News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[Coach Ellis]

NWG contract reported to be 3 yrs $4.8M

Question: on draft & stash players, do the years in Europe count as years of experience?
Assume not, but interesting that NWG contract avg $1.6M/yr
thx

No. They are not. He’s still technically a rookie like O’Neale was in 2017. He must’ve really raised his profile to get better than the minimum.

So if I'm not missing something we are set up and there is nothing in the way of us officially signing Ed Davis, Jeff Green and Mudiay now. They should be soon to follow.

I'm sure it will happen in like a month lol

Shams tweeted that the last two years are not guaranteed, but he deleted the tweet.

If you have a three-year contract, I believe the first two must be guaranteed.

A 3-yr contract at the minimum for a player with no service time this season must be for at least a total of ~$4.2mm.

NWG got an extra $600k total over 3 years. It's not that much more than the minimum.

I think Oni is also non-guaranteed the last two. Royce also signed a 3 year with years 2 and 3 non-guaranteed. The Hinkie Special

One of these guys -- Jeff Green, Stanton Kidd, William Howard and Jarrell Brantley -- has to be good, no?
