half of it will probably be on the regular season roster...

That’s too many pgs. All five should play summer league but that’s too many.

 

[Covert Rain]

That’s too many pgs. All five should play summer league but that’s too many.

I will be thrilled if we find one diamond in the rough that everybody underestimated.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Too bad we can't see Johnson and Jerome until the 7th. That sucks. They can't even work out with Phoenix, right? It's a mess.

 

[JerkFace]

Too bad we can't see Johnson and Jerome until the 7th. That sucks. They can't even work out with Phoenix, right? It's a mess.

The NBA really needs to overhaul how all that works. It is beyond stupid to see draft picks wearing the wrong hats on draft night, and then the organization can’t even talk about who they picked for over two weeks.

 

[Mainstreet]

That’s too many pgs. All five should play summer league but that’s too many.

@ArizonaSportsFan does a nice job of saying, Ty Jerome may not even play because of the trade for Aron Baynes.

The same with Cam Johnson because of the Dario Saric trade.

I'm wondering if Minnesota and Boston can give permission.

 

[JerkFace]

I wonder who is going to coach the summer league. Monty has already stated that he wants to give one of the younger coaches the chance to coach the summer league.

 

[Hoop Head]

Any news on the Summer Suns? Games should start soon.

 

[Ronin]

Any news on the Summer Suns?

Nothing new.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope the Suns do not have to wait until July 6th before adding Cam Johnson and Ty Jerome.

 

[Chaplin]

I hope the Suns do not have to wait until July 6th before adding Cam Johnson and Ty Jerome.

It’s already been established that they have to wait.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

It’s already been established that they have to wait.

It blows my mind that the NBA didn't think about this before implementing these dates...

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

If I understand it they are with the team and can practice, just not play until after the 6th - after they are officially members of the team because the picks officially belong to the Suns because the trades are official. Or something like that....

 

[devilalum]

It blows my mind that the NBA didn't think about this before implementing these dates...

O yeah,

They really thucked fings up.

There's a couple guys I want to see. So not a total waste of time.

They just mentioned on the radio, one of our guys was a junior graduate! The guy earned his bachelor's degree in three years! Cameron Johnson 3 years from Pittsburgh. No wonder he transfered to North Carolina.

 

[Chaplin]

Melton isn't on the Suns Summer League roster.

Jerome and Cam can't play till game 2 on Sunday. The trades can't be consummated by the league till Saturday the 6th.

No Okobo either.

EDIT: Okobo IS on the roster:

[Mainstreet]

I'm anxious to see Jalen Lecque and Jared Harper.

They are both undrafted point guards who I think have a chance with the Suns.

 

[Proximo]

Gambo was right again. Said Melton would not be on the summer league roster - and that he would be traded. So that is coming up soon.

 

[1Sun]

No Okobo either.

EDIT: Okobo IS on the roster:

Spalding, too? Would love to have Spalding on a two-way deal or even on the regular roster as the 15th guy.
