Cole Swider: Lakers G League

[IthacaMatt]

Socks, Joe?

Come on man.

Yeah, me too. I never warmed to that "fashion" trend. Always reminded me of 80s/90s EuroTrash.

On brand, I'd say

"One More Year!"

Come on man.

It's a pro move. Feet warm and still the ease of a sandal, no lace tying and keep the kicks clean on the way into the gym.

Do you worry about keeping the feet warm when it's shorts weather? Gotta air em out.

Shorts weather, 50/50. Very much depends on the situation.

1 year contract which gives Miami the right of first refusal and to match any offer. I think the minimum is $1.8m.

So, does this mean Cole is guaranteed a 1.8 mil contact this year?

Yep, it’s a one year guarantee.

 

[cuseattle]

Yep, it’s a one year gurantee.

Fantastic. That's a house

 

[Cheriehoop]

He also earned $559,782 for 2023-2024 and $508,891 for 2022-2023 so he’s earning almost $800,000 more this year than he earned in total for his first 2 years. Good for him.

I couldn't be happier for him. That is truly great news.

Amen. Was always a fan of him, dating back to HS when SU first was recruiting him...seems like a good dude, rooting for him.

I'd love to see him with the Villanova Knicks.

Sports culture usually only celebrates the absolute best in the world which is silly. Being the best shooter in the G league is a tremendous accomplishment I would like to see SU celebrate.

There are millions of people who play basketball and probably less than 50 who shoot better than Cole. I've heard Pat Riley say he loves him. Think he will be spending a lot of time in the NBA next season.

Cole and the Heats first summer league game is tonight at 630 on ESPN.

Too easy for him.

 

[rrlbees]

Too easy for him.

What helps Cole is his quick release. One of his 3s was on an out of bounds play in the corner. Real quick. The color commentator was the former GM of the Bucks. He likes him a lot. Thinks he’ll eventually be on a roster all year.

 

[stuckinbig11]

When he missed one of his 3s, the commentator called it a rare miss.
