Training camp is less than a month away, and most NBA teams (except in Philadelphia) have pretty much finalized their plans. However, there are still a bunch of experienced players without a camp invite, a number of them former Detroit Pistons.
This is the ‘quiet’ period of the NBA. The Summer League is over and the next official NBA activity is opening of training camps on September 28.
This is the time where you get photos on Instagram or Twitter of your favorite player at some cool vacation site, showing up at community events (unless your agent bans you from attending) or visiting friends and relatives, before the real season begins.
