not advising someone to avoid disappointment before it happens. That's false hope. Stop investing in something that doesn't focus on winning.

Are you doing a bit? Or is this for real?

if for real, this is the worst take in the history of the world.

“hey Blake. Playing in the NBA is your lifelong dream, but since the odds are against you, you shouldn’t even bother and should just sell insurance or something.”

Getting invited to an NBA summer camp IS winning.

Playing in the summer league is no guarantee that you will make it. That's all I am saying. Continue to protect Mooney and the rest of this athletics department. We aren't focused on winning at this university at all. Coaching is greatly holding back our revenue sports (basketball and football). Soon, revenue will be completely gone cause no change ever happens.

So, we have a guy good enough to be invited to an NBA Summer League, and it means we aren't focused on winning as a university? Oh, okay. Got it.

I have no love for CM but this is a bad take for any number of reasons, including that it can only help our own recruiting.

I don't think 06 realizes the difference between NBA summer league rosters and actual rosters. Most guys who play in the summer league do not make the NBA right away, if ever. It's just a summer league opportunity for draft picks and undrafted guys to get some reps and be seen.

Mooneys the worst. Why isn’t he telling Blake not to lift those weights with that NBA player?
