Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 29, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2009/06/29/on-t...fid=blogs_hawks Wanted to partition this off from the JJ discussion. No summer league team this year, but the Hawks are supposed to have a mini-camp next month where they bring in guys and put them through the paces. They’re going to lose out on some good free agents, though, because they don’t have a summer league entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 The entire summer league, the Hawks were in, was termintated. Was it called the Rocky Mountain Summer League..............I just remember it was in Utah. It less then half the league will be fielding summer league teams this year. Oh, well. That money is probably better off going to some of our free agents any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packfill Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Most of those teams will be in Orlando instead. Are there any other NBA teams that will not field summer league teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaceRam Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 STUPID QUESTION! So, if the Hawks don't participate in the Summer League then will that make it that much harder for them to compete for some of the better Undrafted College Free Agents? I am assuming that if an Undrafted Player signs with an NBA Team to play in a Summer League that player can't sign with another team to get on their roster? If this is true then this sure would seem to hurt the Hawks chances at signing any of the quality players that went undrafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Charlotte is the only other one. STUPID QUESTION!

It will be difficult for the Hawks to sign undrafted FA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uga2006 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 This sucks. I was hoping to see what Teague would do early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted June 29, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 This sucks. I was hoping to see what Teague would do early on. Summer league really means nothing except getting an early look at our drafted players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted June 29, 2009 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ^^^Sucks for the fan. Probably means nothing in terms of his development. (Plus I had my ultra-sophisticated game score thingee ready to go. It picked out Gardner and Hunter as the best players last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
