Rupert & Murray might be starting soon. Are they even NBA ready? Heck, it don't matter. They're going to get full CJ Elleby playing time. But i'm sure they'll put up better numbers then 2 points.
Heard Flaker’s are giving Mayes a 4 yr deal. I wanted to keep him as our fourth guard, 3rd string backup. edit: I’m not fixing my autocorrect in this.
How many times has this happened to Chris Paul. Not sure why the Blazers have never picked him up? He'd be perfect.
Crazy thing is the headline says 4 years, but nothing more about that in the article and everything else says 2 way. No one signs a two way player to a four year contract. Is this just more shitty press reporting with a clickbait headline?
Right. but the link headline includes skylar mayes and the article doesn't mention any other player. https://www.si.com/fannation/nba/fastbreak/news/breaking-los-angeles-lakers-reportedly-sign-4-year-nba-player-skylar-mays-monday
Yes. It's a 2-way contract. They can only be for a maximum of 2-years: https://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q82
Wait. I get it now. Even though he has only played like 10 games prior to joining us, he has been on nba rosters for 4 years. They mean signimg 4 year "vet" Skylar Mayes. I swear top god reporting is just complete shit on all levels in all environments these days. To call Mayes a 4 year NBA player is laughable at best. I'm sorry. I was totally thrown off by the lack of clarity.
16 games over 4 years. That title is sooo missleading..... I just assumed he meant contract because there is no way I would cxonsider Mayes a four year player in the NBA... Hype train is in full swing down in pisstown it seems.
Ahh okay. I don’t know all the acronyms but I saw games at 16 for career. Thanks for the clarification.
I'm not trying to be confrontational, but this isn't a journalism problem, it's a reading comprehension problem. As much as you complain about journalism in this country, and I agree with a lot of it, I'd say a bigger issue is readers reading a headline and assuming they've got the whole story. Or misreading a headline.
This post unto itself isn’t really funny……but who it is directed towards just cracks me up. Well played Professor @RR7
Nah I get it. I just didn’t believe the headlines because I thought it was 16 games played. Not started. So four year nba player didn’t make sense to me. Since @Charcoal Filtered cleared that up, I get the title now.
