What if someone gets hurt during summer league?
Oh well. I guess I'm just not very sports-patriotic. If I'm an employer, I want my employee able to perform for me, whether it be important (regular season/playoffs) or secondary (summer league) or unable due to work activity (season/playoffs/summer league), not at a party (something stupid) or part time job (international play). If they get injured driving to work (home practice) or mowing the lawn (real life stuff), oh well. Tough luck. But quit your part-time of I'm paying you enough and isn't that important (actual Olympics) and stay away from parties, use a taxi (no drunk driving), etc.
Mark Cuban shares this view too.
Jazz's Exum passes on Aussie Olympic squad spot
Seriously? So he got hurt in the qualifiers and now he won't go? But to be honest, I didn't want him to go anyway. One, you get tired. Second is injuries. Obviously, you can get injured walking out of your car, too, but didn't like him playing last year. I always felt, if you're going to get injured, get injured working with our staff.
I'm sorry, but this is stupid and we're both dumber for having read it. Exum at the least is a TBD. I understand that we only have had 9 picks and two of those nine were our best (Williams and Hayward) but trading two firsts for Burke is good enough for being the two worst Utah lottery picks.
