Hopefully the Knicks go back to Vegas.
Speaking of the summer league does anybody remember it taking place at the westchester county center back in the 90s. I remember going in 96 and seeing guys like iverson and john wallace for the knicks. Sorry to get off topic but wish the SL could come back east again

The Orlando Magic has decided to end their annual summer league.Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said Sunday the trend of NBA teams playing in the Las Vegas Summer League led to the decision end Orlando Pro Summer League. Orlando's Summer League, which showcased rookies and young players, began in 2002.
Las Vegas will host all 30 teams for the summer league beginning in the summer of 2018. The Orlando Pro Summer League began as a 10-team tournament but there were just eight participating teams this past summer.
The summer league in Orlando, which is played in the Magic's practice gym, was the only one of three leagues that did not allow fans to come in to watch.
Can’t say I’m sorry to see it go! Seems like there should be different Summer Leagues but just done better than Orlando. Vegas is a bit over the top so something less flamboyant but not totally DEAD like Orlando.

That league sucked. I would have gone to games there if they allowed fans to watch.
I did not enjoy watching the games in Orlando. Hard to follow. Vegas is better for TV for sure.
