If anyone gets any info regarding national (NBA TV?) television broadcasts for these games, please put them in here

[Derek Bodner]

I'll get to watch every minute of every game for every team through DX's scouting service

Don't suppose some sort of game summary/bit torrent type thing could be made available?  Is DX allowed to resell those?  I might pay a couple bucks to watch em if Speights and Thad go (though L-Will won't go this year)

[Derek Bodner]

No, definitely not allowed to resell/leak those. 

I'll try to provide recaps

[Derek Bodner]

Hopefully the games will be webcast like last year.  I think they were available for replay as well- but I'm not certain.

[TheGuiltyParty]

I'll be alright if they'll be made available for webcasts other wise, I'm going to have call Comcast and see about getting NBA TV hooked up.

You should get it hooked up anyway not only for summer league games but for the comedy of 'expert commentator' billy king

[Stanford]

At least the guy is well spoken 

Its also funny/uncomfortable when he has to talk about the Sixers.

There''s only one former GM who is more fun than billy king, and that's steve philips on ESPN, former ny mets gm who wouldn't give A-Rod a few perks when he hit free agency - thought he wasn't worth it - idiot

The countdown is on... just about 32 hours until free agency is under way. I imagine Brand opting out or not will dictate where Stefasnki is focused at midnight. When does Brand have to notify the league of him opting out? Does he actually have all the way up until midnight tomorrow night???

I know his deadline to opt out is 6/30.  I hope he doesn't make people wait until 11:59 PM. 

Honestly, other than his interview on 950, there has been zero indication that Philly is a legit player for his services.  I have heard Clippers, Miami or nothing unless Philly can clear sig more cap.
