I believe he missed last season's summer league/ camp (Not sure which year we only had a camp). Shouldn't he be the main guy in the SL? Or is Ainge admitting he made a mistake on him and he's already in essence on the way out (Just holding the contract for trade options)?

Walker should be on the SL team as well. Pruitt's definitely a goner, so I don't care about him.

All I see is that Mike is trying for a comeback. Could you please specify where it is on that page?

Wow and I thought that I used to hate to read. lol. It's a very short article, but here:

Quote
The summer league team, which will play in Orlando next week, also includes rookie guard Lester Hudson, who was introduced to the media yesterday, guard Chris Lofton (University of Tennesee, Turkish league), Coby Karl (son of Nuggets coach George Karl, Boise State, Spain), Darius Washington (University of Memphis, Spurs, Czech Republic league), Bryce Taylor (Oregon, Italy), Kevin Rogers (undrafted out of Baylor) and Bryan Mullins (undrafted out of Southern Illinois).

Also mentions Swift later on.

  • Men lie, women lie, numbers don't!
from the looks of the list, it looks like the "possible" new additions. I think JR, Walker and Pruitt will at least play in the summer league. Then we let whoever the under-performer is, walk.

I highly doubt it.

Atleast I hope not, I'm hoping to see Walker, Giddens, Pruitt, and Hudson all play extended minutes without having to defer to anyone.

It's not the entire list.  Earlier publications had Walker, Giddens and Pruitt playing.

When's Summer League start?  These rosters are always pretty fluid.  No way that either Billy or JR doesn't participate, it's just as important for them as it is for Pruitt (who needs to prove he belongs in the NBA; a medicore performance and I don't think he makes it to camp) and for Hudson.  Those guys need to prove they deserve minutes, and I suspect that summer league performances may help determine who's likely to stick and who's likely to be traded.
