Observations and chatter from Orlando Summer League

by

ORLANDO — For one week in July, a small portion of the basketball universe converges upon central Florida to watch and participate in the Summer League.

Hamilton: On Free Agency Day 2, Nets Get Joe Johnson, Dwight Next? Knicks Need Nash; CP3’s Pending Free Agency

by

Day Two was fun. Day Three? Might be better than the fireworks on Day 4, the Fourth of July. Now, what did we learn on day two? Apparently, there really are two basketball teams in New York City, and one of them—the Brooklyn Nets—helped to prove that Joe Johnson’s untradeable $90 million contract was anything but that. The other team across the East River—the New York Knicks—kept up their pursuit of Steve Nash, although many of their fans wrongly believe a 38-year old two-time
